Teron PX ATX PowerPC motherboard, YDL: $499.00 + Shipping

AmigaOne-XE m/b w/ G4 7451@800MHz cpu 500.00 +VAT & Shipping

The AmigaOne doesn`t cost much more, and includes an OS4 licence.

The £800 pounds that someone quoted was for a G4 Starter System not just the Motherboard.

Given all this, I really don`t think we are being ripped off.

OK, picking myself up from my previous posts on this subject...

> The only thing is that $499 = £302

True.  however, it never actually translates like this does it?

I mean, we in the UK are always being ripped off,  a $499 product is usually sold in the UK fo £499.

Isn`t this always the case?

I feel sorry for the people in the US who are paying for the board to be sent to eyetech, just to be sent back to the US.

Or am I being my usual stupid self?

> it says G3-600mhz on the "view shopping cart"

I noticed on their website that the picture of the board is actually a TeronCX with a surface-mount G3.

But thats just a picture...

£399 + VAT for a G4@450Mhz with 1mb cache

and thats just a processor card!  Does the A1-XE still seem expensive?


OK... stupid question  :-)

@MarkTime

> they really do overcharge 'ya'll' somtimes over there

Yeah, they really do!

I`ve just been checking Gordon Harwoods website (remember them?), they have Upgrades as follows:

Sonnet Encore/ST G4 800MHz Upgrade Card With 2MB DDR L3 Cache £339 +VAT & Shipping

This also has a L3 cache though...

It`s a bit more like it, but the A1-XE costs £499 and this costs £339 just for the CPU card (although, lets not forget the L3 cache)

We are basically paying £160 +VAT for the motherboard and OS4 Licence.

Which, I`ll admit, does seem expensive, but so is everythink in the UK!
