So this French company Relec makes complete SAM systems. I figured I'd check their price for a SAM460, because I like to be a price conscious consumer. Going here:
http://www.relec.ch/frch/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=16&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2&lang=en

...I see the PCB for CHF 1150, and the the REDONE X 1GB bundle for CHF 1550. I add this selection to my cart (both are required, not separate items), and in my cart the total is CHF 3100. Not sure why it was 3100 instead of 2700, but maybe addition works differently in France.

CHF 3100 = $3197 USD.

Is it just me or does this seem a little steep?


I think  the bundle contains the mobo, case, ram and drives.  Still way overpriced at 1550CHF when you can order a full AresOne 2011 system at vesalia.de for 244.90 EUR or get a Powermac (or Mac mini or eMac) from ebay for 50-200 EUR...
