What would be your move now that you know the price of the X1000?

Since we know the X1000 is over US$2600, are you still planning to buy it or look for another solution such as...

I wasn't planning to buy a desktop/tower, so my plan continues to be to NOT buy the X1000. Put a similar performance/features OS4 kit into a proper laptop then I'll be trying very hard to buy it.

deliberately b0rked PCI-e bus.

Huh?

Sorry, I meant PCI-e *slot*, aka Xorro. You can't put a real PCI-e card into it and have it work.

I was under the impression that the Xorro slot was behind and in-line with a x1 PCI-Express slot, so you can ignore Xorro and plug in a standard x1 PCI-Express card. There's nothing b0rked about it being a PCI-Express slot.
