Seeing as the U.S. dollar has been plummeting (although, admittedly I haven't checked the index as of late), perhaps you can get an even better deal. How can you afford such a rig, Lenny? :P Still working at that one job where they tell you perverted jokes?

Now that's a very good point - I could buy from the US and ship the components over. Hmmm.
And yes - I'll be back there at the start of July.
I've already got about £500 in my bank account, and my Summer job should net me about £2000... maybe £1500 - my parents want to drag the family on a holiday around Italy in the middle of August.
The only reason I can afford it (other than working) is because I'm extremely tight with my money.
Drinking? Nah. Girls? Nah. I might splash out the odd £100 on a series of books, or a few games, but it's rare. Everything is stockpiled until a time comes when I want to buy some new technology.
EDIT: £1 is the equivalent of $1.95, which isn't bad - a few months ago a pound was over two dollars. It still means that Brits going on holiday to America get a brilliant deal, though - everything is 'half-price' to us. And when you add in the fact that we pay a lot of tax on things anyway, and you've got much cheaper goods, well, we're larfink.
