<div><br></div><div>I'm sorry I don't have much of a clue about the GBP/USD rate at the moment, but the Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard cost me £127, then I added 2 x 1GB of PC2-6400 RAM (around £30) and the SSD drive (£50). My Acer Revo cost me £199 a little while ago but that included the Bluetooth keyboard, mouse etc.</div>
