French VAT is (as far as I can tell) 19.6%, that covers most of it...
Also, interestingly enough, they advertise the 800MHz version at 489.
In any case, "recommended end user price" does not mean "if you charge more than this there will be pitch forks and torches".
You don't like the price? Shop elsewhere. Last edited by olegil on 02-Apr-2009 at 06:22 PM.

Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

I understand their news as being a complete system as opposed to only the motherboard at ACube.

| I'm assuming VAT or something 'extra' is in there, what is it/cost without? |
As far as I know, US buyers don't pay VAT, we pay the euro to usd plus shipping. Not sure about customs though, I know when I bought my micro board from Canada, there was no custom fee.
667MHz system is $1110 usd
800MHz system is $1198 usd

Why is there such an obsession in this community with MHz these days?
If it does the job at 800Mhz, why do you need a Ghz?

| How do you overclock a SAM? Going from 667MHz to 800MHz is a 20% jump. It would be a nice replacement for my micro, but how safe is it to overclock the board?
Edit: Never mind, just read ACube's post.  Last edited by sundown on 02-Apr-2009 at 11:00 PM.

| @olegil - thanks, I have no idea what amounts VAT are, was hoping for Farenheit to clarify for US users, or perhaps that price included OS4. If VAT is 19.6 (looked quickly, saw same #, but also referecne to 15% somewhere else..?), then yeah, that's pretty close to the price difference.
@moxee - yes, the news item was, but I have little interest in a system for $1200USD-ish, thus was looking at the mobo bare prices, and saw the discrepancy with ACube suggested retail prices, so asked.
@sundown
Yeah, ouch. I do like some of the latest mini cases, but no idea on customs cost, etc..too rich for my blood, maybe amikit US will be better for those in the US..I would like to know if anyone knows what it costs for customs from France to the US, though. Been a fairly long time since I've bought something to ship from overseas..

| I like the case they are offering. The swing top looks like it will allow easier access to the motherboard. In fact, I changed the specs to 800MZ/1GB and clicked the shopping cart icon. My screen dragbar flashed black and IBrowse just reloaded the page. Does this site work with an Amiga? Now that I think about it though, I don't know if I like the idea of ordering from someone I can't communicate with since I don't speak French. Maybe it's for the better that the shopping cart icon didn't work.

You're right, because Americans are the only people in the world that speak english.

Btw, good to see some new hardware Last edited by Nibunnoichi on 04-Apr-2009 at 11:10 AM.
