$189.99 so that'll be what... £189.99 the way things always seem to translate...
$189.99 is ~£134 ... VAT takes it up to £154-ish...so no doubt there'll be some form of 'you live in Europe/UK so we're gonna screw you for it' charge, no doubt in the region of £45, which will take it to £190-ish and a straight $1 = £1 conversion rate...
the cheapest 17 board i've seen... not that i've been looking much... is the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R... £176.40 from scan...

Currently £175 from Scan though it only has 4 memory slots (not that many people want more than 3 sticks of ram), Gigabyte have some well priced boards, the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P is £203 and feature packed, this MSI board will probably be priced to compete, but who knows how much will be added to the UK pricing.
It was just about £1 = $1 conversion rate on goods BEFORE the pound plummeted.....Now I expect it to be worse.........somehow
As for the board, I think it's only the second board I have seen that would allow me to fully load the 4 PCI-E cards I want to use......Might be the upgrade I was after, especially if it does somehow come in at £175 or less and even more so if i7 CPU prices came down a bit too.
