What office do YOU work in?

Tis kind of amusing, I contacted OcUK, asked if they could reduce the price a little (tis currently at £2400) or maybe throw some of the cheaper stuff in for free (AS5, SATA cables, cheapo floppy, etc) and they refused, they also said they couldn't waive the shipping (which would supposedly be no more than £8). It's kind of sad when a company won't swallow £8 when the sale is over £2400.

Emailed Micro Direct with the spec and they got about £80 off although that's without the Thermalright SLK, but still, even if I was to include that they've still beat OcUK by around £50.

I'll see if I can get a better quote from some of the other retailers.
