2x 500GB WD Caviar RE3 (gmirror RAID-1)
SeaSonic S12II-500
Intel PWLA8391GT NIC

Seagate 80GB and 400GB hard disk migrated from my old system.

Total cost about 520 euro ... I bought the CPU on ebay for 140 euro (New in box, sealed), the rest is new ...

The CPU is so fast, this system is replacing a PIII 800, I was used to getting coffee with cookies when building a port ... Now it's done before I can get out of the chair
I was interested because I am a reseller here in the US. It looks like your price is pretty much what I would have been able to build it here in the US for. Too bad the VAT would probably kill any competitive bid I could give you guys as I do ship to most international destinations (except Nigeria and the like).

Like you, I still like my AMD and I am a channel partner. The Opterons seem better to me than the Phenom though. Most of my servers are running dual core or quad core Opterons. Way more power than I need even for virtualization.
