oh well , maybe hardwares generally cheaper in the US
you're right I didnt look around for too long, just asked i few mates if they had one then jumped on ebay.
The pi$$er is we've got about laptops with higher spec than that (and docking stations!) sitting in the bottom of a cabinet in my office that have been retired and are goint to sit their till they are obsolete due to my companys strict policy on disposing of stuff like that in a so called environmentally friendly way!

ironic eh
anyway i cant afford to wait around I have to get started while my motivation is peaking
I'm planning on really commiting myself next by getting that laptop psu thing from the shop here and the same 7" touch sreeen as the guy with the mk3 supras using, also from the shop here if i cant find one over here at similar price.
I'll shop around i bit more for that if possible
