Well, $2000 Canadian translates into about 1300 Euros or 840 UKP. I
don't know what you can buy for 199UKP... that's about $470CDN, which is the
price of an Amiga graphics card.
Buying hardware from outside Canada is out of the question because
(thanks to the Canadian government), I would need to pay duty as well as tax on
it -- it would end up being prohibitively expensive.
