    You can actually bring it down to $2500 if you drop the cpu to the e6750.

    It actually costs extra to have 2 8800gtx's instead of the 3 gtx 280s

    Its worth a try, but has to be a mistake and I doubt they will honour it.

    3 x gtx 280 = €1500 alone.

    I'm guessing it's a mistake on their part - I'm sending them an e-mail to see what the story is, might buy one if it's for real

    GT280 or GTX280 - is there a GT280, and if so is it cheaper?

    Remember if it's checked, customs will hit you for 21% VAT plus any import duty on top.

    Another thing I found out about some sites in the US is that they dont show the taxes so the price can go up by couple hundred dollars.
