Nope, Neil's right.  At the moment the systems are being imported from the
US.  Our Operations Director is sat behind me at the moment, working out the
best way to change this state of affairs.

FWIW, I went round the DN and other sites last week comparing prices for 
equivalent systems.  At the low end the BSDi hardware is a few hundred to 
a thousand dollars or so cheaper.  The higher the spec goes the better 
value the BSDi hardware is -- but then, you'd expect me to say that wouldn't
you :-)  That price differential might more than offset the extra hassle of
ordering through the US at the moment. . .

hundreds if not thousands of dollars.  Thinking before posting, priceless.
