From what I understand can't use sg credit card to pay right ..

And warranty must send back also..

However how much would the freight cost be for the item approx you know?

Usually Amazon will match their price at most after a few days, it's $264 already.

Amazon can use Singapore Credit Card and then ship to vPostUSA. I'm not sure if the Portland, Oregon address is taxed when shipped from Amazon.

It's not just the freight, you may have to pay GST as well if your total CIFS exceeds $400, CIFS includes insurance and freight.
GST is nearly the same price as shipping , +/-

Just installed Win 7, surfing the net and playing around with some apps.

One thing I noticed is the eerie silence from the com. On regular PCs you can hear the hdd ticking and you'd be surprised how you kinda get used to it.

This silence is weirdly satisfying..

If you have a citibank credit card, can use the conceige service.

Delivery is fast... probably takes about 1 week to reach

Newegg is one of their recognised vendors as well

Actually 60GB is damn little. Advice to any potential users, if you think you wanna just try it out with 60GB just go for 120, cos you can't use your com on a "trial" basis you'll need to install commonly used apps most of which are big and will certainly benefit from running from the SSD. This thing really is amazing don't regret by buying too small

vconceirge? borderlinx?

Roughly will translate to how much if I order through either services? Say if I were to go for the 128GB SSD.

us$199 + any shipping + ~us$20 (borderlinx concierge)
