Hi nealgs,
kinda got lucky with the import duty thing, postie left it with a neighbour & I didn't pay a penny other than the cable cost + shipping. I did notice though that the charge due was about £35 on cable/shipping costs of $185. Couldn't believe the box when I saw it, it was plastered in big red labels stating a charge was due on delivery.

ifti,
I originally tried a 'generic' 10m at around £40 & got loads of sparklies - totally unusable. No probs with cobalt one & at around £100 all in for 10m DVI that ain't bad. Granted though that I got lucky with import taxes etc...

neil.
