Re: looking to buying dm 8000 in the UK

Got mine from dreamboxshop, installed image on it and away I went does everything you would want it to and more.

Might be big £££ but definately worth every penny. Got mine hooked up to a 1m motorised setup.

Also I asked was that the cheapest they could do it for and they done it for £869 including delivery to N Ireland.
