Congratulations, too !
One thing I didn't mention above was that my plan to use my old DVD drive was a failure - it was still an IDE drive… So adding that, getting an external SD card reader, and a DVI-e monitor cable it was about 1900 CHF, so roughly 1600€ or $2000. If that seems expensive, keep in mind that we are talking about Switzerland - everything is expensive here, but wages are high too

And I wanted a local supplier to have decent service.
