Those are good prices, but I think things will get cheaper still if the current financial situation continues.

Personally I'm on the look out for a cheap 4670 or 4550 for my HTPC so if you spot any on your travels would be much appreciated.

Actually, hardware prices are on the up due to the dollar and in the next month or two, DDR2 prices will start to climb again, hence i've just bought another 4GB for Â£33 at ebuyer before it starts.

As we import nearly all of it from abroad

I think we might be seeing a fairly large amount of bankruptcy sales going forward into 2009, so I'll hold out for whether prices will increase so much. Also with oil futures still at a pretty low level, even after Israel's little incursions it may allow manufacturers to maintain profits on lower retail price.
