Thanks folks!
Richard, i've only looked briefly, but the cheapest S939 Athlon 64 that I found was the Athlon 64 3500+ S939 512Kb at £236.98 - a Gigabyte nForce 3 250 Ultra with RAID (the only s939 board i found) was a further £129.99. While I have no doubt that they're a awesome combination, on their own they're nearly half the price of the system in question. Maybe it's bl**dy UK prices again, but i'm not sure we're really comparing like with like
As an aside, I couldn't find the monitor listed at dabs.com (the only place i've looked, and the source of the prices above), but the inch-smaller L170p monitor is listed at £556.98 - either it's all a rather good deal, or they've got the monitor spec wrong... (edit: actually dabs' price is rubbish - the L180p is £327.65 elsewhere...
)
