Ordered it from their website and when it came to putting an address in I put my address in..... simples
Oh I was just wondering if you found a way around the 20 dollar international shipping fees

Nice. I find the keyboard very noisy on hard surfaces though, which is annoying. Solved using some foam underneath, which is invisible unless you left the thing up.
Also, you have room for a 27-30" monitor. G'wan.

It's purely an overpriced piece of metal that's been curved into a stand for the Macbook Pro.
But it's oh so pretty.

Yeah thats the idea, hook it up to an external when I need a bigger screen. I haven't been monitoring the temps but I can safely say that it's cooler as I never hear the fans when in desktop mode.

Where can I get in on that?
I made a thread on here last year, I won it by topping up phone credit on O2 surprises.
Was just for a spare phone too! Haha!
The Time Capsule and SMK-88 are new. The Time Capsule, is an absolute pain in the arse. It regularly drops it's connection to the network, so wireless automatic backups fail and you have to manually backup. It also gets ridiculously hot, particularly when it runs the first initial backup of about 13Gb. Proof of form over function. It's no wonder people complained about these things dying regularly. The inside probably gets cooked. I fully expect to have to return it in a couple months due to hardware failure. I hope they update it with a vented one next.
The SMK-88 I got from a chap in America. So it's ANSI layout. But I don't mind ANSI. Much prefer it over ISO. It's the second version of the SMK-88 that features the media controls and FN key on the left and page up, page down, delete and help on the right. Prior to this, both the media controls and FN key were on the right as well. It uses cherry MX blues and is a delight to type on. There are things that annoy me about, but that's all going in my review on another forum I use when I've used it for a bit longer.

I have the Time Capsule and I'm very surprised to hear you're having problems. It's the simplest router I've ever used. Btw mine has never got as hot as you are describing.
I'm guessing you probably have a faulty one or maybe your speakers are causing interference?
