Rock Xtreme 770 available outside the UK

If you watched the little video we posted here earlier putting the 8800M GTX against the 8600M GT and liked what you saw and want to order one, you can, even if you live in Australia or the US. It won't be cheap though, but you can at least knock the 17.5 percent VAT off the price, which is always something. That doesn't mean you won't have to pay import tax and other duties when it turns up on your doorstep, but that's a different matter.

Rock is offering three different basic configurations of the Xtreme 770 with the 8800M GTX graphics card, with the only difference being the CPU. Your choice is a T7500, T7700 or a T7800. All three models comes with a GeForce 8800M GTX graphics card with 512MB of memory, 2GB of DDR2-667 memory and a 17-inch 1,920x1,200 glossy display.



The T7500 model comes with a 100GB hard drive, the T7700 with a 160GB and the T7800 with a 200GB drive, all spinning at 7,200rpm. Other standard features include a HD-DVD/DVD writer combo drive, Intel 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi, 7.1-channel HD audio, Gigabit Ethernet, a 7-in-1 card reader, an Express Card slot and a DVI port.

Not bad going as far as specs goes and you can choose between orange or silver trim. Size wise you're looking at 397 x 294 x 37mm (WxDxH) and a fairly hefty 3.8kg's. How much you ask? Well, without the VAT you're looking at AU$3546.90 for the T7500, $3941.23 for the T7700 and $4335.55 for the T7800, add another $278 for shipping and you might've been put off ordering one already.
