Thanks for the links, but neither seems to have any affiliates in Sweden, so I'd have to find out rather a lot of info on freight, import procedures, import VAT, how guarantees and support are handled, whether documentation exists in Swedish etc. etc., not to mention currency fluctuations affecting the prices. I tried looking into importing some thin client boxes from the US once, but gave it up after trying to squeeze usable info about import procedures out of the authorities.
