Eeek. :-) That is really expensive. Here's some numbers from
pricewatch.com just give you an idea on "cheapest" prices today. Of
course, pricewatch prices are usually a bit lower than you could
reasonably expect to pay, but still, it should give you an idea.

In general CompUSA has prices surpassing "insane" (how about $15 for
a gender changer that cost $2 at Walmart for example)...
