The new European model will be the VGC-RA104.

It doesn't come with water-cooling, but it is a killer-machine nonetheless! All the new features from Intel's Grantsdale chipset...mjummieee!

Can't wait to get my hands on that machine!

We are expecting the R to arrive on the UK shores some time at the begining of August or even sooner. Our current stock of the RZ desktops which are still very good looking are starting to dwindle and not getting to many back in to stock.

That would normaly indicate to us that the R is on its way.

Plus knowing how Sony normaly do there range changes it is coming up to that time.

Also we had the Sony rep in the store the other day and he was showing it off on his laptop, and he also said that there was going to be some intresting info on a new product coming out this week?!?

When we asked him about Sony's iPod rival the NW-HD1 he knew nothing about it.:smileyconfused: but it is on the Sony site, looking forward to getting my hands on that for a test drive :smileygrin:

Yeah I think everyone is waiting for the new R desktops. Apparently they have water cooling (or is that just more rumurs?)

Hope they'll be retailing at a decent price.

One other thing to point out it looks like Giga-pocket is being droped for Microsoft Windows XP Media Edition instead

Nice.
Though I hear Gigapocket is better than XP's media centre.
