The best site for seeing completed builds and comments is
PCPartPicker ....although they are heavily game based.
Some prices are USA ones.
They also track component prices and compare prices.
This is the ram I bought....

bar across the graph it shows the price at each date.
An image BUP is essential when building a PC so that you can
go right back. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx is
excellent and fast as well as free. Create a Linux recovery
CD/DVD from it after the 1st BUP. You don't need the MS
version which involves a 170mb download and you don't
need to know anything about Linux.
Recovery is easy and fast and takes about 10 mins from
booting the CD/DVD.

Sadly you nailed it. Many saw the initial rumours and read 'entry level', and despite later specs and rewordings they still speak of it as a base-level camera. It's just different, and it's Ricoh making the call. Sure it took a few engineers away from other products, but it's just a new look for a camera - incidentally, with the K-3 specs I like most.
It feels like many outspoken early forum critics will actually be disappointed if this becomes a big hit for R-Pentax!
some leftover relic from the 70's

better stopped down slightly. The DA* seems to be the same
in sharpness terms from f/4 to f.8
Both lenses are about the same from about f/5.6.
I can't remember what the angle of view was like.
The 300mm A* is about 15% longer than the DA*
EDIT:
Just had a look at the Photozone test of the DA*
They also found it to be sharper at f/4 than f/8
So the F* isn't in the same league

The Photozone test will have been done in perfect lighting,
but the DA* stands out in poor lighting.
