That converts to GBP27 today which is about twice what I paid for my tester a 
couple of years back. Alternatively you could look here:-

I cannot endorse this one of course, only say that the Antec branded tester I 
bought has paid its keep.

There's loads more of these priced in AUD from Hong Kong which you could also 
consider.
