The ideal would be that they order it and we get the invoice from Dell. Perhaps ask Sonia to call her contact at Dell and figure out what would be the easiest approach.
She did that, and they weren't too happy about above ("bad experiences with customs"). We will have to specify what we want and send specs to MSK-IX. Sonia was adamant about getting a quote on price (to be approved by us), before they go ahead with the order. Cheers, Matthew

Just thinking out loud:
In order to circumvent excessive $$$ at Russian customs, wouldn't it be smarter to have the IXP order a Dell PowerEdge to OPS requirements and ship your nifty little CD instead? Would that work or should we just go down the normal route. I will naturally have to ask the IXP as well.
It would be far easier, as long as we know the IP configuration in advance.
If they buy it, we'll have to reimburse them. Please check with Jochem about transferring the euro's.
