Import it directly from Cyclades in the US.  You'll save hundreds
of dollars, and probably get it just as fast as you would from the
Sydney-based distributor.  I know someone who used their credit card to
order a 16 port card direct from Cyclades on a Friday and had the board
in their hands the following Tuesday...  I installed it for him and it
works brilliantly.
