I've only found 1 Z series (Z61, I like the widescreen displays) on
dabs.com (I'm UK based). Even the online lenovo.co.uk shop doesn't
have the new core 2 duo's yet...

The price isn't too bad. The dabs.com Z61m is a tad over a grand
including VAT. WHich is a pretty good comparison with the other Z
series boxes.

The only downside is that lenovo/ibm website doesn't list the model
number dabs.com claim... Maybe things will get better in a week or so...
