Subject: How to get a NeXT abroad?

I am now very enthusiastic about getting a NeXTStation. So much, in
fact, that I would be willing to sell ALL my possessions to get one. I
would probably get:

Basic NeXTStation (estimated price $3200)
Laser Printer (estimated price $1250)

and an additional 300MB HD later ($1200 or so third party).

The problem is, that I live in Finland and nobody sells the NeXTs here.
So if somebody has bought NeXTs from other countries (for example people
living in Europe bought from the U.S.) I would like to know how is it
best done. (I need the educational discount, I am studying computer
sciences in the University of Helsinki. And I will quite probably become
a developer, too.) Is it possible to buy straight from NeXT?

After I have sold my possessions (and earned some extra money) to get
the system, I will have to live a bit ascetic life. But I think that
could help me concentrate on the NeXT better. I think that getting a
NeXT is a bit like buying pencils and paper - it is a basic thing.
