totaling $462.05
Your shipping will probably be less (The OGO was the majority of the weight)

They have the cheapest price I've found for the accessories.

The url for CDW is http://www.cdw.com enter omnigo for the search string
or you can call them at 1-800-800-4239

Hope this helps.

FYI,
The OGO can be had for a better price at other places. (Like Notebook
Supply Warehouse shipped for $309)
I also just found the $50 rebate coupon at Office MAX.
