I've seen some digital pianos like the Casio PX110 Privia at decent prices ($397?). It seems like an amazing deal, but what are other piano goons' experience with this piano? On the Piano World Forums, which from what I can tell are the largest piano forums on the internet, the PX110 is the most commonly suggested starter digital piano. It is the "cheapest" digital piano available that has fully weighted hammer action keys. The PX310 is the same thing, but with more keyboard bells and whistles. The PX700 and PX800 are the same respective keyboards, but come with stands. If you have a guitar center or something like that near you go check it out. Obviously some of the more expensive keyboards had better action (for ex the keys were quieter), but it was not worth the extra $350+ more over the PX110 to get something similar from Yamaha or Roland.

The PX-310 is the same keyboard, but with more electronic bells and whistles. The PX-110 is around $400 here in the U.S. and it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to ship one internationally. Anything else with fully weighted keys is more expensive than the PX-110. For example, another "entry level" keyboard, the Yamaha YGP-625, is like $600+. Anything less expensive (<$400) does not have fully weighted keys. You want fully weighted keys. The 88sx only has semi weighted keys; it is not what you want. I have the PX-110 and it is good for what I bought it for (cheapest fully weighted keys I could get). I also have a M audio 88es (semi weighted keys) and the difference in the realism is night and day.

I ask because I'm thinking of getting one, but I'd be mainly using it with the pc and if it's a hassle to get working (I have Vista, which probably doesn't help), I'd rather stick with my M-Audio 49es, which while kinda crappy Just Works with no drama on all the computers I've tried it with. The PX-110 has midi in and out, you would just need a MIDI to USB cable. I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work fine.
