As I already have Windows XP Professional on me, I decided to purchase the system without an OS. The total cost (shipping inclusive) came up to USD$1886.65, or roughly RM6600. Of course this amount is an approximation - expect to pay more to cover both local and international bank charges as well as to account for poorer exchange rates offered at banks. Ended up paying around RM6700.

Don't worry I'm using the same shipping option as yours. After the machine arrived in Malaysia, USPS actually hand the goods to Pos Laju and they'll send it to you using EMS. My case though and no joking its really Express, pretty fast but I think my dad told me that he had to pay the EMS charges for me... Well... I'm still kind of over excited ATM so don't really remember lol, good luck!
