Asrock Z77E-ITX availibility?

One store is reporting 16th of May. I'm looking to buy this motherboard as well due to heatsink support. The Asus would be nice but limits some heatsinks due to the VRM board.
 
I got one from the states, I have some good friends there who kindly bought and sent me one.

Will do a quick naked build and post some results.

A few Cpu benches @ 4.5ghz using 1.26v,cooling = Corsair H60 with an 1100rpm Gentle Typhoon.
8gb Samsung Green @ 1866, 9-9-9-28 1t 1.48v
No Gfx benches just yet, gtx 670 going in this tomorrow.
I can't finish modding the case until I get the 670.

If you have time could you make some measurements for me? Based on the orientation of the second picture. Whats the measurements either side of the cpu socket?

Ie. from the edge of the board to the start of the cpu socket on each side.

Thanks.

Is this for your M350 build?
Just tell me what cooler you are thinking of and I'll tell you if it will fit, much easier than you trying to guess it.
Will you be using the optional drive rails in the case?

A lot of webstores just seem to automatically add a week or so to today's date for stuff with no ETA. The Asrock seems closest to UK sale of the two though.
Regarding a cooler I think the NH-L12 is no-go with the Asrock as with all these mITX if you want PCIe except for, I'm still assuming, the Asus. Which low-profile coolers actually don't fit the Asus - I'm not sure the situation is quite so bad but no review has properly covered this.

I am more concerned about fitting it in the actual case though....as the hard drive is mounted in a weird way....thats what I wanted the measurements for!
 
This board will indeed give people headaches trying to fit certain coolers on it.

I tried to fit my Noctua NH-C14 to it earlier just for s**ts and giggles.
No go if you want a gfx card and backplate trimming would be needed to miss the msata slot on the back of the board.

For the build it's going into I'm using a H60 with an 1100rpm Scythe GT fan.
The backplate goes on and just misses the msata slot by a whisker (literally)
I've used this combo many times in builds, potent cooling and very, very quiet.

The board has the same socket placement as the Asrock Z68 ITX.
Just google for peeps using the Kozuti on that.
Height wise you should be ok, I just have a feeling the Kozuti is going to extend into the pci-e slot (perhaps beyond it and may even hit the case)

You can move the ssd anywhere in the case with a velcro mount, you aren't restricted to the case's drive mount.
