Guys

We will have a VERY limited allocation of stock next week.
[This may be subject to delays but I am doing everything in my power to make it happen]

over half of this is already allocated to pre orders so please order to avoid disappointment.

Please, if you want your case

If we miss out on next week's stock how long is the wait for more stock likely to be?

august. the original ETA

GoogalyMoogaly · 16 Jul 2013 at 20:26

Is there still time to get in on the early pre-orders?

Ok, thanks. I think I'll be able to order mine this week anyway

Only half already allocated, I assume yes as we're told to order to avoid disappointment.

True I guess... If only half had been taken by pre-orders 11 hours ago then surely the other half haven't yet (I hope lol).

let's hope so.
Now if only OcUKs motherboard prices were more competitive I could've order one of them too!

Am seriously tempted by this as I've been wanting to change from the cosmos s I have which I've not got on with since buying it like 5years ago.

If you do get a motherboard from ocuk just be sure you don't end up with any bent pins in the CPU socket lest you be called a liar by their cs staff when you phone and say you didn't cause the damage.

lol that's what they did to me with my last mobo. They said I did it and infact I did not. :eek:

But did the cs person you spoke to flat out call you a liar? That's what I got ~15 months ago after I'd rma'ed my asrock extreme 7 gen3 it got returned with the RMA rejected so I called up.

That's a good idea. Thanks

Rjkoneill, it looks like I won't be able to order until next Monday. Do you think there will still be enough stock left (from current order rates) for me to get mine next week? If not I guess I'll wait until August when I order my new motherboard and processor.

EDIT: Looks like I'll be eligible for free postage on the 26th so I'll wait until then before I order it (along with an NZXT Hue RGB).

Which PSU would go better in this case, the corsair ax760/860 or the seasonic 760/860 platinum ? yes I'm aware they're basically the same units, it's more the fact of cable lengths etc if there is /are any difference/s and if so which works better in the case.

As for the wattage will the 760w be enough for a 4670k/4770k system with 6950 unlocked to 6970 crossfire(to be upgraded in the near future after the radeons are released).

Which ever PSU you buy You'll have no issues with cable lengths.

Does anyone know if you'll be able to get non-windowed side panels for this case?

Why would you want that? 50% of the appeal of this case is the window. The other half is having the PSU and 5.25 slot on the back.

Sound?

~Dockie · 20 Jul 2013 at 17:13

Is there any plans for this to be released in any other colour?

I think the case looks great but the window is utterly vile. I'm not 12 and I don't want my computer looking like a prostitutes window box. I'd be very interested in a solid side panel.

Hopefully the other side may be interchangeable and available as a spare part?
