Looks like late May for UK

It says on another site (competitor to ocuk) that the arc will be in stock may 30th and it's listed as £90!!!

So we have been waiting for this for about 5-6 months and it had a price hike?

Not happy at Fractal Design.

Core 3000 out in America, little brother to the Arc.

Definitely one of my top choices, given its fan options and sharp design. Now if we could only get an ETA as well as an indication of whether the price will be upped.

wont be happy if it is £90. was looking to this as my next upgrade

coolamasta · 12 May 2011 at 13:53

I like this case, I do not like the price hike when it comes out though

Edit: New vid

So it's the end of may pretty much, any update on release date or pre-order?

Price seems to vary, but seems arounf the £60-70 mark?

Interesting, was considering getting the XL, might wait and see some reviews of this before I make a final decision

Another half decent review is in for the Midi:

Seen the Arc (with an arrival date for July) and the Define Mini (in stock now) available elsewhere at £75 for the Arc and £85 for the Define Mini.

I was considering the Define Mini for a small quiet server box. But at the same price as the R3 and XL, it's not really worth it. Aside from if you're adamant you want the smaller mATX footprint.

Here's the full review by Mishima: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/fractal_design_arc_review,1.html

It should be priced at £65 according to FD.

Really wanted this but this wait is just too long

Bought a powdercoated Lancool K62 instead. Will arrive on wednesday

Can't wait for this case to come out. Will definitely be buying it!

Dual 120 rads, also thicker ones up to 60mm, will fit perfectly even with bigger memory modules like for example Corsair Dominator

:O :O :O. About to wet myself. The case side needs a window, not a mesh, but that can be cut. Other than that this looks ****** PERFECT. May have to consider a total rebuild in this case.
