Fractal Design Node 605

You getting these in OCUK?

Read they'll be out August.

I'm looking for an HTPC case to fit in with my hifi/AV rack and this looks perfect. Should just squeeze in the bottom of my rack and fit some most stuff. Fit.

+1!

I'm very interested in this case too...

It's August, and no sign of these in the UK :-(

Love the clean look of the front, so looking to pick one up..

Any ETA on these OCUK?

If they don't have them in stock, why not ask here:

You're actually more likely to get a response from people who actually know... And they'll tell you if they're going to get one in stock, and if not you can suggest they do...

prefer the node 304 as a htpc

The 304 is nice, but since my HTPC is in a Fractal Design R3 at the moment, I need a case which will take an ATX board. Only reason for the R3 was that I am running 5 x 2Tb drives in RAID 5 in it - just bought a Qnap and 4 x 4Tb Hitachi drives, so looking to downsize the HTPC case a little bit..

I did toy with the OrigenAE range but don't really want the display..

Heard 304 will be available in US at end of September and 605 available in October, with 304 around 90$ and 605 around 160$

the 304 is my kind of case, no optical bay! w00t!

duno why they put a curved front on it tho, i guess to show off it doesnt have one? a plain bit of alu would have looked much nicer

the design inside looks pretty nice

605.. 4hdd's for such a big case, meh dont see the point

I have a big TV bench thing and wanted a horizontal case to go in it that fit a full length card(s) and could probably fit some basic WC'ing in, possibly - this ticks all the boxes.

October, bah! Oh well I have several other things to buy first so just as well it's not out yet.

Does anyone have an update on this case for a UK ETA?
