Lian Li Lancool III black finish

Is it my imagination or are a lot of cases out of stock everywhere with no time estimates?

Was looking at the Pop Air Mini, the Lancool 216, Lancool III, Fractal North... feeling like my ryzen 7000 build is going to get scuppered by not having a case to put it in :(

I am assuming it's a result of the Chinese New Year, which finished a week ago and the resulting national holiday. Add on the time required to ship via container to the UK, I hope some might come into stock by the end of the month.

Maybe @Gibliotech can offer any idea of ETAs?

Makes sense. Totally forgot about that. Even across Europe (we are Europe, don’t start on that, ) stock is quite patchy.
Fans, CPUs, motherboards and pretty much everything else seems reasonably available, though.
 
Decided to base a new build on one of these as well, but not being in stock has been holding me back. Any sort of estimated ETA would be good
 
Pre-ordered the case anyway, so I'll just have to wait. Been trying to build a new PC since the Nvidia 30 cards came out. Never got a sniff of one of those, so waited for the 40 series, so I think I can wait a couple more weeks for this case to become available.
 
It's worth waiting for, a lovely case to build in. It's over engineered but I enjoy all the little features. It allowed me to cram an awful lot of watercooling in a relatively small space!
 
Does anyone from the OC staff have any idea when this case is going to be in stock? I noticed that a European retailer has just got some in stock so I'm hoping OC might be getting delivery soon. Would be nice to have some idea.
Also, what's the deal with other components in the same order, specifically the BeQuiet pure power 12 1000w. It was in stock a few days ago, but now on pre-order. Does this mean that if the case comes into stock, I'll have to wait for the PSU to come back into stock as well, or does one get set aside.
Thanks in advance.
 
For those desperate and willing to take the chance, there's some B-Stock. For cases, is quite a big chance it is fine, likely was returned because the buyer changed mind or incompatible with hardware.
 
I think OCUK keeps stock off items ordered already, so if you have already made your order, the store will update to reflect they're waiting on new stock (pre-order) for any new orders. I purchased my motherboard off OCUK and when I ordered, it was green (in stock) the next day it was still in stock, then changed to amber (Pre-Order). And I thought I'd have to wait longer.

It turns out OCUK had already packed my motherboard up and was sending it to me a few minutes after I sent in an update request on the order.

So, if you've already put the order in, and the item was in stock then, it should be held for your order.

As for when new stock comes in, I'm afraid I don't know that one.

I can only tell you the case is great (I've got the white version), also purchased from OCUK. Just one minor niggle (some slight scratched paint off of the nib that closes the case, but that's normal given the design Lian-Li made. Oh, and one slightly melted HD Audio header cable (likely damaged by Lian Li rather than OCUK as it was unopened). Thankfully it still works so no an issue here, but do check everything over when you get yours in case something is beyond acceptable and get it sorted).
 
I emailed last week and was advised that they would be expecting stock yesterday (15th Feb) so I would hope that we should hear something over the next day or two in regards to shipping.
 
I heard that they were having problems with the manufacturer but are expecting these today. I ordered the case (Lancool 216) on 8th January, and I've been sat on all the parts ever since (these now can't be returned) so really hoping there are no further delays...

Same. I've had most of the parts since middle of January. Waiting on the Lancool III, PSU and AIO. AIO in stock, but the other items out of stock.
