Cool nice to see they made it into stock yesterday - has anyone had their pre-order dispatched yet (I keep checking the order status page and still "in our warehouse queue")?
 
Cool - sounds like your orders are progressing, mine's still stuck "in our warehouse queue". I guess it's first come first serve and I suspect I was later to pre-order than you guys (pre-ordered on 6th Oct).
 
XL ATX possible ?

I'm hopping to join your club, with in my opinion one of the sexiest looking off the shelf cases you can buy also at a wicked price. My problem is it doesn't support XL ATX out of the box. I have the MSI Z87 XPower motherboard and would love to use it, if I could. My question is between the bottom of a regular ATX MB, and the Enthoos psu shroud there looks to be about 2 inches spare, is there enough room for me to do what we all do best and drill and tap 3 new holes for standoffs ? I understand that I would be covering up the bottom grommets but that isn't an issue. The MB is 34.5 cm long if that helps. Would one of you lovely people mind measuring for me please exactly how long is the motherboard tray, that would be great.

From the bottom holes to top of PSU shroud is 41mm
From bottom of ATX board to top of PSU shroud is 25mm.

I can find drawing of ATX mounting but not XL-ATX. It appears XL-ATX will not fit. Maybe if the XL-ATX was mounted 20-21mm higher in case (one PCI slot's width).. modify the I/O opening 20-21mm and repositioning all motherboard mounts up the same 20-21mm.
