When are you expecting these in OCUK? I've made up my mind I'm going to get one but I'm not a fan of pre-ordering.
Going to transplant my NZXT Manta guts into it, might see a significant temp increase going from 280+240mm to 280 only, I'm not sure how the lower 120 would fit if I'm honest looking at pictures.

Soldato
Initially they were saying August.
End of August, barring any production issues.

Hi
A bit of advice on cooling. I've ordered the Shift in Black, and i just wanted to have your thoughts on the best fan configuration; as i don't see the point in 140mm watercooling. I intend to swap over most of my parts and then get a 980ti or GTX1070 (both used), and a 700w psu. My budget for a gpu is £300 max. Looking at doing 1440p gaming with decent settings (high to ultra)
My current config is:
cpu - i5 6600
cooler - Silverstone AR06 - 95w TDP - current idle temp at 30c with fan set to low rpm. 70ish at load.
MB - Asrock Z170 (Bios updated to support 7th gen) - I originally had a i7 6700k hence the Z board
case - Silverstone FT03b with 400 sfx psu (Noisy and crap psu) - case and psu bought off ebay for £35.
GPU - GTX970
Fans- Noctua NF-F12 (pushing in air for the bottom.
Lighting - NZXT Hue+
Spare parts laying around - 1x Noctua NF-12, 2x 140mm Aerocool Dead Silence [No LEDs] @ fixed rpm (i think 800); and various cables etc.
I was thinking of in stalling my two aerocool fans, and a noctua at the bottom, all as intakes. Will this provide enough cooling? Given that the areocools are low rpm.
My other fan option would be to get 3 NZXT Aer RGBs, installing them all as intakes as the RGBs are only on one side. Would this be effective? or do you thank I should have one intake(bottom) and two exhausts?
Your thoughts very much welcome.
Thanks (ps. sorry for the essay
)

I love this case, sleek, tempered glass and excellent cooling options!
Do want the Shift but trying to figure out if you can fit a 140mm AIO cooler in the bottom bracket and then still keep the 140mm fan on the top that comes as standard?
No need for the Shift X I think, thanks to netflix I don't need many harddrives anymore lol!

OCUK, is the case that you used for the video available to view at the shop? I'd like to take a look at the shift X before hitting order and I'm passing your fine store today and need to an excuse to spend money.
Only just saw this unfortunately. Hopefully you managed to check one out.

I did indeed, please pass my thanks on to the chaps who were working on Saturday.
Interesting case, the footprint is TINY! It's going to be a real struggle to fit a full loop + res + twin rads in. Could be a fun challenge.
@ChugNorris we still on track for the end of August? Hoping this arrives before I head on my Holiday mid September
Shift are on track, Shift-X have been delayed by 1 week, both should arrive and be shipped out before Mid-September though.

any further update on shipping dates? I pre-ordered a shift.
Hopefully @ChugNorris can help us out here
The container with the Shift on landed at port yesterday. It's booked into our warehouse on Tuesday, so we should ship then for delivery Wednesday.
Brilliant, cheers for the update, looking forward to building in the Shift!
