Approx £300 off a well known auction site.
Nice one, good price!!![]()
The SZ77R5 is already available in Canada it seems. It is around £240 excluding tax over there.
More information about the system:

It seems the SZ68R5 might be a short lived model.
Hmmm do I cancel and wait for sz77 .....
If you are going to keep the machine for quite a while I would not worry about Z77 over Z68. The Z68 will support Ivy Bridge and as I say, there really is no difference between the chipsets really.
You could be waiting and waiting if you delay for the Z77 and then something else will be just around the corner, so you will end up waiting forever.
Yeah I guess your right, thing is I like the look of it and as its mobo is upgradable I could always just buy a z77itx or something else, ah stuff it, ill be waiting for ever like you say![]()

I'm also going to keep the pressure on Shuttle to supply motherboard upgrades at a reasonable price. So it maybe that you will be able to upgrade the Z68 motherboard to a Z77 in the near future without needing to buy a new case, PSU and heatsink.
BTW,the site which advertised the SZ77R5 is NCIX which is one of the biggest computer parts retailers in Canada.
Even Crucial is starting to list compatible memory on their website. The SZ77R5 is being released soon it seems.
Waiting a few weeks makes more sense than wasting money down the line on a new motherboard.
The only thing I know is native usb 3 and pci-e gen3? both of which i guess mean very little to me
