theJesusThat is a pretty good price for this case and that Core 3000 looks great too. Any idea if either of these will end up on Newegg?
I love it when the US is behind Europe with computer gear.

Fractal Design is a Europe company, so its only sensible that we get it first. That case is not available to us yet anyway. Samsung Galaxy SII is another story though :D

It isn't really behind in components like cpu, gpu, ram, board, drives, etc. but when it comes to things like cases, a lot of them can be hard to find in the US. Xigmatek still has not released the Pantheon that I wanted so bad to the US. When I called them back in December about it, they told me it would be January or February . . . well, still isn't here :shadedshu

I don't mind shipping smaller items from Europe, but shipping cases is super expensive :(
