Hello Everyone,

This case will be priced at roughly 34,90 EUR including 20% European VAT and 39,90 USD excluding VAT. It's definitely a mATX case with a height of only 355mm and it is our cheapest case so far, but packed with a lot of features that you don't otherwise see at this price point.

If you have something more similar to Antec 300 in size and price, you should take a look at Core 3000.

That 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

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
