Been gaming on my rig for 2-3 weeks now, but my old M1 is too small, so I made a quick 3D printed mainboard-carrier and GPU-mount (for stability, the non-reference 7900 XTX is 'fing huge and heavy) ... Been waiting for the C4-SFX

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON INTERNATIONAL STOCK:
Before you throw stones on me on release date - here are some background information on stock amount and stock handling. To begin with DAN Cases is not responsible for any stock handling!
The international and EU launch is basically handled by Caseking. Caseking is a distributor and reseller. Furthermore Caseking is part of the Pro Gamers Group holding. Shops like OverclockingUK, PCCaseGear, Jimms.fi and Globaldata.pt are also a part of it.
If a holding member shop like OverclockersUK is interested in selling the C4-SFX it can place a product exchange order and will get units from Caseking. This will take 10-14 days. OverclockersUK initial C4-SFX request was ok but will not last very long respecting the big market share of the US market. But doesn’t worry OverclockersUK will restock every 2 weeks. Maybe they will keep orders online but will delay shipping to next restock.
Connected resellers like ComputerOrbit, Mindfactory s.o. that are not part of the Pro Gamers Group will get their stock from the resident holding member. So these shops are limited to the same resident holding member stock.
Stock situation:
Good luck to everyone

Stock situation:
- Caseking (EU customers) – good stock
- OverclockersUK - limited stock/restock every 10 days
- ComputerOrbit - stock relies on OverclockersUK
Good luck to everyone
Damn, I thought I was done spending on this build :-) Thanks for the info.
Dmitry from Hardware Canucks posted a YouTube Short for his upcoming C4-SFX review, just a little teaser. Link is here, can't embed shorts apparently.
I am looking forward to getting one of these to replace my giant lian li lancool III setups lol
I love how he calls the photos "renders"
/edit: the case looks really beautiful in the video. I hope the one I'm gonna pick up from Caseking next week has the cool reviewer note in it as well

OMG the space to get to the GPU release clip. That is the worst thing no matter how big the case is. Dan, that's a brilliant addition.
To be honest, my biggest concern at this point is...black or silver? Also, if it goes out of stock before I can get one. :/

Website says Q3. So, it could be July 1st or 30th Sept, if the plan goes accordingly.
How's the RMA experience for US purchases from OverclockersUK/ComputerOrbit? My only reluctance is the risk of possible QC issues. Some vendors have you ship back on your own dime, which can be cost prohibitive with overseas shipping of items this size/weight.
Newegg isn't exactly the shining beacon of customer service either, but I think they still might be the safer bet?
Trying to weigh out which is the better option -- importing the C4 or waiting for Newegg stock. The latter option also has the benefit of not being the very first wave of customers, in case there are first adopter or QC issues. I personally might just wait, since I don't need the case immediately.
I love the design of this case so much, I might end up grabbing both a black and a silver.
