I totally get that Wahaha et al have been posting up from concept to today about the Evo, but to be honest until you lay down cash to buy you're not really waiting for a product, more eagerly anticipating. I just quoted you because you made it sound like you'd layed out money a year ago, when in reality it was July, so 3 months.
It made it sound like cash had exchanged hands a year ago, when in truth an indy company is designing, coping with a new GPU release of insane dimensions, redesigning and then trying to source (and wait in a queue) and have manufactured components made to a standard that isn't going to bite them through returns due to duff manufacturing (which has happened in many SFF case releases). They opened the IC payment 3 months ago no doubt to help with getting the parts manufactured and shipped. To be fair to them, I think they've been reasonably open about their process (unlike many other cases manu's), including delays.
Even people involved with larger case manufacturer companies sush as a recent funghi-based mesh-orientated 14.97 litre case had supply issues leading to a good 6 month delay from payment.
Honestly, I'm not having a pop, but it's standard in the SFF case world to not hear anything, hand over money, not hear anything for a year and then get something that's not fit for purpose. I'd (personal choice, so you totally have a right to your own choice) rather wait a small while and get something I'm happy with and be told there's delays.
