I don’t know where you guys get your patience from?
-The DA2 is fast becoming a joke we have now been told another two weeks, till delivery-since Steamcom kindly left my country New Zealand off the list to sell there cases...seriously WTF?
I have to order from UK and pay more than any other country for my case all up its going to cost $550 NZD(about 225GBP) because scorptech won’t ship across the ditch because there lazy.
Understand that delays can happen but the communication from streamcom to its suppliers(Quiet PC UK)and customers is just terrible, we waited 14 days and then all of a sudden another 15 days....zero apologies, zero consideration for loyal customers who have paid up front...these cases better be better than good.
Loque Ghost is looking mighty good at the moment at least they get there cases out to people who have paid for them!
Streamcom need to sort there production times out, not impressed.
I received my review sample today (in NZ no less @BLooDYwOLVeS )
I waited far too long and now I got a hand of a ghost louqe instead.
I belivie there has been too much false hope in this thread from streacom about "shipping very soon!" type of info which has not been correct...
For anyone looking for a case like this then ghost louqe has their second batch coming up in january for shipments. I suspect anyone preordering from them will actually get their cases before this streacom case ships anyway..
Im sorry to say that I must agree with basically everything you said..
The delays cost me big problems. I emailed quietPC about a month ago and asked them if I could preorder without having money reserved from my card, and they told me no but they have many cases coming so it doesnt look like preorder is necessary to get a case early..
Well since I really wanted a case I pre-ordered anyway.. Then after second delay I cancle and I lose about 15 pounds in convertion fee to my original payment.. Sure its not anybodys fault here and thats the way it is but sitll annoying since Im not getting any case, I waited far too long and now I got a hand of a ghost louqe instead.

So how long until a review?
Te internal layout of the DA2 is quite different from the Louqe Ghost. So, it is hard to compare the two. It is like comparing an apple to an orange. If both suit you, then it is good.
However, if you are switching because of 'delay' issue, I am a little surprised that you choose a Ghost. I mean, my casual reading of the Ghost thread seems to tell me that the first batch has experienced many times of 'delay', much worse than what is happening with the DA2. Even now, there are still buyers of the first batch who have not received their unit. So, if history indicates anything, I really suggest you to have some expectation of delay for the second batch as well.
When you are done with testing with an AIO, would you please also do an air cooler? Say, NH-U9S or NH-D9L.
Can get some real component density in this case!

I am interested in the black case, is it delayed too?We informed that the DA2 would ship soon by airshipments, and that is the correct information, as we worked hard to solve the issues with the Silver cases and we are now again anodizing the cases and are expecting to have some airshipments next week. Please also understand that we cannot only ship black cases by air to our customers as the freight charges would be enormous.

awesome! please tell me it's planned also a test with a 280mm rad

Thanks.
Edit 1
And please measure the absolute height clearance for an air-cooler.
Spec says 145mm max but there maybe a few mm spare?

This is also the date shown in QuietPC UK.Oh man, those pics from @confusis look the goods. My current ETA from the supplier is the 12th of December (this is for black).
