This post has some pre-order spots. 139.99 for black and 149.99 for white (US).

I feel that, once you're in an eco system sometimes it makes sense to stay that way

I do not believe it is - in fact when you build in it in the manual I think they recommend you not take the front glass off unless you really have to.

There are two modes, high and low for the motherboard. I agree it would look nicer a bit higher up but I put it in low mode so I could accommodate two exhaust fans in the back. The bottom and radiator are both intake and one exhaust felt like it would be pushing it.

The bottom fans are reverse fans so they are intake. Before switching cases I had my radiator fans doing exhaust because it's prettier but because there is no ability for a top fan here I wanted to make sure the CPU stayed nice and cool and so I switched the radiator fans to intake. There are now reverse-blade version of the infinity in 140s so that's why those show the back but the bottom do not - the bottom are 120s.

The only exhaust in this build right now is the back which is why I chose to mount in "low mode" so I could have two. Still I've got more intake than exhaust which is better than the inverse.

lol pretty much - I think it's fun but I also really love seeing someone's setup that leans hard on natural wood instead. Those are also lovely.

My very unscientific measurement has the height at 462mm so 20mm higher than the 011D
