Do I need an EVGA motherboard to get all benefits of this case ? as I have a brand new ASUS x99 motherboard.
You can use any motherboard. Windows is nicely build and I recommend DG-86 or DG-87. DG-86 is very nice.

Claymore_4I do not agree , a hard drive is Subjected to more risks, I have +100 blu ray disc dating from 2010 who lost no data
they are archived in separate pockets for a very good protect, i have 5 hard disk die from 2010-2016.
you make money from the optical drive with time. optical drives only "MAKE" you money when you sell content you burn. also if you have over 100 BD's just sitting around, when was the last time you actually found a reasonable need to go to them for that old data? the only real use for BD's are for storing family videos and pics for archival purposes. everything else can be recreated or redownloaded or small enough to easily scatter across multiple drives, usb flash included, and online free storage. (google, dropbox, ect)

I just use a NAS in Raid 10 for back up of pics and videos and also have them on another HD just in case.
I only use bluray to rip my blurays and put them on my NAS for streaming so getting an external BR drive is cool with me.

@Jacob
Any chance EVGA cuts us a break on domestic US shipping? I don't see the point of pre-ordering when I can probably still get it cheaper locally or with free shipping from Newegg/Amazon with Prime/Premier/Shoprunner.....

Putting together a rough estimate using FedEx and UPS (going off of weight and box dims on the pre-order page) - this seems to be in line with what "actual" shipping costs would be for a standard consumer. Due to sheer volume Amazon and Newegg get much lower shipping costs negotiated and why they can offer what they do... That said one would assume that EVGA would have some sort of volume discount with the carriers to get reduced price shipping and would in-turn pass this on to the customer.

Im sure the sheer number of preorders should allow for one of the shippers to give them a bulk rate. Just send a truck, and ship the preorders all at once !

That is what $50 discount is for. THe retail price of DG87 after preorder promotion is $230. If you wait for this case show up at Newegg or other retailers, you will have to pay original price + tax + shipping and it would exceed $230. For now, I save $7 from retail price by doing preorder.

Amazon/Newegg doesn't collect taxes on every customer. If the case was a Prime product on Amazon, Prime members would receive 2day free shipping on it.

I don't pay tax at either one luckily! Amazon/Newegg generally don't charge MSRP for long after a product is put out either. EVGA_JacobF

At least thats a start.... Except for those of us that live in the middle of the country. We have 2 directions to get bent over from for shipping LOL.

It will be open for a bit longer, but we will fufill the preorders in the order that they are placed.
Also we have opened it up to allow more than 1 unit for preordering for those looking to get more than one.

It would be kind of cool to know how many were preordered. But I'm sure thats information that EVGA wouldn't release.

For those that asked about radiator thickness support, it can support 60mm thickness radiators.

You can use any motherboard.
Windows is nicely build and I recommend DG-86 or DG-87.
DG-86 is very nice.
I thought about the DG-86 for the "Darker" look. Went with the DG-87 for the extra resale value... if needed.

Im interested in wether a radiator can be affixed to the top of the frame, with fans mounted under the frame. Thanks Jacob !

Any chance of getting an update as to preordering for New Zealand. Using the AU page I am told that my region is not one that can be shipped to, thus, I can't complete a preorder.

I am Canadian (in Ontario) - I currently listed my DG-87 to be shipped to an American address for me to drive and pick up - is your new listing of Toronto as a hub going to dramatically change the price of your Canadian shipping options? When I had my Canadian address listed for the estimate in pre-order my only options were insane $187 USD and $200+ expedited to get the case to my Canadian address. thanks for info

Oh, neat'o! Distribution center is in my country! So I guess its safe to assume my shipping costs would be €14,90 ? http://www.postnl.nl/tarieven/tarieven-pakketten/Parcels up to 30kg, insured up to 500 euro. Should do nicely. ;)

Jacob, Are you guys working on a tiny storefront at some point? it's costing me 25 bucks and I'm only a city away from you guys. I often get discouraged on ordering from evga directly because of shipping.

Awesome thanks for the update on shipping too, $25-30 or less would be ideal, the $48 for 3-5 day ground is what I would pay if I walked into UPS or USPS. Also, if we pre-order now, we can still cancel before it ships right? Will totally depend on shipping prices for me.
