I'm disappointed that the fan controller appears to be voltage controlled instead of pwm controlled. The trend is towards pwm control on most new motherboards these days especially high end ones. I would really be happy to pay up up for a solid pwm fan controller, but the best I've found is a pwm splitter.

So I noticed its now august.
Still no shipping date though, nor any confirmed shipping costs.
How long are you gonna dangle this thing, EVGA?
 
Surely, my gunmetal DG-87 will be delivered with free shipping tomorrow, right?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but does this case come with motherboard standoffs? I haven't seen them in any of the "included hardware" pictures, and according to the product manual, they're not included? I thought standoffs were a standard inclusion for cases?

Its not PWM controlled? Thats a bit surprising considering the price.
I was hoping to get a nice USB controlled PWM and sensor board.
I guess ill just use my motherboard headers to control everything.

The review in German said that the fan controller starts out at 45% at start and can ramp back down to 3.3volts. So if your fan can run that way, it has a wider range than most controllers. I haven't seen any pwm fan controllers sans motherboard ones. You'd think a simple pwm circuit would be a cakewalk for a high-end GPU company that also makes full pwm fan header motherboards. Cone on Jacob, put that in the product mix. Your ACX fans are already pwm aren't they?

I've got to assume they're included - it would be a first if they don't...  Heck they've even got a picture of standoffs in the maunal - but they appear to be mislabeled as hex bolts to connect the HDD.  Just like the "45 pcs PH Screw #6-32" that "Connects to an AC power soruce" - I don't know that I have 45 outlets around the house and I also am not sure that I want to be putting screws in them...

If you look closely it seems there are built in standoffs
