Is the DG86 a black colored case? I know the DG87 is that silverish gun metal, but in the promo stuff it looks like the 86 is black - Is it actually black ,or just an odd rendering?

It looks black to me.. i know the only different color of the DG Series is the 87 Gun Metal Grey.

If you look under: Support -> Product Manuals -> EVGA Cases -> EVGA DG-8, on page 7 it says, "... control hub in the case which supports 6 3pin fans" 

The manual looks to be incomplete.. also i think EVGA needs a new proof reader.

I hope you're right, wouldn't want my noctua fans to go to waste.

Sadly from personal experience, most fan controllers accommodate 4pin fan connectors but really only use the 3pins for each one.

Hopefully that isn't correct. It would be stupid for a case that is advertised to accommodate 8 fans and a fan controller, but not able to control all the fans.

so we got a confirmation that it's not an actual pwm controller since it's only a 3 pin?

If your offering that many fans, you should make sure you have a hub that can support them all.
Also the manual states something about some hardware screws used to connect to a power supply.. so i know some of it is incorrect.

If you read the manual they posted recently it states that the fan headers are rated to 1 amp. But it doesn't say if there are 2, or 3 headers, or 3pin or 4pin, just intake and exhaust. If there are only 2 headers then you'll typically be limited to 4 fans per header. So if you max out all fans on the case you will most likely have to use the motherboard for the left 2 fans.

All preorders are planned to ship within 1-2 weeks. Will continue to provide updates as we get closer.

So were about 1 day short of the one week mark. So looks like all cases will be shipped within the next 8 days ?
