UK here and no email or ship date yet but my account has been updated with shipping costs and they are an incredibly reasonable €13.99.
 
That's about £167 in total.
 
Very happy with that.

I ordered in the first 10 minutes of it becoming available, so my ticket should be right up there. Still nothing..
Did my order get cheesed by Americans or something? Haven't seen any Euro confirmed shipping yet.
 
My order did get updated though, its got appropriate shipping costs now (12 bucks, not too bad).
Didnt get charged yet or got sent any confirmation emails though, had to come here and find out myself.
 
I gotta say, pre-sale customer support is a bit miffy with EVGA.
They are treating us like mushrooms (kept in the dark).


Will take some time transporting this to the UK , more so than America

I wonder how can they charge me $30 to ship it from Anaheim to San jose which is only 300 miles away but it only cost 13 pound for some people to get it ship to Europe.

First impressions:
 
Fairly hard to pick up obviously due to the weight but mostly due to lack of any good handling. I would gather that to be an aesthetic choice. Probably wouldn't move it with everything installed.
 
It's slightly longer and deeper than my blackhawk ultra case that I use now, and hate. Worst case I've ever owned. And my impressions may be more positive due to the fact that anything is better than that case.
 
Fit and finish is nice!, front door rattles when moving the case, could use some foam or felt tape in the gaps.
 
Top power button is pretty squishy  with too much resistance, bottom buttons are nice. Since mine will be a desk build, I don't see me ever using top buttons anyway.
 
In answering my own question earlier about the usb type c port, it looks like it leeches off of the usb 3.0 header. I could be wrong since I am not familiar in how you interface with type c in a case from MoBo
 
Doesn't come with a hard copy of the manual. No biggie
 
Wish I could take off work tomorrow, cuz I'd be ripping this pc apart and installing! 
 
This was a good purchase, I see this case going with me for quite a few builds, or until something better comes along. Nice work EVGA! Looks better in person!
 
My sr-x build lives on to a better home!
 
EDIT: Wish it had wheels, or as an option

Different rates for various countries. I have a promotional products company and we sell dog togs, silicone wristbands and lanyards... ect. My production manager in China packages 4000 silicone wristbands per box, roughly 45 pounds. It is cheaper for him to send them to me UPS 2nd day international expedited from China than it is for me to send that same box UPS ground to addresses in the USA. Although, I recently noticed his labels say 10kg.... about half the weight these boxes actually are...
