I was going to cancel my pre order but didn't. But now I'm kind of irritated because we were told that orders would ship in the order they were received. I placed my order in the first 5 minutes of the pre-order and I'm seeing people say that they have tracking information that purchased theirs 2 or more days after mine. I love EVGA, but they screwed the pooch on this one.

I'd have to agree. It is kind of frustrating to be waiting for a month and a half (2 months for some) and see that people who've only been waiting 3 and a half weeks get theirs shipped first.

Might be some shipping centres still don't have a stock of the cases by now.
So ppl. who ordered later might be served earlier based on their location.

Why Yes EVGA... Care to explain this ?  Jacob ?
I could see a lawsuit involved when you tell your customers one thing, then do something else.
I mean you say its 4 gigs of memory... then find out its only really 3.5 gigs.  At least i think thats how Nvidia would recall it starting.

You are the worst kind of customer.

First off, you have no legal basis. You were not charged until the unit shipped, don't go spouting off lawsuit nonsense, you just look ignorant in doing so.

I am sure the case will be getting out to those that preordered this week, the first round of shipments were probably from different distributor centers.

I'm feeling the same way but maybe they are doing it in alphabetical order by first name?  I ordered mine minutes after they opened.  I wish I ordered two DG-87 though in the first place instead of ordering the DG-86 a few days after.  I ended up cancelling the DG-86 since I didn't get responses on any of my questions about it.  Good for you guys that are getting it earlier than me.  I'm not really irritated since I'm sure EVGA is extremely busy getting this out there and I'm sure they prefer to get everyone's orders shipped.  Excited that it's this close though!  I hope it's another quality product from EVGA.  If anyone is local to 90805 and pre-ordered a DG-87 and decided that they don't like the case I'll take it off your hands and pay you for the pre-order price + shipping.
 
 
Edit:  I remember why I didn't order two in the first place, it's cause initially it was limit 1 per household and later changed.

huzzah! order has been processed and awaiting UPS pickup.

I wonder why there's no mention of the USB 3.1 connection in the manual.. is it just part of the USB 3.0 header? If so that would kinda suck. Kinda want to know so I can get a usb 3.1 card, if needed.

Because the manual is wrong and incorrect in places.

HAHA, I couldn't agree with you more.... I came to the forums on a daily basis to read the whining about 1080 FTW stock and preorders and now, I get a repeat for this case. I was told if I preordered, the case would ship in August and when it did, my card I provided to preorder would be charged and I would receive an email notification when it shipped. 10-days into August, that is exactly what happened.
 
There are 4 versions of this case offered so each has a preorder line and just in that regard, I might receive my DG-86 I ordered before your DG-87 depending on how many preorders of each they got and how many are coming in each day. So my advice is just to relax and wait for them to ship your case. If Sept 1st rolls around and you haven't received a shipping notification, complain then.
 
The only concern now is hoping UPS doesn't damage the case as they are not too careful with the heavier packages...

woojyee

We share a common concern lmao! However all these complaints are brought on by lack of information on EVGA's part but it's not there fault !

Like I said before I have yet to receive a email from Evga but I seen my credit card was charged the amount I knew was my case so I checked my member area for my pending orders and seen I have a completed when I clicked that I got my shipping info .

Now with that said lets talk about the real elephant in the room !

The preview models shipped to reviewers , what did we see like 2-3 overviews and maybe 1 in depth written review ? How many reviewers out there stuck it to Evga for them to ship a 200 dollar case to , only to get such small and uninformative overviews / reviews ?

To you Jacob : most of the Evga fans would have done a better job reviewing this case if given the chance yet your company relies on high traffic you tubers , twitch trolls and tech sites ... Next time try the community....

I doubt jayz2cents will even review this case by the time a majority have it. And Paul's hardware has not even mentioned this case ! Sad !!!

I been here waiting for this case since the countdown started , and to see such weak reviews on this product is nerve racking !

None of the reviews in English were very helpfull, and the non-English ones had more info but were confusing when translated. I really hate this trend toward youtube only reviews. They are generally not very good and rarely get anywhere close to in depth website reviews.

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.

Sorry for the double posting I dunno what's going on

But from Anaheim California to London is 5439 miles that's a long ways off !

sourmonkeyBut from Anaheim California to London is 5439 miles that's a long ways off !

Who said these things were made in america though?

 
 anything else you want to know?

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
