I think you have to resubmit your NO request for the new SKU and that means you get today's time/date no?

Huh?

I guess I’m a little out of the loop. Is there a new sku being announced soon?

Go figure, 6 days after I broke down and bought a laptop with a 3070 I finally come up on the queue. Right when my desperation wanes the email arrives. Still good as my desktop has been sitting without a GPU for almost a month now (sold my old card).
 
Thanks everyone for the comradery in keeping me somewhat sane as we all suffered together. My watch might be over but I'll pop by and now someone is one spot closer.
 
Good luck and god speed all!

I don't know lian li.  But people keep talking about it.  Educate me.

They used to be famous for their well-designed and attractive aluminum cases that were also generally on the expensive side. Now, they have gone to using materials less expensive than aluminum, but the attention to detail and quality manufacturing are still there. I'm sitting next to a small build I made with a $69.99 Lian Li case that they designed exclusively for Microcenter. It is fairly compact, has a nice tempered glass window, and excellent cooling performance. I also lucked out and got a set of those Lian Li fans that snap together, and they are nothing short of magic. It does WONDERS for cable management in your case. The fans are beautiful, shrouded in metal, and attractive with RGB turned on or off. They also happen to move good amounts of air. The reason they are sold out everywhere is because they are significantly cheaper than similar fan sets, like Corsair for example, but they make no apparent compromises. To combat this, many retailers have raised the asking price on the fans to $150-160 despite the MSRP of $100 (for the 3 pack with the included addressable fan controller). Sound familiar? 
 
Anyways, poor products with Lian Li's name on them are few and far between. They are generally worthy of the talk and praise they get from people. My next move is going to be from an old Rosewill case that is enormous and quite long in the tooth (technologically speaking) to something with tempered glass and hopefully understated simple looks that don't detract from the PC's innards. My list of cases has been shortened to only two brands - Lian Li or Fractal Design. Their attention to detail and attractive pricing are an absolute winning combination. NZXT is excellent on looks, but many of their most popular cases sacrifice thermals for looks. Thermaltake makes some beautiful cases and they make some cases with excellent thermal performance, but they often overlook things and deliver not-quite-finished products to market. Corsair is solid, and normally there would be a Corsair case on my short list, but they were narrowly cut. Antec used to be great, but I haven't built or spent time personally with any of their current cases. Zalman is good with cooling and definitely priced for the budget builder, but they lack the attention to detail and design finesse of Lian Li and Fractal Design. Asus has some new ROG gaming oriented cases, and they are extremely well-made and solid, but they have that modern gamer "transformer" look. It's like the Civic Type R of PC cases. I am very faithful to Asus for their generally awesome motherboards and friendly BIOSes, but their PC cases are a little over the top for me.
 
Plenty of other good brands out there, but Lian Li has a reputation that they have worked hard to earn. They continue to care about the products they put out, and it shows.
