June 22, 201115 yr Argh!!!! I've been waiting for 3 months for our suppliers to get this case in, and it appears the wait will be even longer. Is anyone willing to price me up shipping from Aussy / Elsewhere and send me one? Shipping estimates from US/UK companies are crazy, almost the price of the case.. Cheers
June 22, 201115 yr If you're desperate I can order one from tigerdirect and ship to you...I mean you would be paying for the cost of shipping and maybe a tiny bit for my time. Let me know, I am in NJ and get crap from tigerdirect in 1 day. Once I receive it I could drop off post office same day.
June 23, 201115 yr Shipping estimates from US/UK companies are crazy, almost the price of the case.. The problem here is that shipments by air will be charged either on the package weight, or a nominal weight which is calculated from the package's volume - whichever is higher. The problem with shipping a case is that you're paying an awful lot to ship the empty space inside the case! Now, if someone was prepared to dismantle the case and 'flat-pack' it ..... Otherwise, would you be prepared to wait for it to be delivered by sea?
July 9, 201114 yr Author Ended up ordering from Aussy. Turned out to be slightly cheaper And it has already shipped. You'll be seeing a new server on here soon! Woop woop!
July 19, 201114 yr Author Argh!!!! You wouldn't believe the issues I've had trying to get this damn case into NZ. I found a supplier in Australia, who had 32 in stock. I bought it and they shipped it. However, it has been 2 freakin' weeks and it still hasn't landed in NZ. It's in AUSTRALIA! Takes 4 days by boat. Are they sending it on a dingy? Pulling my hair out over this!!
July 19, 201114 yr Dingo-Express... It is strapped to the back of the pooch. I hope it can doggy paddle or else it will drown. .... dingo ate my server! ..... Sorry I could not resist.
July 20, 201114 yr Cheapest way for me to get hot swap bays + a nice looking case. That case appears to be in stock at quietpc.com in New Zealand at $193.69 NZD http://www.quietpc.com/nz-en-nzd/products/pc-cases/ms1000-hs2 Are these the same suppliers that have you waiting?

Yep - they're not based in NZ, but that's where I ordered it from. And what would you know, 20 days later it has finally arrived in NZ. Still has to get through customs though...
July 22, 201114 yr Weird...Last time I ordered from this particular quiet pc outfit, my parts were allegedly coming in from NZ (I'm in Australia). Now, I only use their .co.uk site, though I have no idea if it makes a difference. At least your new case is at customs now!

They must pool their stock levels throughout their branches. Looking forward to this case
