I’m currently in pre production and at 10 working days. What’s everyone’s thoughts on when it might be ready to ship. Everything is in stock etc.

It does allow you to tweak the build :) So far after reading about NVMe SSD drives, PSUs & volume levels, AIOs, RAM, overclocking etc.. I've tweaked my way to spending an extra £500. I'm at peak spend now. I think. Unless an acceptable 'budget' graphics card drops or processor prices shift substantially.

Just checked. It is currently being built. Pre-production 7 January. Build 18th (10:04am). Hooray!

Testing & configuration began at 13:21.

Awaiting dispatch 21:21!

Dispatched 19th 11:02 am

Mine arrived this morning. I've spent the day cutting cable ties, adding a fan and vertically rotating the AIO (so that the in/out to the radiator is at the bottom (pump is not the highest part of the system)). Mostly though I've been trying to reconcile ASUS motherboard AOI instructions for connections with those of Corsair (just plug everything into "Commander Core" then plug that into a USB header). The exhaust fan was plugged into the motherboard so I've re-routed that to Corsairs controller too. No idea if this is right. I'll do a bit more searching and try booting tomorrow. I can't face Welcome to Windows today.

You sent in your own case right? Pics in the Show off your system forum would be great to see.

Once I know it is working correctly post tinkering/checking I'll post. I took before and after shots. I was a bit worried before I opened it up as it had an intermittent rattle. I thought probably a loose screw, however, it turned out it was a cut cable tie. It was intermittent as it was in the powerlead jungle and would hook itself to cables from time to time.
