I agree. I contacted them and received a brusk email that they did not sell outside of Japan and had no plans for any distributorships anywhere. Odd reponse I thought.

The guys on VR Forums from Singapore apparently have no problem getting them...except for their cost of about $500-700 USD. But shipping from Singapore would be $350 so once again you have the Thousand Dollar case syndrome.

As beautiful of cases as they are, i can not see myself spending that much. i can stomach 500-600, but definitely not double the cost. CD, you had it shipped here by someone visiting over there? Since you are the ONLY person i know that has the case, is it worth the premium in your eyes?

One thread is from March, one from late July and one from August. No one bough them yet I guess.

Seriously, Soldam could have easily kicked Lian-Li off the top with their awesome crazy cases. Everything inside is anodized!!! . Li-Li should take ideas from them.

Yes. I was not disappointed in any regard. In fact I hardly feel worthy of owning this case. I actually use it...a case like this should be in a pristine environment away from direct sun, dust, little fingers receiving weekly maintenance and an occasional polishing.

In my instance I have to assume that eventually the case will be damaged, little scratches from changing out hardware, perhaps there is a ding waiting to happen somewhere down the line...I have to live with that...

I got some additional parts with this case. Optional feet that decouple it, the NRS option (which is a heavy red sound mat on the outer panel that also traps dust from the REI), a shroud that runs the length of the back over the twin 90mm exhausts and partial shrouds the PSU, matching red cover plates for the front bays and exhasuts in the event you only want one fan or one optical you can better seal the case for noise, I got spare bayleaves (optical drive blanks), and a special removable frame that holds a pair of fans directly behind the HDD caddy. I think that's about it. It cost me just about $800 to get the case in hand. I figured I would only be able to do this once in my lifetime so I went for t.
