In that pic the GPU side panel wasn't installed, but I've since put it on. Also yep, great eye--it's a GON Nerd TKL! My bae.

Finally built, more beautiful than I could've imagined. It's basically the same size as the Razer Core I was using previously. Thank you Dan for all your hard work! Now I just gotta find a way to share peripherals without a dongle =p

Is yours stuck at "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece." as well ? I was also in the 17th batch, I believe this means it's waiting to ship until a shipping container is filled.

Got the same notification for LA. Can't wait!

What ram is that? I also have a z270 for my build, how do the RGB on the Mainboard look when the sidecover is on--do they shine through the grating?

Same here in California and saw the confirmation this morning!

Z270i Strix is in stock boys: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132954 Buy it before it sells out. =p (Days of googling sorted by date have paid off =p)

Hands on video on Z270i Strix: Can't wait!

Not going to do any OC period, main reason is dual m.2 ... The idea of having an A4 with no sata cables and less power cables is super appealing (the future!). Now just gotta wait for more benchmarks and decide whether to get a blower or open air.

For those in the US: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1314014-REG/asus_rog_strix_z270i_gaming_ntel_lga_1151_mini_itx_gaming.html First place I've seen the Strix z270i for pre-order. Just got one! Will cancel if Amazon / Newegg stock it sooner.

Just leaving this here for those anxious about GPU fits. Stole this from one of the German forums, but appears to be a Powercolor RX480 which is 310mm or 12.2''....pretty big card, I think the longest I've seen fit in the A4? Goes well over the recommended 295mm and even beyond the 303mm...

I'm leaning to this over the Strix for that reason. I feel like gen-2 VR headsets will benefit from TB3 / USB-C to reduce port requirements.

Maybe to early to know, but would using a mini 1070/1080 card (which creates more empty space) negatively affect temps?

Has anyone seen the Strix board on sale / preorder yet anywhere? Same w/ the Fatal1ty.

I almost bought a Zotac En1070 out of impatience last night, but I'm glad I talked myself out of it. Only a couple of weeks left!!! I'm going to attempt to Vinly Wrap my case in white to match my setup.
