We generally use Cooler Master MicroATX / Mini Towers for our end user builds, here recently I have been having an extremely difficult time locating their towers from our wholesale vendors, and even most e-tailers.
Has anyone heard anything about some sort of channel / market shortage for products in their mini tower line?
Namely speaking about the Elite 241, Elite 340, Elite 342, Elite 344 series, we like using these in our shop because of the reasonable cost, build quality, and the aesthetics (cheap but don't look like shit), but it is beginning to look more and more that I will have find another solution as far as a chassis is concerned.
Waiting till their live support comes online and hope I get a answer there, but decided to throw the question up here as well.
The only thing I can find is that "Our US Warehouse is currently experiencing shipping delays." but is not very descriptive on what that is related to.
*edit*
Also I am in the Houston, TX area.

After a web chat with a CM rep it appears the entire Elite series will be going away, this is a huge disappointment if that is indeed true, and will take a huge selection away from their Mini Towers if that is the case.
When asked if there will be a replacement for the elite series, I was told explicitly: "The Company is moving toward producing higher end product so I do not believe they will be coming out with a new elite series."
