When I saw the launch price I was actually surprised they got it below $1000. I looked through all of the configurations available and was pretty much sold before realizing I needed to measure my vertical space. Fortunately for my wallet there wasn't enough room, but the possibly layouts are just amazing. I hope this does really well for Silverstone as I think there's room for them to make a slightly smaller one, or perhaps a version that leverages depth instead of height.

Unfortunately for mine, my vertical space isn't limited. But I'm certain this case is going to last me at least a decade so it'll be good value!

The only thing I'm not sure about is it looks like the front panel connectors are behind both the door and the dust filter.

I was also looking at it as a long term likely multiple system (I usually swap case when doing new platform) investment.

Yeah they're located behind the door so you wouldn't be able to use them for anything that sticks out without leaving the door open. That is the only downside I could find which would give me any pause. I realized that since I switched to an external sound card the only thing I ever plug in are USB drives which is always temporary. I've also used USB extension cables from the back before when I had a closed case front so I wouldn't mind doing so again.

And where do we buy them? I'm not seeing them anywhere in Canada....

Silverstone tends to have limited NA availability especially on the low volume parts. The only place I'm aware of them being available in the US is Amazon.
