Folks,

I finally got a quote from the factory today for the run of 
production P3 cases.
I can confirm the EU price for complete, ready-built units will be 
450 ukp plus shipping.
For US customers, Shawn Cleary of http://www.analoguehaven.com will 
be handling P3 sales for me, and will set the final price himself.
I've already discussed pricing with Shawn, and taking various 
factors into account, his price wont be much more than you would 
have to pay for me to ship one directly, but without the worry of 
customs fees, international money transfer etc.

Those of you waiting for kits, I'd be interested to hear whether 
you'd prefer:

a) a PCB/CPU kit only
b) a PCB/CPU kit plus a full set of keys
c) a PCB/CPU kit, full set of keys and pro case

Pricing for the PCB/CPU kits should be the same as previous runs - 
around 85 ukp.
The set of keys will add 40 ukp. The case will add another 120 ukp.

My next step will be to order a single case as an engineering sample.
To keep the price of the cases down, I need to make quite a large 
order, so I need to be sure it's exactly right.
The lead times I was quoted originally were very good, but given 
their rather poor speed at coming up with the quote, I guess it 
could be anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks until I have cases.
In the meantime, there is a mock-up of how the final case will look 
here:

Remember the keys will be a set of these:

Note the lack of screws on the front panel (replaced with concealed 
press-fit standoffs), and the detachable rack ears. Wooden end 
cheeks will also be supplied.
The graphics on the front and rear panels will be silk-screened, 
though I'm yet to finalise the artwork for that. It could maybe do 
with some more lines and shit... suggestions welcome.
The bottom part of the case will be a great improvement, there are 
some 3d model images here:

The actual rear cases will be black, but that doesn't show up too 
well.
Note the recessed rear connectors - it will be rackmountable without 
losing an extra space for the cables.

I'll keep you posted on progress.

Cheers,
Colin f
