By the way, the cases are almost done (!)—well ahead of schedule. Machining is likely to be done tomorrow, and then anodizing next week, barring unforeseen problems (and when aren't there any.)
I think I'm maybe going to use the extra time to get some custom boxes and packaging made so that they'll be well protected during shipment. With any luck, stuff should hopefully be shipping out around the beginning of next month, still nicely ahead of schedule.
