We're working on getting more. Vortex failed to send the conical feet with the frames and 8 bags of hardware, so we're waiting on all of that to come in for the existing frames.
So once you receive the missing stuff, you will send them separately to the already ordered cases?
Correct
Looks like I did the right thing with an impulse buy - for once.
I am in the 500 draw? I know I haven't purchased a board, but I've spent pretty much the same money. (No worries if not.)
Yep, we're including these in the draw.
As for Sandblasted or Anodized...
Vortex claims they cases are BOTH Sandblasted and Anodized.
Also....
Ripster just posted on our Facebook page regarding these frames expressing some concerns over the design / construction ("The quality on these suck." - Ripster). The only real substance I can devolve from his Reddit link (
http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/14g76y/148_vortex_aluminum_shell_for_filco_tenkeyless/) was that Vortex should have used stand offs. It also sounds as though the frames that come with standoffs usually run around $300 from other suppliers. I'm trying to figure out if these cases are, indeed, crap (as Rip claims) or if this is simply another case of 'get what you pay for'. $150 for stand offs sounds steep to me. The only other criticisms I could find were related to how to more efficiently mill the aluminum (which relates to milling time / costs - not product quality).
If you purchased a case and could offer some input, it would be much appreciated!
