When is it coming to the us or should i just buy it from PChome for just $110?

I would just buy it from PCHome. With their relatively cheap shipping rates, you probably would pay about the same amount even if it were available in the US.

Just buy it now. PCHome's shipping is crazy fast. I might venture to say it's so fast it will make you freak.

This, too. It's amazing when you can get a package from China in about the same amount of time or faster than you can domestically.

Get it from PCHome, end the wait.

What switch type are you looking for? Blues will be available in about 2 weeks, reds in about 4.

There's a CM rep over at OCN who goes by the name "CMCarter" so this might be the same person. If that's the case then this is great news indeed. So U.S. will get blue switches first follow by reds.

I thought that the US wasn't supposed to get the CMStorm w/ reds?

Carter · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 22 November 2011, 13:03:52 »

We will be shipping blues for mass production. Following this, we have red boards also on the way which will sell exclusively through our CMStore. Followed by Browns shortly after.

What is the conversion rate at PChome, RMB to USD? Also, do the keys have Chinese/Japanese characters or are they standard boards?

How about Clears? Any chance of a board full of those?

Very possible, we are looking at all options. Based upon how well Red/Brown sell, we will be able to bring in all available switches.

Still dying to get my hands on a board full of greens. In love with that switch.

WAIT.

i thought i would let everyone know that a member of coolermaster has confirmed the cmstorm red version will be released outside of china in north america for sure. no additional comments were made on other region availability but USA and CANADA is getting it... a bit later by a month but we are getting it.. this was also confirmed via email stating that retailers and coolermaster's own site store would be offering this as well.

source was from member CMcarter - hardware rep for coolmaster @ overclock.net

Any confirmed prices on all the different switch types? I keep hear different things and hearing it straight from a rep would be nice.

Excellent! There are so few options in the clear switch market it's not even funny.

Yeah, I'm also curious about the greens. I wonder if they'd be like buckling spring boards, just with a higher activation point... You'd officially have the only board featuring them by the way, since they're currently only seen in blue board spacebars.

Nope, PChome is taiwan based and thus they are using New Taiwan Dollar(NTD) instead.

infamouskid · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 23 November 2011, 07:52:16 »

79.99 USD is the MSRP

PCHome does not do conversion and as previously mentioned they use New Taiwan Dollars. Use google or XE to get a close conversion rate. I'm sure that there's a paypal conversion rate calc out there somewhere too for their little fee additions.

That's a great deal.

I love my CMstorm in red's. THE biggest issue is the keycaps, which I've replaced already.
