After wondering for a long time (several months), we can finally purchase the Fractal Design Node 202 at US Retailers.

 

Newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352058&cm_re=node_202-_-11-352-058-_-Product

 

$79.99 w/o Integra 450W

$139.99 w/ Integra 450W

 

NCIXUS:

Same pricing as Newegg.

 

These are the only two retailers I checked besides Amazon, which did not have the Node 202 listed.

 

Exciting! I am thinking about getting one even though I just modded my SG05. I think the price is fair, although perhaps it could be around $10 cheaper.

Again, very exciting news for SFF Enthusiasts like me. This case has an even smaller size than my SG05!

Months after all of the reviews for it came out... Kind of pointless to send it to reviewers if you can't buy it amirite?

Where do you live? Here in the US we could not buy it until now, even with all of the reviews out.

Netherlands, couple of months back. Seems to be a lot more difficult to find here right now as well.

Ah, that explains it. What are your thoughts on the case? Easy to build in? Small? What would you compare it to show it's size?

If I were in the market for a new desktop, this would be my first choice. I LOVE small form factor cases! <3

Why is the God of Hyperdeath SO...DARN...CUTE!?

 

Also, if anyone has their mind corrupted by an anthropomorphic black latex bat, please let me know. I would like to join you.

Am I the only one more interested in new Mini versions of their Define and Arc series?

Probably. I don't like them because my SG05 is simply smaller, and the smaller, the better.

Oh man this would make an excellent home theater box. The only thing it needs is a spot for slimline blu-ray drive and it would be perfect for me.

well, the review said that the GPU temp in this thing is BAD, especially since the main selling point of this type of case is the ability to use a High Performance GPU

i would get the similarly priced SilverStone RVZ02 rather then this one.

It was probably the card they were using, this case has great GPU ventilation and an entire separate chamber. And I'd get the ML08, but it's way bigger than this case.

I gave them shit about it quite often and Fractal Josh finally said "Sorry, unforeseen circumstances got in the way" probably because it's the first time they were spec'ing an SFX power supply.

Will this fit a full size gpu, for instance, a titan x? 

 

I'll fit sure, but if it's not a titan make sure it is a blower style: it just doesn't has too much room to do open air coolers.

Yep.

I might have to upgrade from my current case. It's just such a pain in the ass to tear apart to replace anything.

Lol you're going to have to do the same with this case. Any small chassis goes together in a specific order and if you want to do something, you have to take apart the entire thing (on a lot of occasions).

Yes but the Asrock M8 is a whole different style of wicked. You have to remove a bunch of shit just to get to anything. This one looks way less complicated. I'm sure it will still be more difficult but not nearly as bad as the M8.
