~2mm

According to their website, the frame is 2.63 mm and the panels and some

other thinner parts are 1.5 mm if I recall correctly. They seem to have

updated their product descriptions and removed that info, but it's probably

a good bet that they still stick with those two thicknesses (at least for

the most part, and I haven't heard anything on their forums or from other

users about that having been changed).

Either way, their cases are sturdy as hell. :wub:

EDIT:

Found the info again, see below.

Ah, found it, it appears my memory got some numbers mixed up. :D

Our cases are manufactured using only heavy gauge all aluminum construction. Unlike some imports using thin .040'' (1mm) aluminum, our cases are made from .090” (2.3mm) for the frame and .063” (1.6mm) for the doors and exterior covers. The Mercury side covers are made from .050'' (1.3mm). This heavy gauge material creates a case that can stand up to the rigors of large scale water cooling and frequent system tear-downs. Aluminum is much lighter than steel, dissipates heat better, and is easier to mod.

Update:

 

I got a lot done today, but not in time to take some pictures outside in the light. The ones I got are pretty bad, but good enough. 

 

I got the reservoir and pump mounted (finalish), the top rad and, motherboard, and GPUs. I just can't figure out how the radiator mount in the front works :/

Just email them with your order, they'll let you know how much

shipping is. There isn't really anything special you need to do.

At least that's how it worked when I ordered my case, maybe

they've slightly changed it by now. Either way, I'm sure they'll

tell you if you shoot them a message.

As for cost, shipping my SMH10 to Switzerland flat-packed

was 150 USD, so presumably an SM8 would be a tad less expensive

as it's smaller.
