Got my email too - will there be tax on arrival in SA? My brother is coming out in 6 weeks from UK so if so I'd rather have it sent to him.
You might wait more than six weeks before it is shipped, so I wouldn't go that way if I were you.

Placed my order today! YAY.
I didn't buy a chassis - but I do have access to a 3D printer! Anyone have plans for a Pi Chassis I can download and print?
So far I've found the following - but I can't find any proof it was tested. Anyone know of a tested chassis?

Whoah! did you say 3D printer? What kind of cost would you be talking for a 3D generated Chassis? Talk about double cool - a Raspberry Pi in a 3D printed Chassis

Can we place orders?
Sure. I guess, depending on if anyone wants to create me the autocad design etc... I'll even ship that person a free case in trade
I can't design ****, but I can print it. Let me know.

Found some 3D case designs on Thingyverse.

Any input on them? I'm thinking of printing one this week - could upload pics etc if enough interest.

Combining the Maykey maykey can add some interesting uses for the Raspberry.

Thanks Tacet. I confirmed dates with my bro and
it is a no-go so I finally placed the order today. A week late but anyhow - I wanted to make sure of my timing. The wait begins...I had $6 in my PayPal so I bought in $ and had to cough up another $37. Total of $43.

Ordered mine yesterday, coughed up £26.55 and it says estimated within 7 weeks 
A friend of mine also registered a couple of days after me, he is still waiting for the activation code, so I guess I should count myself lucky.
I think i might mount it to the back of my wall mounted tv and get a mini keyboard and mouse for browsing thee interwebz from bed.
