Not sure if this has been posted before or not, but once they do start shipping completed boards, can the mainboards be purchased alone, or do you have to buy the entire completed machine? (I would like to build my own with a custom case...)
If it makes a real difference to you in getting an X1000, I might be able to buy the case & PSU from your X1000 so you can put it into a different case. I might want to put an A4000D into it, if it doesn't require too much difficult modifications to make it fit and work properly. That probably won't work for you though, if you are just trying to get a reduced cost X1000.
