And the price from the US store with the 4GB of ram has increased by 2.36% from last week because of the exchange rates.

@BozzerBigD

Probable hold up in supplying complete systems may be the issue with some sound cards .

Both pciex1 versions of CMI8738 and Envy24ht can have a version of a bridge chip that can cause problems.

I have had a pair on preorder from AmigaKit since mid January this year.
So maybe their supply dried up.

The  authorized resellers actually assemble their own machines and source their own cases .

It just seems wrong that the X5000 is put together and shipped from the UK but the UK customers are kept in the dark about availability and IMHO suppliers overseas provide a far better idea of when units will be in stock. Yet UK customers are 'supposed' to buy off Amigakit but the stock/availibility isn't even listed on the website. Sad.

I doubt that it is a strategy .
It probably based on certain realities.
So there may never be a "standard" X5000 system.
What you buy from one dealer could have a different model case or even someone else purchasing at a later date from the same dealer as you see with Amiga on the Lake.
A "Powered by Cyrus" logo sticker may be what is needs to included with every Cyrus motherboard.

Those of us who can source and assemble our own systems can get on with it. Those who cant will have to wait until the prebuilt systems are available. It is best to try not to focus your frustration on Amigakit without knowing the actual reason.

Yeah, I know. They seem to be able to inform their customers of limited supply runs despite a lack of Fractal cases and the fact the boards ship from the UK. Why are Amigakit unable to build up a supply of assembled systems? It is probably because its easier to ship out the boards to resellers thereby quicky recouping costs and not having to divert resources to time consuming system building and testing. None of this makes it right for UK customers who miss out due to this strategy.

@eliyahu

It might be wise for Amigakit  to made some reference as to whether a sound card is also included in the System description .

Why? What's wrong with the on board sound?
