I've been seeing a lot about the DF-85 and Lanboy Air cases that Antec releasing this year, but there isn't a whole lot of information to match up with the pictures/previews. I'm hoping that someone here either has some connections, or at least reads more sites than I do and can answer a few questions.

1) What are the dimensions of these cases?

2) What are the maxium graphics card sizes for the new cases? (DF-85, DF-30, Lanboy Air)

3) Which of them accept the Antec CPX series PSUs?

4) Are there estimated prices for these cases yet?

5) When are they due to be released?

The last one I'm really confused about, because it seems that every time I see some information about these cases, there's someone saying "They should be out next month", but from 2-3 months ago! I really hope the Dark Fleet series doesn't end up the Duke Nukem Forever of hardware.


On a related note, one of the articles I saw from CES2010 mentioned that there might be a CP-1250 or similar output PSU coming out alongside the new cases, is this just idle speculation?

The Lanboy Air looks pretty badass. Too bad I already bought an Antec 1200 a couple days ago.
