Fractal Design Define R3 + USB 3.0

[idee]

Hi everyone, new poster here. Researching for my first build, & will be sure to post anything I learn that might be of use to others.

I've chosen the Fractal Design Define R3 case. It seems like a popular one, so I thought some people might like to know that Fractal have just released a USB 3.0 upgrade kit for their Define R3 and Define XL cases. None in shops just yet, but they should be arriving any day now.

Here's the press release: http://www.fractal-design.com/index.php?view=product&prod=62

Having searched around on their UK distribution sites, it seems there's a USB 3.0 version of the case coming out soon too, although no official word on that as far as I've seen.

The upgrade kit is rumoured to be costing around £10 in the UK, and should be released any day now.

I myself have got the fractal design R3, is a brilliant case.
