    I'm looking for a desktop replacement and thought I was pretty set on the Z96J, but someone mentioned the C90 to me and said it would be coming out "soon". I tried searching on here, but I only found a couple threads with even a mention of the C90, and the one with links was a dead end. So just how soon is soon? The desktop core sounds interesting, but I can't find any other information on specs or price.

    Information regarding this barebone is extremely limited, i'm sure you've seen this thread.

    I suggest you wait 2 weeks if you can, to see if any new news comes up regarding this notebook. How long are you able to wait? Also do you prefer the styling of the C90 or the Z96j?

    Ah, definitely longer than I can wait. I wasn't sure if this was going to be quietly dropping in a few weeks or much farther out. Seems to be the latter.

    Incidentally, not sure what to think the C90. The picture isn't that great and the external battery tube is kind of ugly, but I do like the finish over the plain silver plastic of the current whitebox models.
