Posted October 19, 20168 yr Hey guys, Just wanted to share some information about the Streacom BC1 and the OBT Open Benchtable. The BC1 will be in retail by December (I think) and we'll update with links below. The main difference between the OBT and the BC1 is the traveler sleeve and the limited edition engraving. The BC1 is fully compatible with all the OBT mods/tools, so you don't have to worry about that. Will update the list when I find more time //17/02 Update: full list on the Open Benchtable website Stock - Open Benchtable :celebration: Edited February 17, 20178 yr by Massman

October 24, 20168 yr Yay, thats really good news, and makes it a lot easier as for VAT and import taxes.
October 26, 20168 yr Any idea if one of the US retailers will carry it? ie, PPCs? I would love one but the shipping is a bit much.
October 26, 20168 yr Author Based on the site information, Streacom is sold by 7 stores in the US (including Newegg): Where to Buy | Streacom I'd say maybe get in touch to see if they will carry the BC-1?
October 26, 20168 yr Members The price is far better, just a pity you can't get one of the limited edition versions from a local place to avoid the extra shipping and taxes
October 26, 20168 yr Author Maybe it would worth doing a group order of community editions from the UK? That'd save in shipping costs already.

January 28, 20178 yr Updated OP, 32 shops now Found one place to buy in US, has free shipping too https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5FY56T0002
February 10, 20178 yr Author Small update: we're working on finding a solution for Australia. Looks like the BC1 isn't getting to retail as easily as we had hoped. The OBT is completely sold out, but we're planning a new batch. More information soon
February 17, 20178 yr Author Small update, I will be adding the links on the openbenchtable website from now on: Stock - Open Benchtable
February 19, 20178 yr Being able to sort by country would be a nice feature, as some of the vendors listed have different websites for different countries, like say, Newegg.... Where it's available on the US side, but not Canadian.
June 8, 20177 yr Crew The stock is already back on Openbenchtable.com for the past weeks and shipping worldwide. If Newegg ordered a refill, that can take up to 3-4months depending on shipments.
September 20, 20177 yr A local retailer (Capital Computer Centre) in Hong Kong now sells the BC1 bench table. I do not know if this is a one time off arrangement (ie until inventory runs out) or a long term commitment. I visit the store today and see the store has about a dozen there. All 3 versions (silver, black and red) are available and they all sell at the same price (HK$ 999). Link:- Quotation
February 11, 20187 yr Bought a OBT Mini at a online retailer in the United Kingdom (quietpc.com), it has all the OBT versions in stock and can ship worldwide. https://www.quietpc.com/search?q=bench
