Where is SPELLBORN already?

My constant trolling over on the Chronicles of Spellborn forums have as yet revealed no news about any North American release. They are supposed to be on the verge of open beta, and to have signed a letter of intent months ago with an unnamed US publisher (my guess, again: Aeria Games).

However, the Spellborn computer they collaborated with German PC makers Ultraforce on earlier this year, they are now releasing case-only, in case you’re not jazzed about the computer they had, but loved their case. 249 Euros, so US$384, probably closer to US$500 when all shipping and customs fees are paid, which is pretty expensive just for a case. Just not worth it to buy things from Europe when you live in the US any more.
