Anyone want to sell me a MiSTer?

Not got one for sale but the multisystem pre-orders opened up again today: MiSTer Multisystem
You’d also need a DE-10 Nano and they look to be out of stock on Digikey and Mouser at present (just when I was ready to buy!), case and PSU…costs soon add up and won’t ship until Q2 2022!
Good luck sourcing a ready to go set up.

I think I might try to buy another myself before they become obsolete....... I'm currently chatting to someone who is working on the GX400 core and sounds like he wants it to eventually get right down to gate level with chip decaps.
I wonder why there is suddenly a high demand for these DE-10 Nano's ?
EDIT..... Digikey says 8 weeks leadtime....ColinD2021-11-01 21:03:21

Ordered a couple of MMS's for me and a friend yesterday
Mouser have 756 landed and waiting to go into stock and a load more on the way:
Stock:
756 Pending
992 Expected 29/11/2021
1,000 Expected 28/01/2022
600 Expected 28/10/2022

Thanks for the heads up re Mouser.
As for the DE-10 becoming obsolete, hopefully this won’t be the case - the cores I’m interested in (Amiga, SNES, MD) all look excellent so I’m sure I won’t be disappointed to finally get one only for a more powerful FPGA successor to be announced.

Mouser:
On Order:
707 Expected 29/11/2021
954 Expected 28/01/2022
1,600 TBD
It's slipping. This is a bad time for buying any electronic components and you can't trust expected times anymore. Production lines will be focusing on fulfilling the big orders, not dev kits sold for less than the price of the chips on them.
Regarding obsolescence, it is a heavily subsidised board, so it's been a very nice-to-have. I'd imagine it'd just move to the next latest/greatest FPGA when they were done giving this one away at a loss.

I would be very very surprised if the DE10-Nano returns in any significant quantities now, if it does then there'll be some questions asked of Intel as to why they can fulfil orders for the silicon used on these giveaway dev boards and not the other FPGA products that are required for industry and other commercial products. I can see manufacturers buying DE10-Nanos to fit into their products if these supply issues went down that path.
I'm a contract hardware design engineer and getting anything made right now is becoming seemingly impossible, every other week I'm changing circuit designs because some IC has gone out of stock, and unless procurement jumps on a part instantly then that new design becomes unproducible quickly. I heard through one of our suppliers that the sales manager for a large FPGA manufacturer is getting a bit fed up of saying '52 weeks', as that is genuinely the fulfilment period for the majority of their silicon now.
Those on-order estimates on Mouser for the DE10-Nano are fairly hopeful, I wouldn't be surprised if they're not met.
