Red Harbinger Have Started Pre-Orders For Their “Cross” Desk In The EU

Red Harbinger have started taking Pre Orders for their extremely limited and sought after Cross Desks in Europe. Over the last week or so they have been taking pre orders in the USA but today the flood gates have opened for us. Whats more they have thrown in a lot of exclusive extras and have said this

“Due to the complexity of shipping this beautiful monster, we are starting production in stages. Phase II is for the EU and Australian markets. This is a collectors edition with reduced pricing, limited edition features and accessories. This sale is before Kickstarter and retailers, and will likely be the last of the Cross desk production for the next several months.”

They also give a nice list of what to expect from your purchase

You will get the following:

• The desk
• Reduced pricing for early adopters. ($400 discount including reduced shipping)
• All the accessories we have made so far are included. ($150 | Headset Mount | Shelving)
• Special “Limited Edition” case badge.
• Collectors certificate signed by the team.
• Collectors artwork of La Croix herself.
• Founders access to the developers in a special forum section! (just for you and the other founders)
• Custom founders forum title and badge.
• Open door to talk with our engineers on an idea you might have for a new case or possible accessory to the Cross desk!
• Special recognition on our Facebook page, Twitter and website!

We also managed to get the full specifications from the Customer Support Manager of Red Harbinger.
