Did you get it yet? Multiple reports of 1-month-plus shipping delay notifications after the order is placed. I ordered one of these myself and canceled after the delay. Still plan on ordering one albeit with a different config.

Originally I opted for the 5700GE (apparently slightly faster than the 5750GE) thinking I wanted the most power possible in the box. But my new thinking is I really want a 5300GE to pull out and put in an AM4-based silent HTPC for the living room, then upgrade the HP with a separately purchased 5700GE. QuietPC seems the only vendor selling these "GE" 35W models -- but not any 53X0GE parts. In other words buying one of these non-vendor-locked HP minis and ripping them out might be the only way on Earth right now to get one's grubby hands on any 53X0GE.

Also, are you sure there are two M.2 slots on the EliteDesk G8's? I know they are on the G6 but haven't found confirmation the G8's continue the tradition.
