I didn't see any prices on Newegg yet either. The initial reviews though have been overwhelmingly positive, it looks like AMD has a winner with the 280X.

Will an h100i fit in that case?

You can but it's not really necessary. You should read this as it takes a look at new liquid coolers and compares them to the old favorite Noctua D14: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nepton-280l-tundra-td02-water3.0-pro-reserator3-max,3607.html
