$300 for 10K is not a great price for this type of model
but people have to realize there are commodity shortages
international shipping bottlenecks, and so forth,
so finding fair price in stock is a good deal now.
don't wait till summer - you won't find inventory by then.
Use portable instead? The unit would sit on floor, the exhaust tube would go to window, and they normally have an extendable window block cover that can be oriented any direction.

Anyone have any tips on putting these into casement windows (sideways closing and opening)? Only have 2 windows in the studio I'm in and they are both casement.

If it fits width wise in the window you just need to make something to cover the open area above the AC. I use regular AC units in my casement windows with a piece of plywood to cover the opening above the unit. However, I suspect this one is too wide to fit in most casement window openings. If that's the case, nothing you can do. You can't turn them on their sides to get it to fit.

I'm confused: how does it hang in the window frame? My experience with these is all the weight goes on the top lip, which wouldn't be touching anything in a casement window.

I know someone who had this issue. They had casement windows and were not allowed to drill any holes or remove the window sashes. What they did was put an AC unit on a steel rack placed up against the window (not actually on or even touching the window), and then use cardboard/bubble wrap/duct tape to seal off the back of the AC unit so it was exposed to the open window but not to the inside of the room. It was bulky and ugly but temporary and while I'm sure there was some leakage, it worked pretty well.
The other options are getting a portable unit, which is either inefficient single-hose or expensive dual-hose, or a casement unit which is also much more expensive than a standard window unit.
What's a good price for 5K btu? Saw one for $99 maybe 2 years ago, but only seeing $150+ now.
You usually can get a 5k one at Walmart during summer for around $100-150. With the supply shortages of some metal and chemicals who knows. Prices are going up on a lot of things lately.
