new Coolermaster Cosmos 1010q

[QueBert]

Saw this on Newgg, it claims Aluminum/Steel, but Coolermaster's web site says nothing about it having Aluminum, it's $50 more and has no rebate right now. I'm wondering what they changed on it, newegg says it's 16.9kg which isn't lighter than the original. Looks like Coolermaster added ESA support, but I don't know of any MB's on the market yet that support this? Could be a nice thing of you want a future proof case.

anyone else knows if this case varies on any other levels?

there's a side fan now? that's not $50 worth of changes.

Well it also has that Nivida ESA crap that can control & monitor temps and fan speeds. Don't know how well it works, but you can install the software from Nvidia and control 4 fans in the case with it. If it can accurately monitor temps I might consider it, but ultimately it sounds like nothing more than a fancy fan controller that has software to control it.
Don't know if it's worth $50 more, actually more than $50 as the 1000 has a rebate which makes it like 170 I think. But maybe ESA is worth the money I gotta go read up on it.
