Yeah, noticed the small differences but as a fan controller with the fan LED connections, it'll be a lot less messy. A USB hub and 4 of these to do fans and LED's as opposed to 4 commander pro's and 4 lighting cores in my 1000D and that would save on the mess. :) And then the 280x's are limited in space as well for a cable mess with the PSU and I have 3 of those builds here that could use some cable lovin' too. Fingers crossed they go retail or easier to get the parts.
