The mini itx offering looks large, but very attractive.

If it's a follow-up to the 1080, it fits a full ATX motherboard in there. AFAIK, the 1080 is one of the smallest ATX chassis out there.

Pricepoint on the 1280 is kinda ouch!

Riotoro has set the price for the CR1088 at $100.

Suggested retail price for the CR1288 is $180.

I've seen expected street prices listed for these as $89.99 and $159.99, respectively. Multiple sites. SRP is nice and all but street prices are what it costs end-users.

...nice cases however the glass panels don't sell me.

I always wondered what the attraction was of showing off the guts of a machine with a bunch of lights inside. Personally I'd prefer a nice big fan (or dual fans) on the left side panel (such as the old Antec P-183/193 had) to aid in airflow. So much more elegant and professional in design while also being more practical.

I wish the CR500 with the tempered glass would have come out last month. I really wanted the corsair air540 but it doesn't have tempered glass. Instead I bought the NZXT S340. Not quite a dual chamber design, but it hides most of the wires and hard drives. The CR500 would have been perfect for what I wanted.
