This was announced a while back at CES and I applaud them for going with copper all around and using nickel plating to protect the color. I've been through a CNPS 9700, CNPS 9900, and a VF 1000 and they all suffered from the dirty copper look after a year of regular use.
Although this looks great I cant wait for the reviews. The also need to stop using blue LED fans as some users may want a different color scheme.
