I haven't had the opportunity to pick up any edge PSU's but they do look quite good overall and pricing is actually quite nice. Are their new Earthwatts made by Seasonic as well? Hmm..
I switched from 100% Antec cases and psu's (300 and Earthwatts 430) to 100% Corsair (350D/450D and HX650/750). Sure that was a big step up in cost and features but it has been worth it. I like the 2.5" cages, better cable routing, a little more width and clearance behind the motherboard tray, great fan arrangements and support for top mounted 240mm radiators along with modular cables on the HX psu's. It just makes building and supporting the boxes better. Plus I feel I ran into some overclocking reboots due to the 430W where 650W is never an issue.
The P50 sounds interesting but I don't see any pictures. The P70 looks pretty good, depending on the price point. For $99 it would be a solid contender but I suspect it will be $120+.
From the top, the P50 is the fourth image -- the cover was removed on the ISK600M, so I can see how you might think they're the same case. The gallery also has additional photos.
Don't buy the P50. If you do, Don't expect anything to fit or expect to have more than half your fans working without a live bare wires just randomly hanging out.
^ I'm definitely not buying from antec anymore either. Really disappointed with my last antec purchase. I don't think I've ever owned a single, quality product from them. Fans, cases, psu... None of their stuff is made to last longer than the three year warranty, nonetheless a month past the deadline to return it to the store =/
The P50/ P50 Red Window are both terrible. Reallly cheap fan connectors spliced to break after the second time opening the case. This is on ALL 4 (2x120mm top and 2xfront) fans. Not to mention the extreme lack of clearance between the mobo panel and the top of the case makes it impossible to install any 240mm radiator/fans on the top and the case itself too small to fit any 240mm radiator in the front (other than antec, im guessing) In fact, Not a single AIO 240mm water-cooling system (besides one of antec's models) has been proven to fit in the case. That doesn't quite seem like dual 240mm radiator compatibility to me... Good idea. Horrendous execution. DO NOT BUY.

I don't understand the X-1 cooler. Is it like a fancy laptop cooling pad? And how would the temperature sensor work?The Xbox One is already very quiet (and presumably cools well enough) at stock. I doubt there's a market for that cooler.
