I say get this and the Cooler Master Centurion 5, even if you're going to wait for overclocking, the 120mm version is the version to get.
And if you can afford it, go for this case instead, it's like the CM690 posted above, but IMO at least, better in terms of air-flow, once you add another few fans, etc.

I'm with The Master Chief on this one CM/RC 690 is the absolute bomb. Hands down winner.

Get that $45 one instead, it's leaps and bounds better than the Centurion 5, the 590 is more expensive and you may as well get the better cooler.

In short... quite a bit.
Way better airflow and better build quality are the most important reasons.

120mm fans are quieter than 92mm fans as well.
The S1283, on lower TDP CPUs, gets around the same performance as a TRUE. Mine keeps my Dual Core under 60c load in Australian Summer (Crappy ambients)
