Lian Li wants to cool your Xbox 360
Check out our
TV coverage of this product
Lian Li had something special under wraps here on the pre-show day at
CeBIT 2008. Hidden in a cardboard box was a pre-production sample of
its all-new Xbox 360 chassis.
The enclosure, made from its lush, anodised, brushed aluminium, has enough space for all the internal components of the console, along with pre-prepared water-cooling holes in the rear.
In addition, the chassis has the necessary preparation for Elite owners
to transfer their hardware, with space for the HDMI already
catered for and the noisy cooling of the console replaced by a single,
low-speed 120mm fan on the rear.
While the power-brick is still external, we think this is a pretty
sweet alternative to the standard 360 enclosure. What's more,
it's rumoured to be hitting the shelves for around US$80.
We like it and we also like the fact that the 'X' on the top looks
more like our own logo than the official Microsoft one - if only it glowed in a nice shade of orange!

This case is a frakin joke. Who in their right mind would purchase this monstrosity and why?
The ONLY feasible advantage that this thing could have is running cooler. So maybe 1.5 years ago I would be interested in this. I own a v3 360 with the 65nm cpu and falcon mobo, and it runs so much freakin cooler than a v1 or even v2, so whats the point now?
Hey I have an idea, hows about replacing a pc cace with a refridgerator, I know it's gonna be bigger, but it'll run a little cooler.
And wtf are they making a big deal about their case having an hdmi slot? The case frakin better have hdmi, it's been manufactured on all 360 models since august '07. They are just trying to advertise for this piece of ****e.
I truely feel sorry for whoever gets roped into this frakin scam.
Oooof too much BSG watching and not enough understanding as to what trade shows are about...Quote
And why are people obsessing over having the power brick inside? It'll only add more heat internally and mean that they are restricted in how much they can reduce the case's size.Quote
:stupid: :angst:
Are you F*ing kidding me dude? I have my Xbox 360 running off a replacement fan (non-stock) along with 3 different fans all 4 soldered to the same 12v power source on the motherboard for higher more efficient cooling. It is NOT the fans speed or stock/non-stock fans that they detect for modded Xboxs and banning, it's the DVD ROM disc speed that is monitored. And if not running at the precise speed then yes, you have the chance of being banned but ONLY based on the Game Disc drive speed, not the fans. :rockon2:
Oh yeah well google this: xbox 360 fan mods bans
It's just a matter of time before you get banned...
And btw, DVD read speed has nothing to do with banning. MS bans if you play with unstealthed / screwed rips that's all. The thing is that the hacked firmware comes in multiple speed versions and if it would cause bans then only the original speed would be available... which is not the case.Quote
