A silent XBOX 360

What about the HDD? I don't see it in the screenshot, nor do I see a location for it.

360 noise is largely down to the drive which is pretty difficult to deal with.
 
You could get a PS3 and a Premium for the same money.

I always thought the noise came from the optical drive and after the release of NXE i hardly hear any noise when playing games from HDD

there are 3 (iirc) different fan makes in the 360 as well, if you're lucky you get a quiet one and if you're unlucky you get a delta (although it's suggested that those with deltas have a lower failure rate due to more air being pushed out.
 
Mine sounds like an aircraft taking off when i play games off the disk, 9/10 i install them except where it hinders performance - although sometime i think its worth it!

I wouldnt pay over the odds for a silent xbox nor stick two fans to the back
 
The reason they get noisier with age is because dust builds up on the heatsinks and fans and they have to work harder to keep it cool.
