Much cheaper @ well under £30 and possible to do my mod without invalidating your warranty if your careful enough!

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.

No mention of a new optical drive, and apparently an unmodified power brick.

Brilliant, that's worth the money.

Looks like hdd is mounted internally under the dvd-rom.

I think that's what's known as an oxymoron!

You could get a PS3 and a Premium for the same money.

Bargain, i'll take 4!

 

[vincent1989]

**** me! they want £220 for £100 worth of case and fans? now that's what i call a mark up!!!

 

[monkeyspank]

Rip off!
not worth paying over 100 quid for their 'warranty'. just buy the case, if the xbox dies get a new arcade one.

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.

New fans+NXE, a lot cheaper

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Not sure about anyone else but I don't find either of my 360's loud at all

you rang?

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

I swear my elite started off alright, no where near my PS3 but for some reason has got noiser with age. Its borderline Boeing 747 now.

 

[DreXeL]

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.
