Right, fully built and working. Looks awesome in my opinion. These pics might be a bit guff and probably dont do it justice, but here goes:

Xbox stripped completely and ready to go in.

Case prepped.

Everything installed in the case.

Closer view of the installed system. What you cant see here is the sound proofing foam on all the sides of the case around the drive bay area. There was also plenty of clearance between the motherboard and its tray for anyone (like myself) who have replaced the xclamps with better fittings.

System fully built and ready to go. Camera flash made the top drive cover look silver, it really isnt

Full system again, but this time with the typical peripherals you may have hooked up to it, plus the drive open. And yes Mark you do get to see the Ring of Light around the power button

For anyone interested in the scale of it.

Again, just for scale.

All in all I am pretty impressed with this case, and it takes a lot to impress me. Whether its worth shelling out 85 notes for is for you to decide. It looks lovely and should fit in nicely with most home theatre setups, and wont look totally out of place.

The build quality is impeccable and is well justified in the price. The poor cooling of the original systems is well handled too, with a 120mm fan already in, and it also has a fan splitter cable, allowing a 2nd 3 pin fan to be installed wherever you see fit.

Loving it already

Hope you replaced the X-Clamps too

I really like that.

I've seen some similar to this which looked horrendous, although they may have been home made bodge jobs, but this unit is nice and neat and it looks good too, plus actually serves a purpose with the improved cooling.

Of course, nylon and spring washers and new screws for each fitting

Not a fan of small cases

Crikey, that Lian Li is bigger then I thought it would be!

Marky · 20 Dec 2008 at 01:24

Hmm it looks okay - but I'd prefer my games console to look more like a games console and less like another computer

McManicMan · 20 Dec 2008 at 08:11

damm...that looks damm ugly

it may look like another computer but i would rather that than it packing in again due to overheating and a bad design for the case

Herojuana · 20 Dec 2008 at 08:33

That is ridiculously large

You are aware that the case design has absolutely nothing to do with the 360's faults, yes?

Looks ugly.

Best thing I saw was the Irn Bru can.

What!!

TheVoice · 20 Dec 2008 at 13:56

That's huge. Not sure why it needs to be so big, really, surely they could have improved the cooling without doubling the size?

How is it for noise, compared to the normal case?

Kind of obvious. Break warranty sticker on case (or opening it without ruining the sticker) voids the warranty.

Kinda cool, but pointless none the less.
