Hey guys,

I finished my clear shell modification today. All is well, but I replaced the standard fan for the Blue LED Whisper fan, and it seems OK, but it doesn't blast hot air out under a lot of gaming but does seem to disperse what is needed. Am I being paranoid or does it sound a little fishy?

You have probably just improved the air flow in the case and better thermal paste. On the other hand the air could now be disperseing into the case and not being pushed out. if the air is cooler than it was perviously i wouldn't worry as it will probably be better than a companies low cost methods regardless.
 
You'll just have to monitor it and see how it goes, just because cool/cooler air is coming out that doesn't necessarily indicate better cooling, it could be that the fan is completely ineffective and not dragging any hot air out at all. If everything internally is still positioned as it was before, just with a clear case, then I imagine it'll be fine but I'd probably run it for a while and see if it heats up much.

Yeah, same one, Upgraded the fan so should be all good, well is so far from playing games, I'm putting a blue cathode on as we speak, will upload photos soon, just having to reconnect the touch sensitive eject button :)

The case cost £35 and the neons etc were more, here is a pic of it up and running, sorry about the quality I used my camera on the phone. Im loving it so far!

Not too long man, once I got the tool kit and a bit of experience with the gloss case it wasn't a problem, but a couple of times the clear case had to be taken off, trial-and-error stuff, but now all is well with the touch sensors etc (also ordered a spare from ebay, and neons lol :)

Thanks guys. All is now well.

I have one issue and not sure weather I'm being a paranoid android or not?

When turning off sometimes the xbox makes a small click like a pc power supply might sometimes do, is this a normal operation from the HDD or PS?

Never noticed it before, I've had two slims and two Falcon units.
