    I keep noticing how much fucking noise the fans inside my xbox put off, so I'm thinking of doing a case-mod where I'll cut a hole in the top of the system (the big flat side) and mount a good big quiet fan there with an airscreen to catch dust and shit.

    Probably going to remove the old fan and replace it with a much quieter exhaust fan, it will only have to be a fraction of the speed of the old fans because I'll have an intake fan as well.

    hey dude

    yeah i think everyone knows about the 360's being loud. Dunno if you've heard but microsoft has a couple of new designs coming out. i forget what they're called but they're meant to be slightly smaller, quieter and cooler and run on less power. i think they come out supposedly some time in 08 or 09 or as late as 2010. But instead of cutting up your 360 why not just by an intercooler. i've read good things about the pelican brand.

    peace

    I keep the console as far away from me as possible during gameplay. Preferably hidden behind some large item of furniture to muffle the sound.

    no experience on that with a 360, but i can imagine considering my pc is on almost 24/7 :D

    anyway ps3 is silent, i dont know why, maybe if you look into what they done you can do same to ur 360??

    man youre really looking for every excuse to lash the fuck out on me and come out on top constantly.

    i said i have no experience on what the 360 is like with its fan, however i have a pc so i know how annoying the fan gets, especially when youre DL while trying to sleep. and i think your being a bit of a bitch constantly now digitall, honestly. i cant hear my ps3, even intentionally i soon loose focus on trying to hear it. it has never bothered me.

    i guess focusing on majority of ps3 owners, the leading arguement would be its silent. but then again to some its too loud. get some fucking liquid hydrogen cooling for it man if something so unoticable bothers you.

    I'm glad none of you fanboys can accept the fact that each console has strengths and weaknesses. Competition results in the industry progressing very quickly in awesome ways.

    I wouldn't do that. You're going to get the RROD sooner or later and once you crack it open, that 3 year warranty goes away. I've gone through one and I have 4 friends who have had theirs die.

    Mine isn't that loud. I have it on the shelf with a cookie/cooling rack underneath it so air goes under it to keep it cool...or maybe it is loud and I'm just too into the game

    no, competition slows technology development down, especially in game consoles.
