+InsaneNutter MVC Posted September 7, 2009 MVC Share Posted September 7, 2009 Are those fans any noticeable quieter than the stock ones? I hate noise from fans lol :p Yes and no, when running them in 5v mode the 360 is very quiet. I think this 360 has a problem as the fans gradually spin up getting louder and louder even when just idle on the dashboard. Once the 360 has warmed up the fans just run in 12v mode all the time which is just as bad as the stock fans it had. I wouldn?t expect amazing results, the other 360 I have with stock fans is practically silent compared to this one even after its been playing Gears for two hours. The blue glow in a dark room is kind of nice thoug;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0mbi Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 cant beat the simple arcade 360, the silver disc tray looks cheap Pure opinion. I think the white looks cheaper. cause i associate it will the low end 360 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktael Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have to agree with t0mbi...how can it look any cheaper than a pure white arcade... The 'chrome' (not silver) I think looks quite nice on the 'old' defunct mid range 360 and the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted September 7, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted September 7, 2009 The 360 arcade drive tray is just white plastic? Didn't know that, that must look much better. I think the chrome tray looks tacky as hell, I wanted to pickup an elite cause it's black but if money carries on being tight I must just get an arcade if the above is true!

No more pr0 tho. Tbh your best off getting the Elite, or you'll only kick yourself later when you go to buy a hard drive and it all adds up. Plus for the prices elite's are right now, you can't go wrong really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaris Veteran Posted September 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2009 I remember looking on play.com the other day, they had an xbox elite with a few games (the scene-it movie thing), controller, hdmi, etc for ?199.99, and then the one below it was an xbox elite with nothing, for the same price?

Draken Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Well I've finished my repairs (my xbox had the RROD) and I'm up and running again :woot: It wasn't a great mod, I just wanted to get the damn box working again: 12V fan Mod with external power supply 50MM fan on top of GPU heat sink extension Extended GPU heat sink with copper foil Small window on top of new fan with Plexiglas X-clamp mod (+ arctic silver) Passive heat sinks on RAM and HANA chip To do: Add some leds Voltage regulator (at 12V it's more a Boeing 747 at take-off power than a console) I need help with: A way to turn on the fans when the machine boots (may be a relay) A fan voltage regulator So any idea will be appreciated :) Some pics: Before....: After: Edited September 7, 2009 by Draken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's a waste of money... might as well wait until the thing craps about before you spend money replacing it just for the colour of it.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted September 7, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted September 7, 2009 Surely that's a waste of money... might as well wait until the thing craps about before you spend money replacing it just for the colour of it. I have an obsession with making anything gadget wise match the rest of my collection, especially in a home theatre setup. I have a choice now to get a Black 360, but I never had/still don't have the choice of a black Wii. My portables are all white (PSP/DS/iPhone), and I want my consoles to be black :p (because my TV/sound system and TV stand are) I hate colours, make things look like toys/childish, I'm a boring old man. As for it crapping out, I've had the red rings briefly before, but it turned on right away after a complete power down and unplug and has worked fine since. I'm pretty sure a mate would buy it off me if I changed it, so I'd get a little money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst having everything matching colour certainly looks nicer, I for one wouldn't pay out more just to have it matching. Guess I am not as obsessed as you though. ;) True, you could probably sell it and buy a new one and will have only spent a little bit of money to ease your OCD. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean my mate has a pink 360 controller, all the fischer price red/blue ones look bad enough, but pink? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
