Looks just like a PS3 now.

Would match nicely with my Lian Li PC-A05 right next to me, if I had an Xbox. Lian Li really makes some nice computer cases, looks like they translated the quality pretty well.

Would be nice if there were a way to incorporate the HD-DVD drive (What? What? I still got mine. How else am I gonna watch "Accepted"?) into the case.

mikejonas

It almost looks like a mac pro... almost.... but by microsoft.... It cant be

Where are the Red rings? I dont even see green rings.

HawkSkater0

i have no idea about the size, but if it is a normal PC case then it's not worth it
cause it will lose the compact effect
oh wait that's their intension

if you don't care about size and warranty period is over then i say go for it
it is cooler and it reduces noise :D

@conception:Everyone who buys a 360 has a one year warranty though, so that warranty would be void.

trickstyle2

@trickstyle2: The warranty period on the 360, even with the extended, for a lot (most?) is over or nearly so anyway.

conception

Void the warranty much?

trickstyle2

It is like a luxurious spa for your 360! I'll take one if the price is right.

But does it still have the correctly configured LEDs for the red ring of death? How else will I know when my system craps out again? Bad form, Lian-Li. Bad form.

Is my Xbox 360 too loud, too hot, and too small?
...
No, but I am! Heey-Ooooh!
*rim shot*
...
Wait...Wait...that's not right!!

I have to say, I'd be tempted if it does a GREAT job of killing the noise. It would have to be very very quiet to make me think about spending the money, but I'd think about it. Just goes to show MS could make some more money kicking out a 360-doesn't-sound-like-a-jet edition

bitgod

I'm not gonna lie, I DO want this.

tehronin

Looks like it was inspired by the Mac Pro - not a bad thing.

CutePuppyz

It's a shame they couldn't integrate their own PSU. The brick on the 360 is a PITA.

scoobydoo

too bad it wasn't built by Antec, then it could have been built like their cases with the piano black finish .)

ryusen

Now we can be just like the ps3 and be as big as a bbq AND have great games!
Win win!

GloStix

@Roger Huston: Yes, it looks just like a PS3. Except for the part where the PS3 doesn't look anything like this at all. You know, with the glossy finish, multicard reader, chromed raised-relief lettering, curved shell, and slot drive.

Other than that, it looks just like a PS3.

wild homes

@conception: Even my launch console has another 3 months on its warranty, and there aren't (relatively speaking) many of those left. Most people have at least a year left on the portion of the warranty that covers the RRoD.

That said, once my warranty is up, I may very well get this for my 360.

Rhainor

@HawkSkater0: Tru dat, double true!

eddiesdguy

This case essentially turns your 360 into a mini-PC tower. PRACTICALLY.

CutePuppyz

ok the 360 is kinda loud but drown it out by turning it up or whatever...
second the 360 wont overheat as long as you dont shove it in a cabinet and dont plug it into a surge/power strip. the big brick on the cord is a surge/power supply and when u plug it into a strip it screws with it by not giving the thing enough power making the fans suffer. I have an 360 and the three times it red ringed was the times i plugged it into a strip. never sent it back just let it cool.
Try it and see if thats the problem.

exobite

@CutePuppyz: Stole my comment!

It's a good attempt, but I'd have liked to have seem more variation in the colour of the thing, like maybe steel side panels, aluminium weave thing... or white acrylic sides, with an extremely subtle green LED circle somewhere.

PlayerX

Oh god...here we go...

valekeyes46

Anything like this for the original Xbox? This would make my XBMC look 1000 times better

iamsantino

I love lian-li... Almost makes me wish I had a 360. Wait, no it doesn't.

heretik

beautiful? yes.

pricey? lian li isn't exactly cheap.

rimplestultskin

Interesting. There are a lot of Xbox modders out there who have already voided their warranty and modded their boxes for the pirate scene, I'm sure they would be all over this. Don't look at me like that, I'm just saying is all...

Tonicboy

If it could only get rid of the shithole Toshiba drive that sticks all the time...

Michai

So, at what point are we going to come full circle, and theirs no PC or Consoles just different operating systems on a universal hardware setup o.O

PnkPanther

Reduce noise? So the tower comes with a completely different DVD-drive than the 360?
Everybody knows that 90% of the noise comes from the DVD-drive (whirring and not vibration) right? I bought a 360 from a friend of mine who had gotten the DVD firmware modded to only spin at 5x instead of 12x and it's just as "silent" playing games from discs now as being on the dashboard or playing a demo.
Now, if I were to get this tower for my 360 I'm sure it'd be pretty heavenly but on a stock 360 I don't imagine there would be much of a difference, not even close to the silence of my PS3 anyways :)

McKack

@wild homes: Doesn't matter. You'd have voided your warranty anyway.

stradric

that's pretty cool, but WAY too big...

f0rge

So this is how you fix the 3 RROD...

ws6kid

I all ready have one of these; its called my PC.

Metropolis

I WANT

theorie

Well it is cool and the xbox is small so 4times the xbox would be like a CRT monitor size right without the huge back.
I'd rather give up space and be addicted than be addicted have my system get messed up and then have to wait 2 weeks to get another one nd be craving it.
{-i dont have a 360 because i dont see the point in getting a 360-)

SneakerFiend

This the perfect combo for those who retarded enough to by a 360 in the first place. You have to get a giant computer chasis to get the thing to quiet and cool. So now there would only be a 93% chance of it taking a dump on you. Awsome.

chesterdorsey01

Now I have both systems but just need an update...

Not to have everyone freak out and call me a PS3 Fanboy or anything but where does this put the "360 is Cheaper, PS3 is too much" argument at? So now that you have to buy this too to make up for the RROD, and maybe even a Blu-Ray player in the future.(I doubt it and don't care) To have both systems reliable and full of features...how much does each one cost?

Let's see...
XBOX 360 $280-$450
HD-DVD(oops!) $199(ugh...thank god I never bought that!)
Online Service $50/year

PS3 $399-$499
Blu-Ray included
Online Service free

Ok...I'm gonna leave games up to all you fanboys cuz I personally like a variety of games on each system.

So the 360 can cost from...
$280 + $50/year(for online) to $549 + $50/year
$330 to $600 and don't forget to add whatever the price of this computer case is to those prices...so let's say it's $100

The 360 is between $430-$700 + $50/year
The PS3 is between $399-$499

Wow...how the tables have turned.

valekeyes46

Oh yeah...two more valid points on the wireless adapter and HDD.

The entire live vs. psn thing always confused me. I'm sure there's something I'm missing but there are only two things that I've ever noticed that I wish the PS3 had. That's in game messaging and chat and in game user soundtracks. But that's nothing that skype and a radio can't fix so what's the problem? (Not to mention the newest update coming at E3. V2.40 will give us those things) I've found that both systems offer the same reliability. There's no difference in connectivity. They both work fine for me so I don't understand why Microsoft is charging.

Plus the amazing things that you can do if you have a PSP on hand...playing PS1 games and streaming all music pictures and video from your PS3 to your pocket. That also is pretty convenient.

valekeyes46

@valekeyes46:

both systems also, but with the ps3, dont forget the built in wireless (another $100 for ms adapter), and swappable hard drive of the ps3 vs proprietary, overpriced hard drives on the xbox360.

to be fair, the HD-DVD drive for xbox360 is only $50 max now. then again, that's a ripoff, as pc hd-dvd drives are available for half that.

but xbox live is much better, but i do like the organization of the new PSN store.

ralphwiggum1

So I can keep my ugly white case, or get a tower that doesn't fit in my entertainment center? Pure lose...

I'm lucky in that cost isn't really an issue for me and I've got a Lain-Li PC-75b case that I absolutely love, but I'm seriously doubting this thing can mitigate the noise of that stupid DVD drive.
