XBOX 360's New Chassis
Solving the heating issues of XBOX 360, Lian-Li has launched the PC-XB01 chassis replacement for the console. This would solve many heating issues as well as lift up the performance. Some technical knowledge required to install this chasis.
The chassis comes with rear system fan [ 120mm ( 1500 RPM) ]. The dimensions being 160 x 250 x 415mm (W, D, H) the chassis has huge aluminum ducts for better cooling. The case also supports water-cooling with pipe holes. The power transformer has to be attached from the outside since the chassis is designed to fit the Xbox 360 internals.
Xbox 360 optical drive has been relocated away from the main heat generating components, allowing more airflow across the graphics chipset. This is also convenient if the user wants to change the cooler, or install water cooling.
Special sound insulation foam sheeting around the Optical drive reduces the mechanical noises from vibration of spinning disks. There are aluminum dust covers for the front connectors to protect the connector. The Optical drive has a spring loaded dust cover to keep the aesthetic appeal. Now this looks cool but those who have XBOX skins on their consoles will loose everything.
