Xbox 360 Case swap Lian Li XB-01 Mod Near SILENT

I'll cut straight to the chase. I HATE the Xbox 360 for its awful loudness. I dont care what anyone says, even without the dvd player running this freakin machine still sounds like its going to die with its funky fan noise. The only noise i like is noise coming from the speakers.

Enter the Lian Li XB-01. I am a super minimalist so the crazy flashing LED's and acrylic windows isnt my thing. It's like putting vtec stickers all over a car. Stickers dont make it faster. A lot of the modder crowd hates this case because it doesnt have any flashing lights or beautiful curves, but fits my criteria nicely and looks pretty darn good with my setup. I also put a 120gb hdd in there so i can install all my games ( i only have like 5 i want to play so far ) w/o hearing the jet engine.

There is still one noise that bugs me...the power supply. Stupid high pitched whine. video on that when the time comes to purchase! Also need to swap out the two Lian Li fans with more quiet Nexus ones.

I know i may have sounded a little anal about the noise but the truth is, i really am that anal. Thanks for watching!

Just wondering flakko86 as someone that has obviously fixed the 3RR before how is the system running now with your fan setup? Have you had any freezing or lag and have you seen any Red Rings?

[flakko86]

@jacumja yea my xbox red ringed not too long ago. i left my xbox on for like 10 hours on and blamo red ring :(

i like the lian li case beacuse it stops the rrod and the 2 red lights but wat i dont understand is why do ppl bitvh about the xbox 360 makeing noise with the orginal case i mean like i never ehar it u got to have like super sonic hearing to hear the orginal xboxs nosie and its not like any one pays attention to the nise

[flakko86]

well i guess i have super sonic hearing then. that fan has the worst type of fan noise...whine.

[taters5150]

how much did the case cost and where did u find it some info will be helpful thanks

[flakko86]

i bought for like 130 or so from coolerpcguys

[huggi2]

where can i buy this case ??????????

[milkkart]

well you certainly got the box quiet (except for the buzzsaw drive) but i still hear that whiny PSU in the background. for me thats the worst part, i can deal with the loud fans because honestly it doesnt even touch the amount of noise my PC puts out but that high pitched tone from the power supply drives me crazy.

You should use Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm fans, those are SUPER QUIET and have very effective airflow! yes they're around 20$ each, but don't forget they also come with a 6 years warranty, and also comes with anti-vibration rubber grommets!

can some one please please tell me were i can buy an lian li xb 01 thank you

[flakko86]

i was whining about the stock 360 fans. as you can see musacekic was taking about the "ORIGINAL CASE"

[comanche119]

i would add four custom fans that blow air out like jet and some other fans (put it were it doesn't ruin the air flow) and make it blow air in. it would be a consent air flow.

I have the original core system of 360 wich first came out and when i turn it on it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

[63B1stmaint]

mine is loud as hell, its the original fans that make all the noise.
