Lian Li Xbox 360 case is just weeks away Posted by XanTium | June 5 17:12 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From bit-tech.net: [QUOTE] We've asked about it relentlessly for the last few tradeshows and every day in between and finally Lian Li confirmed with us today that its Xbox 360 replacement case is just weeks away. The case should offer extra air cooling in addition to a quieter 120mm fan - you can choose what you want to run it at. The whole front is a grill to let the air in, so you'll also be able to see the controller connectivity lights clearly too - although we do still wonder about the access to the little buttons that eject the drive and resync the wireless controllers. Quick swapping the SATA is also out of the question - you'll have to whip your hard drive right out of its plastic casing: this is, after all, the full daddy of recasing. Lian Li has also made some improvements to the cost too - it doesn't think people will be going in and out very often, so it has substituted things like the more expensive thumbscrews for flush ones and made the side panels just a plain sheet of aluminium instead.

That is one ugly beast!! certainly wont be replacing my stock case. Besides, with proper cooling mods, the original case is just fine.

It'd be cheaper to spray paint a cardboard box and punch holes in it

That thing is ****ing ugly

Water cooling compatible?

[jimbobjim]

Ha ha yeah, they drilled holes for an external water cooling kit when you could easily fit at least two inside.

[gAm3 Fr3aQu3]

haha wow... now thats what you call an x"box"

[WisePitfighter]

Water cooling compatible?

Oh gee, two holes through which to power the enormous internal water cooling system.
I mean, they can't possibly be for external

This advertisement brought to you by x-scene.

Is there a major product that many people could find useful being released? I'd certainly like to hear about it, when it's released. But this is nothing but an ad, since this doesn't reveal anything. Plus, based on the comments already, nobody here seems to want this thing, so why keep shoving it in our faces?

Lian Li makes top quality computer cases, My buddy has one and I have one. They look sleek and are very rock solid. but this case is too big in size for a 360, which makes it ugly as hell. Shrink it down in size and I would gladly bite.

You can bet this case is going to weigh a ton After all, Lian Li cases are famous for their weight.

It's ugly

I'll be getting one for a Media Center.
It's Lian Li. They are phenomenal cases, certainly worth the dollars.
I couldn't recommend Lian Li any higher, at every opportunity I build a system with a Lian Li case.

Sure it's big, but the 360 case is too small for a console needing that much cooling.
I'd risk it. I'd rather my console be functional than having to tear it apart every few months to fix the x-clamps after it fucks up again.
