Just a little moan about the Xbox 360
I own a Xbox 360 Elite, a nice bit of kit, but tday it developed a problem... (A Microsoft product with a problem?! Never!)
The video display became corrupt and it displayed blue where black should of
been, "oh dear" I thought vaguely hoping that my HDMI cable was to blame,
no such luck, the Xbox then "red ringed" so tomorrow I will be ringing
the all mighty Microsoft tech support to get my 360's mainboard replaced...
(After I remove my whisper fans and fit the stock ones)
The Xbox 360, very nice but shittly designed and overheats like f*ck!
R.I.P Xbox 360 Elite #1, #2 will shortly follow!
My 360 came back yesterday (15/12/08) with a new motherboard, fitted
the XCM Live fans V2, one fan for the CPU and one for the GPU, and the high
speed air cooler (2 fans at the back) with a temperature sensor module, probably won't make f*ck all difference but we'll see.
Here are some piccies of the new fans:

The temperature gauge
Incase you can't read it, it reads GPU: 36 degrees C - CPU: 44 degrees C

Case modifying stuff done, I'm not happy with it though... It's obviously a bit
of a shit case, nothing really fit properly and I had to relly piss around to make
everything fasten, looks kinda cool though.
The only reason why I did this case mod was so I can see that everything is working
without taking the Xbox 360 apart.
