Well aren’t you just a little downer… Have you never heard of overkill? it’s a good thing to have. Besides, no matter how quiet the XBOX360 HDD is, it still has moving parts and as such, still makes noise. So no, this is NOT a pointless hack… It’s quite the opposite, a very useful hack. And for people who just enjoy doing things like this, it is a wonderful and assimilating endeavor. For you to say that it is pointless is liken unto saying that the creators of the XBOX it’s self – or any other gaming system for that matter – had no business even working on such foolishness.

The 360 is optimized to run from a DVD. M$ did so because of the modding of the first Xbox and it’s a two birds with one stone concept, deter modders from pirating games to their HDD’s and also so the games could be played with no lag.

Seen a case mod where a guy installed the 360 guts into a pc case and had it watercooled, was pretty cool

Jsut to say that there is no need for this hack now. As said before most of the noise comes from the DVD drive and now with the new NXE dashboard you can copy the data to your hard drive and so there is no need for DVD to run whilst running the game. Though i do have to say that there is still noise from the start up, but that does not last that long at all.

A pointless hack.

Better to just go out and buy a 60GB Jasper 360 and install the games to the HDD. Not only will you save on parts but you’ll have a smaller footprint and will ultimately save money on power consumption too. There would also be little point in trying to fit a SSD drive for the reasons already outlined (incompatibility with the hddss.bin configuration) as well as the fact the current HDD is barely heard. Good idea 2 years ago, but not now. MS have finally gotten their act together and are making reliable 360′s (it’s a shame the same cannot be said for Sony’s PS3 – check the Playstation boards for people with issue after the last update!)

Its a great hack but I think I’ll just move mine to another room and run a couple long CAT6 cable which will carry the HDMI data via a HDMI to CAT6 converter.

PS when is someone going to do a 19″ rack mount Xbox and PS3 with external controller aerial and game disc loader “IDEA” just saw a robot arm for £30 ($50)

It’s not like the controllers aren’t wireless and you could move the console farther away from you…

Quiet does not seem to be the point here, rather all the temp problems should go away.
