Lian Li Xbox360 , pc like case at CES

Might just be what the 360 needed.

The company has designed an all aluminium Xbox 360 replacement enclosure that lives up to Lian Li?s reputation for quality and sleek, stylish design. The chassis was a prototype, but it contained a fully-functional Xbox 360 on which I had time to do a quick race in PGR4.

Of course, you?re going to have to pull your Xbox 360 out of its original case, which means that your warranty will be void. But with that said, Lian Li?s solution is a vast improvement over the Xbox 360 chassis? cooling, which means that it will be a much quieter design and overheating should be less of an issue as well.

Lian Li?s representatives said that, due to the prototype case?s design, there is the chance for end users to replace the Xbox 360 hard drive with something cheaper and larger too, because Microsoft?s drives aren?t exactly good value for money when it comes to pounds per gigabyte.

I'll believe it when I see it (in terms of replacing the 360's hard drive).

I imagine doubling the size of the case would help with cooling....

I love my Lian Li case for the PC... great build quality and a good design (except some don't like the lack of a reset button). What this case needs is a power supply built into the case rather than using the nuclear reactor that the 360 currently uses.

If these cases really do help with the cooling problems, I'm going to get an XboX 360 Core from eBay and stick it in the case (and get a bigger HDD if possibile).

Well, if the Xbox 360 is anything like the original, maybe you can use an ATX PSU. 🙂

Case probably costs more than a new 360. Nice concept tho.

If they've figured out the hard drive they should just release an enclosure.
I sure as hell am not buying an ugly box like that. I bet it lights up inside too :roll:

I agree, It will probably cost more :/ otherwise its a cool idea
