Product Reviews
- “If the price doesn't scare you off and you're keen on the design of the Lian Li XB01 case then there's no reason not to invest in a Quiet PC Xbox 360. Your ears will definitely thank you for it!”
- “In use, there’s no doubt that the Ultra-Quiet XBox is, well, ultra quiet. Standard system noise is practically non-existent. Have a listen for yourself. There is still some noise from the DVD drive, albeit a lot less than you would otherwise get. The reduced noise means you can actually hear quiet moments in your favourite games, rather than losing all the dialogue to the whirrrrr.

Ultra-Quiet Xbox 360 Consoles
If you are looking for an Xbox 360 and are aware of the noise they generate and would like to do something about that from the outset then we have the whole range of Xbox consoles all pre-built into the excellent Lian Li XB-01B case.
Features
- Brand new, worry-free quiet Xbox 360!
- Built into the Lian Li aluminium XB-01B case
- Every quiet Xbox comes with a full two year warranty
- Works as a virtually silent Media Center Extender
- Every unit is fully tested prior to shipping
As well as installing the Xbox components in the Lian Li case we also supply the system with anti-vibration fan mounts and silicone feet to further aid in noise reduction. But that's not all! The optical drive is also very noisy so to combat this Lian Li have placed acoustic foam in strategic places to help reduce noise and vibration. We also coat the optical drive with the fantastic AcoustiPack material which again helps reduce the noise of the optical drive even further.

Although these steps help, unfortunately the Xbox still makes some noise while reading DVDs or CDs. The best advice we can offer is that if you play the same game regularly then you can copy the game directly to your hard drive, thanks to the New Xbox Experience. Finally, do not leave the DVD or CD in the optical drive if it is not being used, for example if you are using the Xbox as a media extender - these steps will prevent any unnecessary noise.
We also remove the ducting which Lian Li supply with the case and their case fan. In their place we use a Scythe Kaze Jyu 120mm fan and a Slim Scythe 100mm fan. The reason we have done this is to improve cooling and also to reduce the noise during gaming. We noticed the Lian Li fan was a little too noisy for our liking and therefore we had to change it. This makes the Xbox quieter during gaming activities. We also added a second fan directly over the CPU/GPU area to further increase cooling without any increase in noise.
Warranty
Each system we sell is supplied with a full two year warranty so if you have any problem within that time frame just let us know and we will take care of things.

I bought one of these and I am very impressed with the job it does. It's VERY quiet. I have installed my own 120GB 360 HDD so I don't have to listen to the DVD drive spinning. All in all, a very good product and service.
