The XBEE Case Mod

[KINGAMAR V2]

Everyone knows about the lian li replacement case right, they are'nt the only one's looking to give the 360 a face-lift.

I just stumbled upon this, a group of swedes have designed and are in the works of maybe mass marketing their new 360 case chassis the XBEE (xbox elegant edition) check it out.

wow, that looks nice! I hope they come up with more colourfull and funky designs though, it looks really cool!

I think they are aiming more to the side of cooler performance, I have to agree the looks of this and the Lian Li arent spectacularly amazing, I think it has a nice retro look though and supporting 3 120mm fans should keep the 360 guts cool and happy, but this is something we might see more of, although I think its a bit late in the 360's life nevertheless its welcome.

Always nice 2 see some new designs... But I still like the stock casing

it would be awesome if they could design a casing around the original box. Say like a XBOX 360 case, but bigger and chunkier!

Now that i've looked at it closer and seen how its installed I see there isnt any direct cooling on the GPU as the way the 360 hardware sits in the case is pretty much the same as with the stock case, meaning the DVD drive still sits above the GPU so you still have a kind of tunnel system creating a vaccum over the CPU and GPU but in this case its a single 120mm fan pulling the air, so in this respect the Lian li design (internally) is better as it shifts the DVD drive away from the GPU giving it open space and, if you can - fitting a 3rd party heatsink/fan over your GPU, It's not easy but it can be done.

But still the 2 other 120mm fans on the sides creating a stream of air over the board may make up for that, i would like to see this case in a black color too.
