I use to have an XMC Black Knight case on one of my 360s, and it was junk. The first time I removed the faceplate, half of the tabs broke off. The plastic is real stiff and brittle.

I agree, they look nice and all but you have to be very careful with them.

well, if you are careful i am sure they will all work. But being a kid that are not always so "kind" to the toys they have.
Persoanlly if i was going to buy one, this would be it:

Just personal taste really.

Cheers I see they sell the whisper fan as well what?s your opinion on these fans do they do the job I watched a video on you tube and it made the consol louder my son is 16 is well trained in the art of looking after stuff if he doesn?t he knows what will happen?

I have the neon green fan in mine. It is not much loader than my other unmodded console, but it does push about twice the airflow of the stock fan. I figure that while your opening it and getting in there you might as well install one.

I would much rather have my console a bit louder then to have it get the RROD due to overheating.

Just leave it alone thats what I would do pretty lights doesnt do much for the system a fan might but in the long run its better to just enjoy the system for wat it does.. gameing. Weither or not the case looks all nince and lighted up doesnt matter much when ur lost in a great game.

I?m not after the star trek enterprise look with all the flashing lights just wanted to know if installing the whisper fan it would help it keeping the bugger cooler and hopefully keep the red rings of death at bay might give the case mod change a miss a lot of reviews like its been said say they are flimsy don?t fancy paying £40 for something that falls apart easy :)
