Rubbish! I put in a quieter fan in my Xbox and I can leave it on
overnight in my bedroom. Sure you can hear it, but I have an LG DVD
Player with Amplifier, which is *much* noisier.
I started a write-up *ages* ago, but in true mythTV fashion, it isn't
finished...yet!
Take a squizz here http://david.whyte.googlepages.com/changingthexboxcasefan
Ooooh, that is the first time I have looked at that page in ages and
it really is sucky, but it does tell you the fan I got. It required
some modifications (i.e. sanding off the corners of the fan) but it
works really well.
If you need some of the other pics I have, let me know. I could zip
them up and email them to you.
Cheers,
Whytey
