whoa.

112mm - about 4.5inches. That's rather large.

that's a 112mm fan. They really only legitimately go to 120mm fans... so that's about as big as you'd want

that's a good thing... no proprietary common parts. The optical drive is connected with a simple SATA connection as is the hard drive.

Because BIG fans are better than SMALL fans :)

also... THIS fan is why it's so big

it also helps that the new APUs are MUCH cooler and efficient.

also, these modern consoles probably have a LOT less thermal energy too. I haven't looked at the TDPs, but if it's anything like a modern PC, they are getting MUCH more efficient and subsequently cooler.

yeah, but those had no void space AND they had small fans.

I'd love to replace my Original Elite 360 with one of these.

it's probably a LOT quieter. Slim designs mean smaller fans which means higher RPMs which means more noise.

I really want to like it. I like the idea of it... but the execution of the body is another round of overwrought Japanese nonsense styling-for-styling-sake.

she's better looking than the character.

My friend Jesse has the way rarer 16" ones:

I miss my Zender Turbos

this won't make me a better fighter until they give me 3x2

Recently, I pulled out Rock Band 3 and my gear and put my 4 year old behind the drums. RB3 has a freestyle drum thing in training so he loves it.

I had to look up R9 280x. I didn't even know AMD changed the nomenclature of their cards. I thought there was a third choice.

saved me from having to post the same photo. Good man

you're not finding an E30 for under $1000 anymore... unless it's rotten or an 84 318i or a garbage 325e
