Lian-Li-PC-XB01-bs.jpg
The PC-XB01 is a chassis replacement for the XBox 360 that was designed to alleviate heating issues from hot components and reduces noise from vibrating optical drives in the original case design. Now heat will no longer be a factor in dampening your gameplay.

The PC-XB01 is essentially an aluminum black hair-line brushed anodized chassis
The company claims that the 120mm (1500RPM) rear fan draws off the heat from inside the case effectively and silently, while the ODD region is encased in stylized foam to reduce noise from spinning disks. All the Xbox 360 ports are hidden behind dust covers and the ODD bay. The PX-XB01 has a spring loaded dust cover. The unit can be placed horizontally or vertically, and the water cooling pipe holes are an option to use should you be inclined to do so. The case is designed to fit the entire Xbox 360 internals similar to the original, with the power transformer attaching from the outside.

Unfortunately, using the DIY PC-XB01 means that Microsoft probably won't cover your Xbox 360 in case something goes wrong during the modding process. The company has an installation guide on their website for users.

The DIY PC-XB01 sells for $149.00.

Although Lian Li has developed an ingenious solution to the cooling issues regarding the XBOX 360, it failed to add mounting holes on the rear of the case to support wireless network adapters.
