So to summarise really, the only noisy bit is the optical drive. The fans arent that loud and besides, those fussy enough to be bothered by that would have swapped them out for quieter ball bearing fans anyways. I have seen/read about a guy who had water cooled his 360, think he had more money than sense though cos he started with an Elite from new and took it to pieces as soon as he got it home... if only my pockets were that deep.
In the meantime, I am going to keep working on affordable replacement options for the optical disk drive.
Just so you know, Im also working on making a bluray drive compatible with the 360 too, ever since I heard HDDVD went down the pan...
