I was kinda looking forward to it...

Seems the parts are similar to the ones that are usually causing RRoDs in the old 360s, though, which is a downer. Still interesting to see what's underneath. 40 looks fairly similar to a micro ATX board you'd see in most comps. Kinda worried about the fan/heatsink, though. The PS3 slim's fans, by comparison, are a lot better. Heck, those rival some of the best ones found in PCs, even. I'd wonder if the 360 Slim's fan would allow for enough heat dissipation. I wouldn't worry if there was something blowing air through the case (there doesn't seem to be here) but it seems cramped in there to get enough ventilation.

Just figured I'd give a heads up on this, since I was actually in the market to look at the console if it had a lot of fixes. Sadly, I don't really see a lot here...it just looks more cramped than anything. No change out of parts that usually were at fault was done here either. I'm actually a bit disappointed.

I read that the Slim has features in it that will shut itself off if its going to overheat... So it makes itself avoid the RRoD but that still doesn't mean it won't overheat. I can't see the inside from here (video games filtered at work), but are they the type of fans that could be replaced? Maybe if you beef up the RPMs it would help. Might be louder but its better than being shut off.

I can't imagine that they'd keep the fans proprietary. It looks like a regular CPU fan on a slimmed down heatsink. I'd assume that if you found something that sits on top just fine within the size constraints that you could make it work just fine.

Or you can just run it wide open and have a hell of a fan on your heatsink. Kinda defeats the point of a closed-in console but...

If you're seen pictures, it looked like the entire side of the system was a vent. Still though, it's dumb that they wouldn't redesign things with the remodel but somehow I'm not surprised this is the case.

Well, you'd figure that they'd get serious with their cooling and part quality after the percentage of failure rates that marred the initial system...

...but then again, people were returning/repairing and re-buying their systems and not really staving off from buying the system. So MS doesn't really have to change at all when people don't abstain from the system and jump to the PS3 or Wii. They're smart with their money vs. consumers, that's for sure.

Still, I was more interested for myself. I'll likely have one of these apart when someone's Slim gets a RDoD around here...already had a good amount of 360s apart, two PS3s and one Wii...and the Wii was GPU frying on it because of some standby problem.

Supposedly it won't RRoD, though. We'll have to see if thats actually true. It does Red Dot of Near-Death though when it overheats or there's an error.

Yea, that was the entire point...it will RDoD, not RRoD. It doesn't say anything about the failure rate going to 0%. The failure rate is likely the same.

It does turn off if it overheats, though. Granted, that might have something to do with how the unit's positioned... but they actually put in a check of some sort for that.

We'll find out in a few months I guess.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
