Title: X-Box Pics More Of \'em
Post by: on January 06, 2001, 12:40:35 PM: I just got sent some pictures of the xbox console from xbox.com.

seems to me this machine needs a lot of cooling.
1 question, because the xbox uses a normal computer processor does that mean it\'ll make as much noise as a normal computer??

The P3 processor needs an heatsink and a fan.
The GPU will also need an heatsink and a fan.
The media communications processor will brobly use both.
The Hard drive will make alot of noise while spinnning.
The cd/dvd drive will make alot of noise.
And there is also a big fan on the back of it near the power supply so this machine will probly be the loudest.
T GameCube will be the most silent since the PPC processor doesn\'t require active cooling.

The cd/dvd drive will make alot of noise.

There is no dvd drive on the xbox, it doesn\'t support it...

The games can be on dvd and the system can use a dvd drive without supperting movies.

Post by: Crippler on January 06, 2001, 06:47:39 PM: The design of the box is sweet :)

Much better than gamecubes. But controller and graphics demos - Yuk...

Post by: Hawke on January 07, 2001, 04:01:22 AM: Looks more like a car radiator... :) Cool anyways, as long as it plays decent games.

The controller looks horrible though. Like a cheap DC controller rip-off PC peripheral. How it handles is another story...

Post by: Darth Joyda on January 07, 2001, 04:04:02 AM: Hmmm... It is quite cool, but I still hate that lime color and I still say that it was what I expected it to be.

Nothing spectacular, just a pile of copied stuff :)

But hey, so we can say about every console...

Post by: on January 07, 2001, 04:28:19 AM: Looking form the controllers, the size of the X Box seems just about the same as PSX, just a bit taller, doncha\' think?

"does the whole "x" lid lift up to insert a disk? hmmm"

hehe, that would be pretty cool! we should ask them to make a LaserDisc console out of it, they sure have the space...;)
