X-Box Pics More Of \'em
« 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 noise depends from the funs and the Disk driver(sound of the disk spinning),It has nothing to do with theprocesor

Maybe not as loud as a normal pc but it\'ll still be very loud.
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.

I doubt the XBox will be noisy. Afterall, portable PCs contain DVD drives, hard disks, Pentium processors etc, and yet most laptops are very quite!

Nope, the CD tray is the thing that has \'XBOX\' printed on it.

Looks alright, nothing amazing or original. I do like the green sphere thing on the top though.

there is a dvd drive but you have to get a special remote/software package to allow it to play movies.
The games can be on dvd and the system can use a dvd drive without supperting movies.

The design of the box is sweet :)

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

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...

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...

Looking form the controllers, the size of the X Box seems just about the same as PSX, just a bit taller, doncha\' think?

saw this post earlier in this thread:

"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...;)
