Re: XBOX 1 - Quiet

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thats great. I tried the 2.5 drive thing, but the second hand one I
bought
was louder than the 3.5!!

What I would like to do is go for a solid state drive - need to wait for
8gb
of CF to drop in price, then CF-IDE conveter, and we're flying! (all my
media is on networked servers)
