Dude, its still going to be the same size and just as noisy ;)
Actually depends when you bought your original xbox. Did you know the first batch that came out actually had internal fans, but v1.1 of the xbox which was released a few months later had heatsyncs instead?
I think thats right anyway

It is noisy as fuck.
And is getting slower.
The lens on the disk player is getting bad and I doubt it will last 6 months more.
So for 249$ Canadian, the system I posted is a hell of a deal.
I sell my Xbox for 100$ with 1 fat controller.
I sell Fable ( 40$) and Crimson Skies for (15$)
and I just got a new system with a controller for 100$

yeah.
My fan is fucked up.
I bought the first ones to come out.
The newer ones also have better DVD players and HD's.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
There is this company called Colorware that can either sell you consoles that are different colors or could color one that you send in. The problem is that they are quite expensive. I'd personally wait until the XBox 2 comes out and not worry about getting an XBox now. The last I've heard the XBox 2 was supposed to be a suprise at the E3 conference in January but knowing Mickeysoft I don't know if that date should be believeable. I was reading that they are having problems retaining their backwards compatability on the XBox 2 with XBox games. Anyway, the site for Colorware is http://www.colorwarepc.com/products/select_console.aspx I chose a cheaper solution and got myself a nice decal for my PS2. Head on over to Decal Girl (http://www.decalgirl.com) and check out their selection.

Xbox 2 will be backwards compatable, it would be utterly stupid if the big M didnt have this feature.
The reason it was such an issue is because for Xbox 2, Microsoft have ditched nvidia and are going with ATI for the graphics, and i think they ditched Intel as well. Which basically means that alot of the new hardware might find it difficult to emulate the old hardware for the old games. Maybe anyway.
And yeah, they say it will be viewable at the CES in early January.

Yeah that's exactly the problem. They dumped NVidia and Intel and now they are going with an ATI/PPC combo. I'm not suprised they are going to have problems with backward compatability. Since the only way they would be able to remain backwards compatible is with an XBox emulator running on the XBox 2 they are seriously considering dropping backwards compatability because of speed issues. Anway, here's the article I saw on-line: http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=7961
