Lian Li has a replacement case, but you need to mount all the stuff into it, which can be daunting for some.

Ok, I spent the evening rebuilding our XBOX360. This makes basically the second one I've had to recover from the stupid RROD. The thing that kills me everytime I pull one of these f'ing things apart is how absolutely disasterous Microsoft's cooling system for this thing is. If you haven't seen the guts of the XBOX360, and you take a look, you almost wonder how this thing doesn't blow up right off the bat. There are of course options; at this point you can go grab something like a Whisper fan set, etc. which helps - by replacing the rear internal fans. But what really needs to happen is that at some point, someone should come out with a complete replacement HSF solution for MS's piece of complete trash. Last year, there was some talk about this from Thermalright, but it hasn't appeared. I can grasp that MS is concerned that a solution that focused on a CPU-fan setup could result in fan failure and instant machine death. But, the rear fan assembly they currently use is not much better.. and as it starts, it's a far worse cooling solution. Just a rant.
