Does anyone know what size the fans are inside the 360? and can i get new ones anywhere that have LED's in them. I think they are 60mm in size, but i'm not sure on this.

Ok, i found this interview on xbox.com with Jeff Reents and to quote part of it i found my answer.
"Xbox.com: What are the constraints of packing that power in a smaller case?
JR: Heat, for one. All that power generates a lot of heat, and you have to find a way to keep the unit cool. Fan size was interesting. We originally wanted to put in a single 80mm fan. But we couldn't fit it in the final form factor chassis.
We couldn't just go with one 60mm fan because it would not provide the required cooling—as the diameter of the fan increases the air flow performance per revolution increases exponentially. So we ended up putting in two 60mm fans, and we came up with a water-cooled heat sink as well for the CPU. We've actually applied for a patent on that one.
The water cooled term is being used loosely; actually it is a heat sink constructed of a copper base, aluminum stamped fins and copper heat pipe. The heat pipe contains water and a vacuum is pulled on the pipe prior to sealing.
Water under a vacuum boils at a lower temperature than at atmospheric pressure, so when the water boils and becomes steam, the steam rises and moves the heat higher into the fins where the air flow from the fans can extract the heat more efficiently. Once the steam is cooled it condenses and flows back down the pipe as water to the copper base of the heat sink, which is attached to the processor to continue the condensing and cooling processes"
Now, does anyone know anywhere good to get 60mm fans with LED's in them?? Red preferably!

Hey aweirdguy, where on earth did you find those fans?? If your going to be selling them can you tell me will you have red ones and what thickness will they be (jusr for reference) and when are you going to have them. If you can't get red ones can you at least tell me where you get them from in a PM, that way you won't divulge the source of your parts to the general public, but only to me.
thanks
