... and I have some information that will tickle you all. My last Elite was incredibly loud, both the fans were loud, and the drive was horrendous in games. It had Nidec fans and a BenQ drive, ultimately I had to take it back as it overheated a couple of times (2 red lights, screen tearing). I now have my replacement, and it once again has Nidec fans, and a BenQ drive, but it is so much more quiet; the fans are equivalent to PS3 eg. you can no longer hear them watching movies or on the dash, and the drive is much quieter, unhearable or DVD's, and only moderately loud on games. Also another worthy point is that the air being released is definitely cooler than any 360 i've used to date.
I'm afraid this blows the whole "certain makes of fans/drives are quiter" theory out the window, as both my Elites had the same innards, but this new one is by far quieter.
