I have created a website with HTML code format for the upcoming release of the XBOX 360, and i want all NZXT members to go to it. Also reply back to this thread and rate my site.
Here is the link:

YEAH FIRST VOTE!

___________

Now, the site:
Easy to use. Could go for a change of font, but other then that its rather good. Not Pro, but good all the same.

I will advise more later.

See...now I'm even more skeptical about the 360...
The controller....i like the power on from the controller but does that work in the opposite way too, what happens if you slip and hit that button instead of the start button when you wanna pause and end up turning it off....
Usb ports? why? the site says, "And for all of you with MP3 Players,PSP,other USB devices, Xbox 360 has you covered." Covered for what exactly? only thing I can think of is for charging the ipods...
cooling: water cooling in a console is a bad bad bad idea from my pov, it's space consuming and moving it would be crazy, especially from the way a majority of users "take care" of their consoles...


i'm undecided

dude, it looks like you're copying & pasting a lot of the descriptions straight from other sources. I would be EXTREMELY careful about doing this if I were you; be sure to properly cite sources for your information, or your site could be shut down. Or worse: I've heard of little 8-yr-old girls getting subpoenaed to court for software piracy, so.... yeah, be careful. Cite your sources.

i think the poll should have had an option that said, ive already spent loads on my computer and dont really want to buy a next gen console, + the TVs all the way downstairs.

sites not to bad imo just needs either an interesting font, or an interesting background, white is kind of plain.

Anarchy, I think some of this stuff u got was from bogus sites. I have not once heard of there being a dvd-rw dl in the 360. And the usb will also be for KBs and things, and theres a port on the 360 controller for that. And I remember seeing them say that on the Premere showing of it.

But nice site though...

first. i dont not copy and paste, i find info and alter it. Then the xbox 360 wont be water cooled i have to change that. its white because the xbox 360 theme is white. it will have dvd dl because there are many interviews where they mention it. and the price of the xbox is way better compared to that of a pc with that kind of gaming potential. i got a nice 32inch hdtv for $275 not flat but at least i dont have to be right infront of it. computer lcd screens ruin vision!!! and im a big gundam fan and that new gundam game they're making for the 360 looks awsome.

"computer lcd screens ruin vision!!!"

rubbish! TFTs are far better for your eyes than any CRT!

i can sit in front of my CRT TV downstairs for about 1 hour maybe 2 before my eyes start to water playing on my xbox. then i come up here and i can be on my computer looking at this screen til 4 in the moring, 8 hours straight! and nothing!

CRTs are far worse for your eyes than TFTs.


then make it white with those xbox 360 theme green semi circles through it, that would be the 360 theme not just white.

EVERYONE knows computer LCD screens ruin your vision, cuz they suck. that's why i got a 19" CRT. it's massive, but delivers better picture quality.

and a good gundam game? there hasn't been a good one since the Japanese release of Zeta Gundam for SNES, back in like '89 or something.

exitalis: LCD's do not use TFTs. 'TFT' is 'thin film transistor,' a technology still in the works. it'll be used with OLED technology, which WILL replace LCD. LCD is something completeley different than OLED or TFT.

http://www.howstuffworks.com

read: how OLED works

that's my source for the info. now i don't know if TFTs will be better on human eyes, but i do believe you are correct: LCDs are generally better on human eyes than CRTs (computer monitors, TVs). OLEDs may be better still, but obviously that remains to be seen.

then i suggest you read your own sources:

"Active Matrix
Active-matrix LCDs depend on thin film transistors (TFT). Basically, TFTs are tiny switching transistors and capacitors. They are arranged in a matrix on a glass substrate. To address a particular pixel, the proper row is switched on, and then a charge is sent down the correct column. Since all of the other rows that the column intersects are turned off, only the capacitor at the designated pixel receives a charge. The capacitor is able to hold the charge until the next refresh cycle. And if we carefully control the amount of voltage supplied to a crystal, we can make it untwist only enough to allow some light through.

By doing this in very exact, very small increments, LCDs can create a gray scale. Most displays today offer 256 levels of brightness per pixel."

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/lcd8.htm

whilst CRTs might have a better technical image quality for people like graphics artists who need life like colours. For people like yourself they dont, get a good TF next to a CRT and watch a film on one then the other and i rekon you will think it looks nicer on the TFT, if only because your CRT is configured for general computing/gaming, ie its got quite high brightness.

I really dont think and lcd screen f*cks up your gaming or sux cause I have one.
When gaming you might have a slighty better graphics. but only people who know every pixel in a map by heart and can see when a pixel doenst belong there that an enemy is over there, then you might say get a CRT. but because this is a rare experience:
