With the demise of the HP and Linksys extenders we're pretty much back to having the Xbox 360 as our only extender solution, D-link hasn't killed theirs yet but I fully expect that they will.  The issue with this is mostly noise.  I'm having to use mine in my living room right now while our main media center is out of commission, and even my wife says the Xbox is louder then the full blown PC we normally use.

A-Tech Fabrication has announced a new case called the HeatSync Three-sixty that will make the 360 virtually silent, and it looks great!

HeatSync Three-Sixty Features:

• 100% made in the USA

• Outstanding workmanship and finish quality

• Heavy-duty chassis constructed from heat-treated aircraft quality aluminum

• Modular heatsink system increases performance and functionality 

• Large aluminum fins optimize natural convection cooling
• Highly efficient HeatSync^® CPU cooling system transfers heat directly into chassis
• Integrated HeatSync^® GPU video cooling system

• DVD Drive Isolation System to eliminate noise from vibrations

• Machined billet aluminum power, reset, and eject buttons

• Infrared receiver and Wireless controller port built into faceplate

• Thermally controlled exhaust fan -normally OFF

• Green power and controller status LED's

• Standard black anodized aluminum finish on chassis

• Dimensions - 17.50" wide x 9.25" deep x 3.25" high (+ 0.31" with feet)

Options Include:

• Pre-built system including Xbox 360^TM components

• Memory card ports

• Wired controller ports

• (2U) one-piece rack mount faceplate

As of now, there is no mention of price and the order form is not yet online but if it's reasonable I'll be buying 1 for sure! Check out all the pics and details here.
