*/In the end, people who are going to buy the PC-XB01 already know
they're going to buy the PC-XB01. They're die hard Xbox 360 enthusiasts,
hardware tweakers whose motto in life is "warranty: VOID!" and those
wealthy enough to not worry if their Xbox red rings and they have to buy
a new one. It's all about having something unique, very moddable and
generally pretty good looking.

Sadly, the majority of people, even us included, don't fall into those
categories....OK, the warranty:void one is a given. But the fact remains
that for most people the loss of extended warranty by transplanting a
console from case to case is likely too much to lose.

The PC-XB01 is a unique and highly innovative product - one where no one
else has dared step, and for that we give Lian Li big kudos. We fully
expect there to be a PC-XB02 and even competing models from other
manufacturers before too long if this is really sucessful. The problem
is that £70 plus the sacrifice of our precious three year warranty won't
be worth the return for many, but for the very hardcore few; you stopped
reading at "installation guide"./
