Hi TTG, This is my first post but I've been looking at this site for months. On Christmas, I got the new 250GB Xbox 360 slim and the console has been completely silent until now. The power brick has started making a really loud blowing noise and I know that it's caused by the new fan that they built into it but is there any way that I can make it quieter? Its so loud that I can hear it even though I have my x11's on! Can I use the old power brick on my new console? :

Im pretty sure you cant use an old power brick because of different power levels needed to power it so just stick it out or buy a replacement??

It's the power brick. The new power brick has a built in fan that keeps it cool but is really loud!
