    Hi All

    Just before christmas I got the two rings of death on my xbox, and promptly posted it off to xbox in germany.

    In the meantime I bought another one to tie me over the christmas.

    Now Ive my old xbox back all fixed with new motherboard, fans and dvd drive.

    Which one would you sell off ???

    Manufacturing date of the old system is 11/07
    new system is 10/08

    Based on my experience, I'd sell the newer one.

    I got RROD last year, sent my 360 off and it's been rock solid since. And quieter too.

    And you'll get more money for your newer box with receipt.

    Have the new fans affected the noise level of the 360??

    The noise level would certainly be a deciding factor plus with the new motherboard you know it was dealt with, i.e. repaird by hand, and not an assembly-line robot.

    Depends if one of them uses the jasper chipset. Google it, check them and keep the one using jasper. Failing that I'd keep them both, since one or both will eventually die! :)

    Well, if it was me, and I could afford to keep both, I would! :D

    a.) For contingency, in case one of them breaks.

    b.) So I can hook one up to the TV in the bedroom (though the wife probably wouldn't be to impressed with that, so not sure I could get away with it...! :p)

    I'd give that a shot too.

    I got another newer version when mine RROD'd and kept it for myself, sold the other one to my brother.

    When he's playing a game sometimes it won't read the disk and this happens on brand new games too even though they said they put a new DVD drive in it.

    If you had to get rid of one sell the old one.

    Old one might not have HDMI but the new one definitely will.
