So the Xbox doesn't shut off fully, I don't think. I guess it stays in some kind of standby mode? So now I have to leave it unplugged when not in use. I did buy a cap kit, but haven't got around to doing that yet. I'm hoping the whine goes away after the recap.

Just remembering your power supply noise. One of my favorite things about the OGX is how modular & PC-like it is. I've been considering buying a spare power supply and DVD drive to keep the system alive for years to come. The DVD drive is plug and play across all models. While the PSU is modular, it is mobo revision specific. Seems to vary from $20 - $40 depending on version.

Thanks for all the links! Will save. Going to enjoy the current mod and games for a bit, but will come in handy.

May try some Insignia and Xbox live "reboot" this coming week.
