Yes, the whole works well made, it looks good, and it is indeed audible but there are louder and quieter intercooler on the market. So priced the Intercoller is impressive, with the idea to let the air flow out to the front, instead of just like any other to continue since, or upwards (depending on how the Xbox 360 is standing or lying) is a good idea, as this is my 360 rather cramped in the room wall, but that the warm air flows away vorme is the risk of overheating is no longer given. I can therefore recommend the Intercooler for anyone who like me want to stow the Xbox cramped in the room wall.
