I don't understand the VGA box, at least for the 360. Just buying the VGA cable that is made for it is cheaper, and will look better. I guess I could see it being used for the Wii and Xbox, since they don't have a way to output to a monitor (I know there's a hack for the Xbox1, but some people won't go to all that trouble), but otherwise this seems pretty lame.

Oh well, at least it isn't that expensive.

I hope for them they make the Hot Rock case quality not suck as much as their other cases! or else...

really, once you've installed it it's all great but you can't open it up, yes you read it good: can't open up again! at least not without breaking or bending it. I had to crack my Chameleon case in order to get it open! I'm an expert in unlocking original cases, but these cases are not matching to the OEM case as what they say.

unnessacery clutter. have a feeling build quality will be poor. doesnt appeal to me in the very least. not trying to flame. just my opinion, which in this case, is a negative one.

wow, i was really confused at first because i didn't see that this was two products listed and thought that there was a "universal" console case for those 4 consoles listed with LED thermometer control and VGA capabilities.

1.  i will be curious to see the case and how well the LED will look/function

2.  the vga box looks decent, but all we have it a prototypic sketch and will have to see the build quality and such before anyone can make conclusions - at least the price looks good

$65 for a 1080p upscaler? I was looking into the Gefen HD Scaler - I think it handles 3 sources. Its around $300US. The Gefen's been having some issues with picture quality so I'd like to see how a $65 scaler will perform.

Not to mention trying to scale a Wii to 1080p.

I think I'll wait for the review. Seeing how the XPFS has sucked donkey nuts, I'll wait and see.

its not an upscaler, its a converter. If console output is 480p, it will display 640x480, if its 720p it will display 1280x720 and if its 1080p it will dispaly 1920x1200. Its that simple. I wonder how it would look a 480p wii on a 1680x1050 monitor...
