probably bigger and noiser(added fans for cooling) but alot more power full, hopefully a stainless steel case

Naw, stainless steel would be too heavy. A magnesium alloy or aluminium case (very light) would be awesome...but way hard to mod. It won't be bigger, the components don't get noisier the more powerful they are, because none of them have moving parts! The only thing with moving parts are the HDD (which it probably WILL NOT have, argh) and the DVD drive, which is not noisy anyway. Fans will most likely be quieter because they realize theese ones were WAAY too loud. Size will remain the same or smaller.

I thought it was already official that it was going to be smaller?

Smaller, Ipod sized hdd, 4 modified USB 2.0 ports. It will look like a smaller version of the xbox and my stylish.

Many places like Europe and Japan prefer much smaller appliances. TV's are smaller. Stereo's are smaller. Hell, fridges and washing machines are easily half the size of their American counterparts if not even smaller.

The XBox sold rather well in the states, but did not get global dominance. I think size was an issue for some people. M$ wants global dominance and will go for a smaller build.

Fan speed and noise will determine on layout, the ammount of heat generated by these new processors, etc. Losing a HDD helps. I think the system will use a system of flash memory for all storage to deter modders.
