It's called the IBM RISC processor

Which will be used in all next gen gaming consoles.

The new Xbox is using 3 PowerPC processors... probably G5 processors like those in the current PowerMacs and iMacs.

I have the exact CPU Cooling fan, its one of the best air cooling solutions eh? I was leaning towards a thermalright unit, but the zalman went on sale and I had to buy it. My case is a lot more subdued than yours. Here's a stock photo, but you get the idea. It was never meant to be a gaming rig really, just a HTPC with HD Tivo functions, but I never got around to buying a HDTV tuner card.

If you want some better videos of the 360 check out these two.

The download link is at the bottom, these videos are 100% better than that MTV crap special.
