The news comes as a surprise to no one. It's just a matter of time before more and more developers turn their heads towards the new consoles.

Gelid Black Edition
The gang at FrostyTech had a lot of nice things to say about the Gelid Black Edition heatpipe HSF today. If you are in the market for a new cooler, this might be the one you are looking for.
Gelid's 'the Black Edition' heatsink stands 161mm tall and weighs a modest 990grams. The heatsink has a rather boxy footprint of 126x110mm which encompasses twin 32mm-thick aluminum fin stacks and a pair of mismatched vaneaxial fans. Nestled between the aluminum towers is a 'Silent 12 PWM' 25x120mm fan and strapped to the outside of the heatsink is a thin, 'Slim 12 PWM' 15x120mm fan. Despite the size differences, both fans rotate at around ~1600RPM to 750RPM.

Corsair Obsidian Series 350D
The crew at ocaholic have the Corsair Obsidian Series 350D case strapped to the test bench today. If you want a miniature version of the 900D, this is the case you are looking for.
With the Obsidian Series 350D, Corsair has an mATX case in its portfolio, which should features a well thought interior as well as a decent exterior. Other than that also the price should be on a reasonable level. Overall this sounds like an interesting combination, which is making us curious.

Microsoft's IllumiRoom Unlikely To Be Greenlit
I don't know about you but I actually liked this idea. Too bad they could figure out a way to make it cost effective.
"I wouldn't expect you'll see that," Penello said. "It's very, very cool tech but it's, like, for a consumer, it requires projectors and things. It's really super-neat if you're in the lab and you've got Microsoft money and you could totally set up this awesome lab, but... we looked at it, but for an average customer it's, like, thousands of dollars [for the set up]."
