Kinda an aside, are your 360s really loud? People in my group call them "the howlers". They make more noise than much larger boxes. I put in two (not for firewalls), and they both sound exactly the same so I am sure it's not a bad fan. I was considering them for platforms for my next FW upgrade, but I am not sure I want that much more noise in my server room.
just wondering.
