Attendees of Microsoft's E3 media briefing reacted to the news that they'd all get their hands on a free, slimmed-down Xbox 360 in peculiar ways. For instance, one writer at AnandTech apparently reacted with excitement -- not because he'd be getting the new model at no cost, but because it he couldn't wait to completely dismember it.

You can check out the pictorial fruits of AnandTech's labor over on their site, and glimpse some of the technology that powers Valhalla. The highlight of this teardown? We finally get to see the single chip (teased by the motherboard we had Ben Heck look at earlier this year) that houses the 360's CPU, GPU, and eDRAM, which can all be cooled by a single, more powerful fan. When you turn on your new 360 and it doesn't sound like a pair of jet engines, you've got this little guy to thank.
