Watercooling the XBox 360

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the staying-cool dept.

Steve from Hexus writes "Steering clear of jokes about overheating power supplies, one company is claiming to have constructed a watercooling kit for the XBox 360. HEXUS.gaming has obtained pictures of the product, seemingly attached to an XBox 360, though how it works and how it is installed remains something of a mystery."

    Slap a stick on lexan cube and set it next to an XBox and call it a XBox Microwave.

    Let's just say that article is rather light on details, the story summary pretty much is everything minus pictures.

      Steam? Don't you mean Xbox Live?

    360's DVD player is slightly louder than a 757. Was watching Serenity and I found myself wondering why I could hear the drone of the ship's in every scene. Then I watched Mel Brooks' Silent Movie and found myself wondering why I could STILL hear Serenity's engines in every scene. The cooling system, however, is almost silent.

    This acticle was a waste of time. I cannot believe it was put on /. It contains two similar pictures with no descriptions. Talk about brevity, the whole article is missing!!

    One, why is this news?

    Second of all... whats the point? I'm pretty sure Microsoft is handling the cooling issues well, and problems have only been reported in a small number of instances. I for one think buying this would be a big waste of money.

    It's not that there's a black box, but what's inside it. It could be a water pump, heatsink, and fan; it could be a leprechaun with a pot of gold; it could be ninja gerbils wielding nunchuks! Think of the possibilities!

    Hexus probably bought x number of slashvertisements for the year. Now that it's the final day, Steve is reminding the "editors" that he's still owed y ads.
