Water Cooling an Xbox 360

An anonymous reader writes "HardOCP has done it once again. They have an article running down the process of water cooling an Xbox 360, and with surprising effectiveness and remarkable styling." From the article: "We had plans to water cool an Xbox 360 for over a year now. Little did we know that not only will this water cooling project be more fun than the original, but it may even be practical. Imagine that. With reports of heat related issues and a heat sink that can get almost too hot to touch after marathon gaming sessions, the Xbox 360 water cooling project now had a sense of purpose. We bought a retail Xbox 360 specifically for this project. The minute we got it back to the [H] labs we tore into it and, with a little help from the fine folks at Koolance, we have put together a water cooling solution that will handle anything the Xbox 360 can throw at it and literally knock your socks off." Actual implimentation with hand-holding. Hexus.net was discussing a kit to do this a few days ago.

    I tell people who consider buying a Disc scratching, power brick overheating, no-games-included, Xbox 1 incompatible, Xbox 360 to go jump in a lake.

    Are video games that important to people that they need the newest console when there are already more games made than you could play in a year for every other console plus computers, and you'd spend less money buying all of them than an Xbox 360 with games? [Ok that last bit was a little exageration, to rile up your blood.]
