Fully Internal Water-cooled Xbox 360

NiteStar writes "Dano2k0 created a fully internal water-cooled Xbox 360. Unlike previous water-cooled Xbox 360 mods, this one has everything inside the original Xbox 360 case, including the water reservoir and pump. Both CPU (Zern GPU block) and GPU (Koolance GPU-180-H06 block) are water-cooled, with internal Tank-o-Matic mini reservoir, 12v thermaltake pump and DD fill port on the plexi window. The case itself is also customized with a plexiglass grill and LEDs, and it's fully custom painted. The case mod will also be featured in the next edition of the Official Xbox Magazine UK."

    you'll spend all of your time playing stupid Xbox games instead of criticizing
    The World Most Dangerous (Ex) Cokehead.

    Hope this helps,

    anything to distract owners from the fact that they supported a convicted monopoly by buying it I guess.

    "Clearly someone at Microsoft severely fucked up if people are finding it necessary to modify their XBox 360's just so they don't overheat."

    The people who end up on the Xbox team at Microsoft are idiots.

    Yes, idiots. Anyone who has had to deal with them can attest to that sad fact. There is pretty much zero knowledge of the console gamer or market in the entire lot of them. And that lack of competence has gone back to before the first Xbox hit the store shelves. Who knows why.

    These are the same idiots whose entry into the console market was taking expensive commodity pc parts and shoving it into a big ugly black box.
    These are the same idiots who are trying to charge gamers 50 dollars a year just to play games online.
    These are the same idiots who can't even get more the a handful of games to be backwards compatible.
    These are the same idiots who have brought crashes and patches to console gaming.
    The 360 hardware is a fucking disaster even if you completely ignore the massive defect rate. It is essentially a 480p system trying to run games at 720p and ending up with jaggy and low frame rate messes.

    Idiots.

    It has prooven to be quite a challenge
    Stuff like this on message boards, Usenet and in e-mail is one thing. I've occasionally fat-fingered stuff myself. But in actual site-content articles, this stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me. And it's not a usage error (lead vs led). It's something a simple spellcheck could catch. Even so, a very nice mod.
