Fully Internal Water-cooled Xbox 360

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the aggressive-not-passive dept.

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."

    For any slashdot links a quick and easy way around the "Websense" is to just use Mirrordot. It is not blocked by Websense and lets you view the articles that are linked to from /.

    It works for me... Hope it helps you too...

    Sorry for being offtopic Mods..

    Because the 360 has heat problems. The heat problem is so bad that 3rd parties make these fan units to attach to the 360 fans

    ModChips are not illegal because they violate any hardware license agreement. Unlike software which you typically buy a license to use (MS/Apple/etc. own the software, and sell you a license to use it - you own nothing), you typically buy hardware (you own you Xbox/PowerBook/OptiPlex/etc.).

    ModChips are illegal because they are promoted as being useful for circumventing copyright (i.e. "Buy this ModChip and play burned games!"). In Australia, ModChips are legal if they are only promoted for the purposes of defeating region coding (i.e. "Buy this ModChip and play imported Japanese games!").

    Retrofitted water cooling isn't promoted as being useful for circumventing copyright, and I can't think of any way it possibly could be used for circumventing copyright. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it.

    Your post is not insightful, it is ignorant.
