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."

Ah geeze

Figured that with no decent games for the Xbox360, people need to find SOMETHING fun to do with them.

Outsourced design

[peterfa]

Maybe the reason why the X-Box 360 gets too hot is because Microsoft didn't design it themselves, rather, they outsourced the development to India.

I'm sorry to burst your fairytale fantasy, but any other console has been a small computer in disguise too. Your beloved Nintendo or Sony or whatever don't run on magic and pixie dust either, but, guess what? Use a CPU, a graphics card, RAM, etc.

But it's a bulk-sales MIPS chip, a customized graphics card (or in the case of the PS2, nothing we'd conventionally recognize as a graphics card at all), specialized RAM sometimes fundamentally different from the stuff you go and buy at a store. The difference between a pc and a console is nothing less than the difference between a computer and an embedded system. Your car's got lots of embedded processors, but it isn't a PC anymore than a Gamecube is. Just because it can run Linux doesn't make it the same as a PC.

Do you have any idea what separates the design of a dedicated console like the PS2 or XBox 360 from something like a PC with a funny casemod, or the original XBox? Do you have any idea what console design entails at all? Did you even read the post you're replying to?

Oh yes, I'm sure that _you_ could single handedly emulate every single game in existance, on a different CPU and a different graphics chip and all.

Nobody cares about Microsoft's excuses. Excuses only matter in arguments on internet message boards. In the real world, what matters is, can you deliver on the product you sell or not. Microsoft didn't deliver on backward compatibility on the XBox 360. Period. Sony delivered on backward compatibility on the PS2, Nintendo delivered on backward compatibility on the GBA and DS, Nintendo is set to deliver on GC backward compatibility with the Wii, and we'll see what Sony does with backward compatibility on the PS3. I'm not interested in buying excuses. I want to buy things that work.

Great idea. Don't buy a console for it's games, buy it based on how it performs encased in lexan! No wonder you bought a Gamecube, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!

Given the discontent that is flying around the PS3 camp at the minute I can only see the 360 getting more and more reverent in its status. Its not at the level to beat the Wiiiiiiiiiii love out there at the minute...but hell...its fast catching up and could over take the PS3.
