Water + 360 = Cool

Behold the internally water cooled 360. As noted by Xbox-Scene, there have been other -- more Frankensteinian -- water cooled 360s, but this is the first to be completely internal. All the hardware is inside the case itself. No easy task, to be sure. Dano2k0, creator of the mod, explains his inspiration:
"It had been talked about in the past about having a complete internal watercooling system and everyone doubted it would ever be possible due to the lack of space. This is when i got the idea of pulling off the impossible, and it hit my requirements perfect, a completly [sic] portable solution with the cooling needs i was after, in the exact same original sized case."
One time, I tried to cool my 360 by pouring water into the disc drive ... it didn't work.

This is pretty cool, but I'm more wowed by the case mods than the actual water cooling work. With Intel's new first-party water cooling device it'll be interesting to see what happens with next generation systems and whether or not water-cooling in consumer electronics becomes a reality. The way the heat is going up on some of these setups I wouldn't be suprised.
I'm waiting for somebody to drop an LCD on the side of one of these things...then I'll be impressed.

There are good reasons why consumer electronics don't have water cooling. I hope it never becomes a reality. IIRC the 360 already has heatpipe cooling, as do many laptops. I'd prefer that solution, if only for relability.

I did the same thing! Except I used Kool Aid.
