Second that. It may be low noise and cool, but it looks horrible and is not practical at all.

The reserve was/is set at $1000 and the shipping is $50!!!!  What a joke.  However, there are plenty of fools who will pay it.

Plus,  I'd like to know how the hell one person got a hold of soooo many 360's.  I was lucky to get one, and just a core at that.

I don't even think the water cooling is on the processor.  It looks to be above the heatsink....either that or thats the tallest water CPU I have ever seen.  Ugggly.

Who ever ends up buying that is the biggest idiot on Ebay. Imagine carrying that piece of **** to one of your friends house with all of those tubes.

1st thing that comes to mind... GHETTO

I think it'd take less space if I ripped the radiator out of a crown victorian and set on top

Do you understand the purpose of a waterblock is to cool the CPU not the heatsink ? Looking by you work it appears you do not.



like i said this was my first setup. and if you would realize how hot the xbox gets I, nor you, probably, would have trusted the waterblock I had to cool it down enough. The water block I will be useing on my next setup will totally replace the heatsink, its just that the block is $250. I didn feel like paying that much money on my first setup. I understand the purpose of a waterblock, but you can use 1 thing to function in other ways, by the way its working to cool the heatsink off thus cooling the xbox off, this is what I was trying to do in the first place and I did it, so...

also about the pics, I would have put some in but I didnt have my camera during the build and I didnt feel like opening the xbox, I will do picks every 10 seconds durring my next build. Also I had it organized, I dont know what happened when I pushed submit. sorry


That was his reply, if he didnt have a heatsink at all, just one on the plexiglasss his system would be fried. Which would be as dumb as cutting a hole in your fan shroud..

Yes, this has been posted before, but in a different spot.  Anyway, that thing looks horrendous(that's an understatement; couldn't find any stronger words at the moment, lol)... but... I do give him at least some credibility for doing something like this, regardless of how it looks(if it works).  Something I sure as hell couldn't do  biggrin.gif

Instead of the water Cooled 360.   Trying purchasing a Notebook cooler no more than $30 like from Best Buy put it under the 360 and its guaranteed to cool your system from overheating keep in mind a lot of them uses the Usb Port in which the 360 has for Power.  I had overheating problems and tried this now Mine is doing fine I sat almost a Hr. thinking about an Idea and came up with this 1.  Any Way God Bless and Good Luck.


Since some overheat when placed on carpet, that's a good idea.
