    Im actually reaching the "pics or she's not real" level of interest.
    For a watercooled games console. I may now kill myself.

    Looks good, never thought about modding the console like that, but goot thinking!

    How much did it cost for everything?

    Also, will it fit back into the 360 casing, or will you need a custom case too?

    Will calculate everything later today, not cheap and that's for sure. :p

    It'll fit back into the case just fine.

    Waiting on the tubiong adaptors, will fire it up as soon as they arrive. Decided to paint it too, thinking of putting a window on the case as well as the DVD drive.

    Interesting project. If I had the cash for a second 360 it'd be something to try.

    I did this last year on a very early XB360 unit, which died during the "proceedure" (too much pressure on the GPU or simply another 3 Red Ring death, not sure). However I went out and got another and did it fairly prompt.

    I used the Zalman Reserator (sp?), so I got a cool blue tower beside the XB and no fan noise (left fans connected but they only spin at idle speed). The key was not using the rear screws on the dvd drive to allow it to sit at an angle (clamping it down on all sides with the screws is too much pressure on the waterblock underneath).

    I cooled both the CPU and GPU in series btw. Makes no noise other than DVD drive, water pump runs 24/7.

    I've still not done anything with the case or DVD drive so I'm holding off putting it all back together. It's functioning so that's all that matters for the moment.
