Chillin’ out the XBox 360
p2p news / p2pnet: Canada’s CoolIT Systems in Alberta, the next province over from p2pnet, say they have the world’s first truly liquid cooled Xbox 360. And that they’re going to prove it in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show from January 4 – 8, 2006.
A retrofitted Xbox 360 will be on display alongside a standard Xbox 360, " to demonstrate superiority for temperature, noise level and ultimate performance".
"Whether it’s a PC or Gaming Console, the avid gamer is constantly raising the bar for performance. I think it’s now obvious that only the most technologically advanced cooling system will be capable of keeping up with the heat production of today’s CPU’s and GPU’s," says cedo Geoff Lyon.
CoolIT Systems has, "designed a retrofit product that will transform the stock forced air cooling system with a state-of-the-art liquid chilled system that employs the exclusive MTEC technology pioneered by CoolIT Systems," it states.
But wait ! Ain’t that modding, an activity frowned upon by Bill and the Boyz?
heh
Meanwhile, it isn’t cheap. It’s $400, pretty much the same pri\ce as a higher end XBox 360.
Eight hundred bucks for a games system? And then the cost of the games?

“Eight hundred bucks for a games system? And then the cost of the games?”
And it still won’t play every game on the market so you’ll have to buy seperate boxes for those, and maybe seperate liquid cooling systems for the next gen consoles when they come out.
