Digg this story

 

i have been toying with the idea of gettin one of these ever since my xbox came back from getting the RROD repaired it now sounds like a jet fighter!
i think some pics of the xbox installed are needed

 

There'll be more coming, don't worry.

OT: I can't wait for this - I might finally grab myself a 360 and get that badboy in a pimped out watercooled XB01.

 

i want to see the temp hopfully in the next review --- is it really worth 60'bucks'!!

 

oops missed the end, too much scan reading..

 

How long before microsquish catches the hint and makes a version of their own?

 

Think its time to install some interal watercooling and bring on the new update to play games from the HDD

 

I must say I actually prefer the look of the elite to that, I don't like the front grill, bit meh IMO.

 

i like the idea of after market cases for the 360, but im sorry, if it destroys my rrod warranty.... without some significant evidence that this case prevents the probleme entirely, im keeping it in its boilersuit for the time being.

i also agree, the elite looks better... with so many grilles on that thing, the dust intake is gonna be immense!

 

I agree, a bit meh...

 

From what Doug says, it's the mobo warping thanks to the X-clamps on the heatsink when it gets too hot. Replace those and it works fine, keep it cool, and it shouldn't warp.

 

I could only find one water block/kit for the 360... the Innovatek X-Matic. Any chance you guys could do some benchmarks... Stock 360 In Original Case vs. Stock 360 Cooling in Lian-Li vs. Water cooled in Lian-Li ?

It looks very spacious inside,maybe mod a PC into it

 

From the videos of the new dash update I have seen, it appears you will be able to copy the game to the HDD, you only need to have the game disc in for verification then will load from the HDD

OMG:

That is so amazingly, incredibly, astoundingly BORING.

All that waiting, and build up, and this is the result.

Sheesh, wake me up when someone makes an interesting case.

 

Urgh!! I hate it when companies do this, it's complete BS.

 

im sorry but you shouldnt have to buy a new case for a console to make it more reliable. if people just want the xbox to looks "cool" then fair enough but if someone was to buy this for the sole purpose of avoiding the RROD , its wrong and customers shouldnt have to deal with this :/

 

You don't need to, I've done just fine for the last 2 and a bit years.
