lol hey everyone it's me halo3, i just finished my latest project, a water cooled xbox 360. Now sure people have water cooled 360s in the past ok, but this is the ultimate and i made sure. I got a custom water block, industrial pump, huge industrial radiator, and huge industrial fan. The water flows 6X through the radiator which is about 1 1/2 foot by 6 inches, and a about 8 in 12V industrial fan is blowing on it. Its super cool, and the loading time is 3X faster, and the bottom of the case feels like you just turned it on 30 secs ago. The pic below are the first test, i'm gonna fix the whole in the case, add the rest of the case and take temps ect.

Update: after running it for about an hour its at 28C=82.4F very slightly above room temp :-)

Get ready to cry.
That is one of the messiest Water Cooling jobs I have seen. Green UV coolant is hmm.. last I checked, $4.95 a bottle? Koolance has a kit available, although the Rad is still a bit large (http://www.koolance....?product_id=328). Quite frankly, you could probably use a fairly low power rad instead, as the 360 is a decently low heat device. Tbh, I don't even think water cooling is nessesary for a 360, if yours is heating up, do what many do and add a fan to the 360.

The xbox was "done" as soon as you bought it.
Distilled water is not a conductor.

Yeah, but then again, its small enough to be portable. Post l/m and we'll see if its better.

Hose Clamps.. like the ones I used to fix my trucks rad today? You shouldn't need them, with nozzles.

I didn't make this thing to be portable, i made it for results ; and yeah hose clamps its just an added layer of security.
