No need to be negative ... I'm sure the OP is aware that this is overkill for the 360, and is most likely doing this for the fun and experience of the project.
Thank you for your comment, but I have hardly invested money, because I the water cooling still lie has, as well as the Perspex parts. I have also not bought the fans .
Till present the project cost grad sometimes 70 euros for the box JTAG incl. JTAG Mod. Xbox is reballed.
It gives pleasure to pull something like that by and later can insert in the case the Xbox Slim if one really liked to change.
The case does not walk in the garbage if the Xbox has retired. There are still many other models.
Greetings

Its extreme for Xtreme Systems
I've enjoyed seeing the updates, so keep them comming. Next I'd like to see more mods on the PS3 (slim or original) as well as the Wii. Maybe a mod that puts them all in one cool looking/running case.
At Xtremesystems.org we don't help you save money on your cooling gear, instead we try to make you feel better about the insane ammount you've spent.
If I have this Mod ready, I will alter a PS3 on water cooling. If a specially case becomes though, but this makes no difference. But first I will finish this Mod. Has got to me old with 40 gb hard disk from ebay.
I've only seen a couple of PS3 water cooled mods, they are pretty rare. The PS3 (original and slim) and Wii both run cool enough that very few people considered doing it just for the fun of it. The 360 was thought to need it because of the heat issues, but its not the CPU/GPU that needs the cooling. It was the heat on the mobo and the way it was stressed out in the case that caused so many RRoD's, as well as a string of PSU issues. Thats why the "X" mod saved so many original and second edition 360's. But its still cool to see them get the water cooling makeover, as its a nice break from the look of the factory issued model.
I'll be looking forward to seeing what you can do with a PS3. ^_^

This is a neat project that I'm waiting to see completed but I have 1 question.
Why isn't this in the build log section?
Circles SucQ!
If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
Wow its first time hearing about watercooled xbox
Really cool project, love the colour scheme! I've Got a flashed 360 HDMI sitting around I may very well do something similar, inspired!

This is perfect OK. I have already thought to me like you mean it. I will keep an eye on this anyway, the xenon is anyhow reballed, will look to me at this sometimes.
Some new pictures
This is not possible, because you can see the place in the window ... So i must think another method. I think i painted the PSU in white???

great work there. simply extreme
Moving to worklog section ...
I 'spent' all kings of money and enjoyed every second of it, nothing quite like a dining room table strewn with parts, fittings, tubes and creative juices. Mine ran for 3-4 years and i just decommissioned it this weekend (still fully functional) because my gf bought me new design 360 from the company store (which i have to say runs a lot better than the old design - faster load times, quieter). To the OP - don't listen to the haters, its not always about the money or the end-result, have fun and go extreme.
F***ing gorgeous man. Don't listen to the guys saying you're wasting money. If spending this much for the case and cooling wasn't a problem, buying a new Xbox shouldn't be a huge set-back. Plus, you've got the power of good looks on your side.
Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.
Thank you

Now more updates and new impressions
I have already integrated the watercooling components and now i have order a hdmi cable for the xbox 360 mainboard.
The cooling water is feser lquid in neon green, i think that is the perfect colour for an xbox 360 mod
And now pictures:
Best regards
Looking great, GJ!

Thank you Guy
Forwards I leave both tubes specially a little longer because I wanted to insert one more hard disk with suitable water cooler inside. After than i sleeve some cables and I will make the side parts and trim dark Perspex records and then insert. It probably becomes an inlay window. With light light-permeable and if the light is over, one is not able to look in the case. I think that looks good. I must varnish whole then still in complete silence, but in the next time i will ready the front.
