CES 2006: CoolIT Liquid-Chilled Xbox 360

' Back in Decemeber 05 we submit a News Article already which wrote about the CoolIT Systems Retrofit Liquid-Chilled Cooling System for Xbox 360. The guys over at hexus.net went to CES 2006 and had a chance to actually get their hands on the real thing '

The first thing to be aware of is that this isn't just a bolt-on-the-side extra for you Xbox 360, this is a serious case mod as all the Xbox 360 casing under that shiny blue CoolIt casing isn't there anymore... that's right kids, this thing is set into the Xbox 360 meaning that pretty much half the side case is now gone... a fair chunk from the underside is missing too to allow for the pipework.



Looking at these pics you'd be right in thinking that this is a pretty serious mod and hacking into your Xbox 360 with a Dremel to fit a cooler is something that you might think is best left to those that know what they're doing. That's what the CoolIt guys think too so you won't have to fit it yourself, CoolIt are working right now to train up a bunch of fitters which you'd send your Xbox 360 to for fitting. Of course, your warranty is still voided, regardless of who chops your Xbox 360 up, but at least this way you know it won't blow the thing up if a professional does the job.
