We have lift off!
Following on from our First Look at the aestitically pleasing liquid cooling system by Cool It systems, it seems that other companies and individuals are looking into ways of controlling the noise levels made by the 360 hard drive.
The guys from Water Cooling.com have made a fine attempt in reducing these noise levels by ripping the 360 apart, voiding the warranty of course and creating what looks like a rocket propelled space-ship!
Of course, we wouldn't recommend ripping your Xbox apart, but you've got to take your hats off to these guys for ingenuity.
10 seconds to lift off!The following components were used in the project:
Waterblock
- 1x Aluminium flat bar
- 5x 1/8” BSP blanking plugs

It was an ambitious project that appearsto have been a great success, the designer said, " With the fans removed the noise level has been cut right down."
