Aftermarket Xbox 360 Case Reduces Noise, Heat and Design

If the Xbox 360 is simply too loud, hot and small for your taste, the Lian-Li PC-XB01 case mod can help. The case can silence the disc drive with sound-proofing foam and keep things cool with improved airflow, a single 120mm fan or optional water cooling system. Plus, it is four times the size of the 360—so you know it will take up that extra space you have been meaning to fill. A price point has not been made available, but we do know that you can get your hands on this hulking beast sometime this August. [Lian-Li via Xbox Scene via Hack a Day via Boing Boing Gadgets]

IBM Mixes Water, Chips to Make Supercomputer And Cook Dinner Too

It might sound like a risky idea, but IBM's new Power 575 supercomputer uses a new system of chip-level water-cooling to keep its processors chilled. Nicknamed "Hydro Cluster", the machine actually uses 448 of the new 5GHz POWER6 processors. They must kick out a hefty heat load because IBM thinks there're eco-friendly uses for the spare hot water. Much like the Swiss town pool mentioned the other day, the suggestion is that it could be used for heating people's homes or even for cooking. Check out the video to see how IBM plans to take water even closer to the chip surface in the future. More »

NVIDIA Motorcycle Casemod is the Fastest Computer On Two Wheels, Kinda

There are roadwarriors with their ultraportables and then there's master modder Dennis Ilyin, who took computing on the go literally with this ambitious motorcycle casemod. While the two-wheeled computing wonder lacks an engine, it more than makes up for it with massive LED-lit water tanks and what's sure to be ample processing power. The compu-bike was part of an NVIDIA-sponsored modding contest and actually came in second to this green thing. Fair? Unfair? Take a look at additional pics after the jump and you tell us.

Sapphire's HD 2900 Toxic Kit Cools Your Entire System

Now that ATI has unleashed its new video cards, Sapphire is stepping up to the plate with its forthcoming HD 2900 XT Toxic. The kit pairs two HD 2900 XT cards with a drive-bay-mounted water cooling system designed with its own reservoir, pump and radiator system. What's cool about the system is that it'll provide enough cooling to keep your video cards and your CPU from overheating (even if you decide to overclock the cards). Pricing hasn't been set yet, though the kit should be out in the next few weeks. – Louis Ramirez More »

Shuttle SXDi: Water-cooled PC with CrossFire and Flames

This is the new Shuttle SDXi and although it's a variation of the XPC, it's also one BMF. It comes loaded for speed with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2 GBytes Crucial Ballistix RAM and a 10.000rpm Western Digital Raptor hard drive. But more importantly, the painted flames on the sides are guaranteed to make it run even faster. Or something like that. More »

Bangkok Airport Ditches Air-Conditioning for Water-Cooling

The 44-year-in-the-making Suvarnabhumi airport will open up later this week, replacing Bangkok's old Don Muang airport. Most interesting, this airport has no air conditioning, rather it uses a very eco-friendly "co-generation plant" system, or water-cooling as I like to call it. Cold water flows directly underneath the floors on all levels, keeping the air a steady 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit up to 8.2 feet above the ground. More »

Water-Cooled Football Players

We post pretty regularly here about water-cooling something or other, but it usually has to do with PC or other electronic components. I was watching my 'Boys manhandle the 'Skins tonight and NBC talked a bit about the Cowboy's temperature management system. It is really just water cooled football players. The system, which can cool up to 12 players at a time, will flow chilled goodness through the pads of the football players. See, football isn't that barbaric, they have some pretty sweet tech, too. – Travis Hudson

Homemade Water-Cooled Xbox 360

Some guys mod their cars with rims and spoilers and others mod their computers and game consoles so as to stand out, look cool, or just be an ostentatious know-it-all. A gentleman by the name of Dano2k0 set out to water-cool his Xbox 360 in addition to adding some extra lights just for kicks. As it stands, the CPU and GPU of the system that Microsoft built are water-cooled with a Tank-o-Matic mini reservoir. But why stop there when you can install a plexiglass side panel, a 90mm radiator pane on said plexiglass panel and a custom cut DVD window? More »

Water Cooling and Power Supply All In One

Water cooling your PC isn't just for geeks any more, not with the Water Cowboy DC-WCP450, which brings on the coolness by teaming up the power supply with the radiator, pump and water tank. It's reportedly the first water cooling system built into a power supply. The 12cm fan keeps the power supply from getting too hot and at the same time cools off the water, which is moved down to a processor cooling unit through a couple of tubes. More »

Cool IT Water-Cooled Xbox 360

It is the time all of you have been waiting for: Here is a hands-on glimpse of the prototype water-cooled Xbox 360 from Cool IT. Cool IT is using a scaled down version of one of their water cooling systems designed for the PC. It uses three half-sized refrigerated chillers. It is actually integrated into the Microsoft thermal control system and cuts off all cooling options that the 360 has and allows the Cool IT system to take over. It is small, and they mentioned the final design will be more sleekly integrated into the 360 chassis. At a complete full gaming load the 360 runs at 39-41 degrees Celsius and while idle it will get down to 30 degrees. This is the initial outer picture and we will have more pictures of the specific internals later today. More »

Water-cooled Xbox 360

Overheating overschmeating is what Cool IT Systems has to say about the Xbox 360. From day one of the Xbox 360 release there have been complaints and issues that ultimately go back to overheating, so Cool IT has done something about this by installing a water cooling system in an Xbox 360 to be unveiled at CES 2006. Expect some very pictorial coverage of this next week from CES 2006. More »

NEC Radiator Cooled PC

Great idea from NEC to put a water cooling mechanism in its new Valuestar X PC, using a radiator similar to a car's. What you get from this newly announced computer is a nice, quiet computer powered by a Pentium D820 processor (2.80 GHz). The Valuestar includes three hard drives, a DVD DL burner, seven USB 2.0 ports and a built-in digital TV tuner, speakers and subwoofer. And when it breaks down you can just go to the local dump and scavenge a new radiator like I did with my Chevy Malibu in high school.

Zalman Reserator Pump Rattle Won't "Last Indefinitely"

Since I'm about to blow this popsicle stand, I think I'm going to make a fussy post. I bought the Zalman Reserator 1 water cooling rig—the great big blue phallus of computing—and it's sort of awesome, except the impeller inside the pump started making a rattle after about a month of operation. Supposedly, the new model was to have a new pump that addressed this problem, but reading the Zalman support forums showed that it's the same old model. So I sent Zalman an email asking them when they planned on having a replacement pump that worked, since I'd rather wait to replace mine with something that actually fixed the problem, not one that would just break again in another month.
