I believe someone else already mentioned that (maybe somewhere else).  Anyway, that is really cool, don't know where you could get one though.

don't think you can actually buy one... it looks like it's just a prototype, not in production yet, if ever...

Today in school i was drawing a plexi-glass fish tank with a spot for the Xbox's disk drive to sit on the outside of the Fish tank. The Disk drive bill be recessed inside the tank so it still looks legit.

Then i will draw it in AutoCAD 2010 and cut my pieces with our CNC machine. Hopefully Epoxy will water/mineral oil tighten the fish tank with a :censored: drive hole in the side.

The Cable for the disk drive will run through a hole just tight enough for the power and data Cables. Window and Door Caulking will seal the hole good enough.

I will test this is three stages:

1. test to see if the disk drive will fit in it's outside case.

2. Glue a bunch of Test wires (IDE cable Ethernet cable) instead of an actual xbox360 disk drive and it's cables with water. (Check for leaks)

3. Then i Will try a p00p computer that i don't need. see if that runs overnight on full processor power to see if it cools OK. (Check for Leaks and Stability)

4. Testing the xbox360.

Woohooo Its done (hopefully)

what you could do is make a sealed plexiglass enclosure on the side of the fish tank with a drive slot cut in the sealed part. This would allow it to still "sit" in the fish tank, but stay dry and semi easy to access  :drunk:

also, if your planning on running it for more than a few hours, it is advised to use a pump and radiator to circulate to the coolant from the bottom of the tank, to the top. (Ive done a lot of research on oil cooled PCs) Otherwise the oil will be stagnant and will heat up very quickly.
