Title: 3rd Time's the Charm. Watercooled Xbox.
Post by: blackburn on September 19, 2010, 05:28:52 PM: Well a few of you have seen previous builds of this xbox but now its back once again for its 3rd and final chapter.

This xbox is ONE OF A KIND, and there's not another one like it. Which is exactly what i was going for when i built it. It has been featured on PC Perspective:LINK HERE! (http://pcper.com/article.php?aid=979&type=expert&pid=3) and received "Most Popular Console Mod" at QuakeCon 2010.

Im sad to say this, but this console is going to be up for sale. So be looking for an eBay auction soon.

PICS:
