You should be well proud of that mate! That looks awesome!!

As said above, how is the noise/temps now it's finished? you happy with it? or are there more mods on the cards?

I posted my watercooled lian li xbox 360 a while back. Nice work on this one and was tempted to do this but the lian li case looks slick next to my htpc

Anyway have you noticed any improvement in gaming as I feel some games run faster and have less tearing on high res. Would be interested to see if you notice the same or mine was a placebo effect

Temps seem fine.. there are no temp sensors on the 360 so I can't know for sure but they seem fine!
It is very quiet... possibly could have uswd more anti vibration materials on the pump but its ok. Im calling it a day on this project!!

Yup... that was the hardest part... At one point I thought I would completely fail in this aspect until i found a way of fitting the tubing underneath the dvd drive while still the dvd drive fitting properly!

Well done, I wanted to cool my xbox in a similar way but with a lack of funds I just went the huge fan route instead!

And it certainly was quite a challenge!

It is going to be difficult to top isn't it? Given that what next challenge do you have in mind?

Thinking about a desk with the pc inside, visible through a glass top like a cabinet display! It would have watercooling components nicely spread out, made of aluminium and a glass top....

Hmmm

Could be cool, if you'll pardon the pun.

It would have, but one of his original goals was to keep it in the original case.
