Four years ago next month we built the world’s first water cooled Xbox. At the time, a lot of people asked us why we would want to water cool an Xbox, mostly because they didn’t understand the motivation behind it. The fact of the matter was that the standard heat sink on the 700MHz Intel processor would barely get hot under normal use and surely didn’t warrant the performance offered by a custom water cooling kit. At the time, we did it simply because no one else had done it and “because we could.” That was our motivation then and that is partially our motivation now.
