Well, we'll be meeting Geoff Lyon from CoolIT over in Vegas next week, so we'll get you plenty of up close and personal picks and find out exactly how it works...

Exactly...
There is no overheating issues, come on they have sold hundreds of thousands of these units. There is a few cases, but percentage wise its very low.
Meaning how many people on HEXUS have a dead console? 1 person?
Nick and I have used these for many hours, and no problems with overheating - I have had mine on solid since I got it as has Nick....
The value of watercooling it is down to the fact it will be quieter... My console certainly is far from unstable

Add to that the fact that the psu is one of the major causes of heat and this won't watercool that. Also the noisiest bit is the dvd drive and you've got a very expensive item thats going to be difficult to sell
I thought they were going to be water cooled in the first place? Thats what i heard and i saw pictures.
Ah, here it is

Aye, there is liquid cooling in the heat pipes etc.
As to the overheating issue, I don't see that as actually being a problem... as Gordy says, the majority were PSU issues, which needs more airspace than you might be used to allowing around your powerbricks.
We know of one unit being faulty on receipt which, given the thousands of units shipped, is unfortunate for the guy who got it but still not a bad failure ratio per working unit.
I have been using my Xbox 360 as a media extender since the 2nd December so as such, if I'm not gaming on it, we're using it for MCE stuff and doing PVR... as such, the 360 has been on very nearly constantly with perhaps two or three nights off, if that and it's been solid as a rock... in fact, the only time I've had trouble was using MCE when I overloaded the CPU on my media PC with recording and rewinding the recording as it was recording... and running PSP, Outlook and FF at the same time... so it was my MCE PC that fell over, not the Xbox!
So maybe they can watercool the PSU?
LOL how fatal would that be
wow, seems a little extreme (the ebay 1)
