Koolance has just come out with a watercooling kit for the 360. Now you don't have to worry about it overheating ever again. Looks to be a pretty easy setup, comes in silver or black. The water connections come out the back of the system so you don't see them. Check it out over at xoxide.com

Wonder if it voids the warranty.

The note at the bottom of the product reads as follows:

It was kind of a rhetorical question. ;)

I have a problem with this in that it costs nearly as much as the 360 itself. I'm not really a watercooling guy, but for those of you out there that do, is that price on par with a typical PC watercooling setup?

I am also a bit annoyed with the water cooling and can I over clock a console crap! It was designed to do a job and the games were developed to run on THAT hardware! Why would you need/want to overclock and risk destroying it? I thought getting a console was to have something that you could just flip on and play a game and not have to mess with config files and updates and all that crap that comes with PC gaming.

And this is coming from someone who has a modded xbox... But I only modded it for XBMC and I don't use it for games anymore.
