Xbox 360: Watercooling!

Are you talking about heatpipes? If so, then I'm not surprised. Many CPU heatsinks have heatpipes built in these days.

Teraflop got it, the 360 uses heatpipes. As far as I know part of the heatpipe comes in contact with the processors much like a normal heatsink would, except there is a channel within the heatsink that holds some liquid. When this liquid hits the part in contact with the processor, it cools the processor and is turned into a gas form, which travels along a thin tube. While going through the tube it condenses again so that the process can repeat.

Wow, there's not much stuff in the Xbox 360! That motherboard is fairly simple...

Portable X-Box 360 Ben?

I'll tell you what... I'll supply you an old Atari Lynx Belt designed to carry D-Cell batteries...
