Coolest Xbox mod ever gutted and submerged in mineral oil

Really want to amaze your fronts with the coolest Xbox mod in the world? Alright then. All you need is game unit (in this case an original Xbox was used), a fish tank, and some mineral oil. You see, mineral oil doesn’t have the same electronic slaying conductive properties as many other liquids do. Repeat: DO NOT try this with just any liquid!

The Xbox pictured above is as your eyes can see, submerged in the liquidy mineral matter — save for the hard drive and optical drive for obvious reasons. So what are the benefits of such a setup? Well, besides catapulting yourself to the top of the “coolest modded xbox list” (there’s needs to be one), your box will enjoy a CPU running a good 10 degrees cooler thanks to the more efficient heat dissipation. Who woulda thunk?

My old Xbox is currently sitting at home collecting dust. After seeing this mod I’m feeling a bit risky and experimental. Anyone else feelin’ a bit dangerous….?
