Just got a red ring of death xbox. I was thinking about doing this. You just stripped the inside of the xbox and are constructing a small glass tank inside?

Wicked! I'd love to see the finished product. My hubby has a red ringed XBox hanging around and I totally want to have a go at it

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

+1 on that one!

I just bought an XBOX with Kinect on Christmas Eve cuz it was $100 off and hooked it up the other night, and boy oh boy does it ever run HOT!

I'm considering to have a fan hooked up to it whenever it's on, or else I'll be building an XBOX Tank sooner than later!

Great idea for the XBOX Tank, I can't wait to see the finished product!

PS3's dont break down cause there just an over priced blu ray player.
Sorry but thats what mine has turned into.
Tho a ps3 tank would look bad ass.
