X360 Cooling System (Home-Grown)

(Hope this does belong here- and I hope it can benefit a minority)

Ha, Though I doubt this will actually cause much of a difference, I have created a new cooling system for my X360 using a CPU and PSU fan (wired with USB)

tutorial used is this one (but I messed around with the design as I only needed to know so much- like checking the cabling and whatnot)

forgive the orangeness- it was taken in low lighting... but also my bedroom is painted orange, so that doesnt help the matter

Here is the side fan (on the vent that is the bottom) made with the PSU fan:

The fan on the back, which should draw some air out, made with the CPU fan:

And finally, the full thing, this time I used flash on the piccy so it came out a bit clearer. Very simple stuff indeed:

ITEMS USED:

Blu-Tack (to hold the wires to the paperclips)
Paper clips (the connection between USB cable and the wire block)
Wire block (hold reds and blacks together of course)
2 fans, im sure you know why
USB connector (from a phone->USB, but I have a spare one, so i used this one)
Screwdriver, Pliers, Wire cutters & Scissors for the making process

(Very simple stuff)



Can I have some thoughts on the idea? Suggestions, reccomendations, etc?


Cheers- hope you enjoy (somewhat)
