Atari-inspired Xbox 360 mod



Atari is preparing to release some of its best known titles as Xbox downloadable content, and they found a very interesting way to get more publicity for the same, modder Ben Heck.

Xbox with red ring of death faces firing squad

Gaming PC – Xbox combo to show up at CES

Origin PC has put a gaming PC and an Xbox 360 inside one liquid-cooled box, and they’ll be showing the hybrid at CES. As Gizmodo puts it,

The Big O features a high performance liquid cooled overclocked gaming PC AND a liquid cooled Xbox 360 Slim inside one system. The starting configuration combines the power of an Intel Core i7 930 processor overclocked to 4.9GHz, dual NVidia GTX480 graphics cards, and 6GB of Corsair Dominator memory at 1600 MHz into one beefy, completely water-cooled monstrosity of a gaming rig.

Pricing for the system will start at $7,669, going to $16,669 for the high-end version.
