Computers with built-in Consoles

Just a tad bit excessive but awesome none the less. $16,999.00 for the most powerful configuration available and $7669.00 for the starting configuration.

Now that I've actually come across this, I'm surprised it hasn't occurred to me before about having my console integrated into my computer. Does anyone have knowledge or know-how on what I would need to be able to do this? Having a liquid cooled 360 would also be a very nice thing to own, especially because even at a colder-than average room temperature and an open stainless steel table to sit on, I find that my 360 still gets fairly hot.

Has anyone else come across any other computers with built-in consoles? I'd like to see a few pictures so I can understand just how they did the set up and get an idea of how I would be able to do it myself.

Edit: I should probably add that I think paying $16999 for a computer like that is a joke. You can build the same machine for a far cheaper price. The real reason I want to do this is because I know some people who would pay a lot of money for something that seems as simple as installing a 360's hardware into a computer case.

Is this a little to excessive just to play my 360 halo:reach and change over to play call of duty on my pc.

Yeah, sums up my thoughts. And people think the Mac Pro is overpriced?

So basically this is a PC and an Xbox in the same case with the same water cooling loop woooo.
Anyway to answer your question about water cooling yes it's possible but it'll be pricey if you want to set it up right and you'll need to mod your 360's case to support your water cooling gear.You might have to pay for custom machined heatsinks/plates unless there are already some on the market that aren't crap.

In all honesty the case looks crap and tacky, for the money you pay you'd be able to get a nice Lian Li monolith or a Murderbox, both of which look miles better.
Funny enough the setup + a 360 would actually take up less space than this white elephant.

You buy this and you will be able to play games till you drop.

I build gaming computers to play games at much higher performance then a game console, why the heck would I want to put a inferior piece of technology into my computer case?

It's basically a computer case with a console inside lulz.

Because you don't compile or encode and sometimes it's nice to have the ability to have a separate gaming machine set up in a liquid cooled case because your computer is running at max load? I also have space issues with the room I'm set up in right now, what with the technology lying all over the place, a few monitors and a couple old PC's set up, the 40" T.V. and of course I have wires hanging all over the place. As it is packing my 360 into my computer and giving it an even better cooling system than it already has would be beneficial to me.

The 360 has a lot of exclusive titles, that's why I bought it in the first place. True gamers buy consoles and handhelds for the exclusives.

Full tower cases are big enough to just bolt an x-box on top of the thing I don't see a reason to throw the the stuff into an even bigger case. What are you going to do with a liquid cooled xbox 360? over clock its HD?.
However regarding the statement "true gamer" that is such a biased statement that I face palmed.

What am I going to do with a liquid cooled XBox 360? Not melt Fallout: New Vegas discs, not get a red ring of death and not have to shut-down my 360 after just a few hours of Halo: Reach or RDR.

Wire management is always an issue, having the 360 inside the case will reduce the amount of wires laying around in my room, leaving room for other important items, such as different wires for even more technology.

Yes, bolting a console that already has heating problems to the top of a tower with an i7-975 EE and two GTX 480s inside with one of the largest fans being placed on the top panel of the computer is a great fucking idea. No, I would much rather have a liquid cooled console inside of a slightly larger tower that's stationary anyways. It's not like I'm going to get up and lug the fucker around every day as well, so why does it matter how large the case is?

So you're saying that someone who has a high-end PC and spends their hard earned cash on a console, just so they can buy the exclusives for it, isn't a more hardcore gamer than someone who just buys a PC and only plays PC titles? Logic seems to be telling me you're a moron.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Do some research and then take your fanboy attitude and shove it up your ass.
