I don't see that specific model, but there are some eights that I see. So I might grab one. Last time I checked eBay nobody had anything except some really cheap three-way ones
(My epic setup: JTAGGED Xenon with XBR v3 RF, 250GB internal hard drive, 400GB external hard drive and a 1TB external hard drive. Oh and a 512MB memory card for my profiles.
Flashed (iXtreme 1.6 non-stealth) Falcon on XBL with a 120GB hard drive.
32" 1080P Samsung HDTV)

Why so much work on something designed to with an inherent limitation so that games will never bypass said limitation and thus never justify such tinkering? It seems kind of weird. (but I understand if it's a longevity upgrade)
Anyway, "gaming rig" always meant "gaming computer" to me, so that's what I'm uploading because I have no camera, no interest to get one soon, and the only thing relevant to this thread I have personal pictures of.
Yeah, there's text on the screen because my brother asked how it worked and etc etc. It's messy but it was a custom air-to-water cooling conversion on a case that wasn't made for it. Man, I really should not have converted those to JPGs...

Not really sure what you're saying here. () But, I haven't used it for like 6 months and will never use it again. I just use it to mess around with (hardware mod wise). It will never die because it never gets used!

What I mean is, people buy improved fans and mess with computer hardware because it has a noticeable effect on performance. Consoles are locked at a certain performance so it seems strange to do that stuff you mentioned.

On the banned console it's been done just to mess around with. On my JTAG the mods have been done to try and keep it alive as long as possible.
Keep in mind, KoN, that 360s are rather notorious for overheating issues, especially in the earlier models. Here in Texas, my brother can't play it for more than 2-3 hours on a warm day without it having "noticeable effects on the performance" (graphics start to hang, etc.). So I could definitely justify adding cooling stuff to a 360. LEDS are the only pointless mods.

Meh the fans have LEDs built in, I wasn't going to go out of my way to remove them.

I wasn't referring to that, just the whole "LEDs for the sake of having LEDs" like in most pre-built "gaming" PCs. I bought one because it was cheap, and it came with a huge bar LED velcro'd to the bottom with a switch taking up one of the ports on the back. I found it absolutely ridiculous, and pretty much only use it as a flashlight when I want to look at something without opening it up.
Your TV there is what.. a 40"? I need to grab one of those after I win the PS3, but haven't decided on size/brand and all that yet.

32", I can't stand anything larger than that. Really just don't see the need for anything more. I was quite happy with my 26" LCD but after being given this 32" I'm set.
As far as LEDs go I think they look ridiculous as well. I can live with them in a console but in a PC they have to go!

Nice, nice. My dad had his mid-life crisis and bought a 52", and it's a bit silly... but it does make it easier for multiple people to watch at once. Except he refuses to get cable or satellite or anything.
I would be happy with my current TV except that the corners are rounded, so it ends up cutting things off. And it's SD, but that's not as big of a deal.

I couldn't go back to using an SDTV. So used to the HDTVs now, much better and nicer picture quality (that's quite obvious though considering the difference in resolution. )

Yeah, can't play FIFA anymore at my SDTV without squinting my eyes. T_T, Got really used to the VGA cable.
