    • Such ugly internals. The new Xbox is a triumph of compact engineering. All the components slot and stack together. This looks like a fucking radio from 1992face_melter
    • Svelte—looks like something that Starck would design. Having it vertical looks to help with the heat—that fan is massive.jaylarson
    • It's almost to ugly to buyspl33nidoru
    • 'Ugly internals'? Fucking hell, the inside is beautiful! Only thing I don't much like is everything soldered to a single board, but makes sense for cost reasonsNairn
    • I actually exclaimed out aloud when he pulled out the last heat sink, given the large metal plates and huge slow quiet fan. Thing's a BEAST.Nairn
    • And the daft curved exterior makes sense in the context of cooling too - discourages people lying stuff on top of it when laid flat. It's.. not pretty outside.Nairn
    • lol @ face_melterernexbcn
    • Liquid metal! they've got a bunch of T-1000's just jizzin' away to provide that.bulletfactory
    • looks like he taking a car apart.milfhunter
    • Turns out 'liquid metal' is 'just' a gallium-based alloy/amalgam - I assumed it was something much fancier.Nairn
    • I've got some gallium sitting here - bought it years ago to test a theory (it totally fucks with Aluminium if it gets past the oxide surface layer - fun stuff).Nairn
