Cool your Xbox 360 with a pan of water... or not.


A 14 year old dumb ass boy in where else but the good ol' USA tried to cool his Xbox 360 by putting the power supply wrapped in plastic and tape into a pan of water. The result? Getting literally Bioshock-ed.

It seems like the little adventure was prompted by the Xbox turning itself off every 5 minutes. So the kid must have thought it was the thing is overheating and after doing some "research" on the net, he found that he could stop it from cutting off by cooling the power supply.

And what's a better way to cool the power supply than dumping it in a pool of water? After all, all these bloody big mainframes are all in a big pond of water in every movie.

For crying out loud, he 14 years old, not 4. What kind of moron are you? You ought to know electricity and water don't mix. Did you even pay attention in class? Actually, does the US of A education system teach home safety?
