A Canadian company says it will showcase a liquid cooling system for the Xbox 360 at next week's Consumer Electronics Show. I've asked the editors of our sister site Gizmodo to take a look at this puppy, since they'll be prowling the show floor. There wasn't much detail in the press release and the photo of the product seems sketchy. Most of the problems of overheating arise from the coal-burning power supply, not from the actual console itself, so why is their cooling unit chilling the CPU and GPU? We hope to have the answers for you next week.

Oh, and if you visit the company's official site, check out the USB-powered beverage chiller. I ordered three.
