A 14 year old boy from Brevard, North Carolina was nearly killed Sunday while trying to stop his Xbox 360 from overheating.
The boy’s mother told local news that his Xbox 360 kept turning itself off after about 5 minutes. Her son had read online that he could stop it from cutting off by cooling the power supply. “I saw him put the cord on top of a box in the living room”, said the boy’s mother. “When I left to go next door he was playing a game but when I got back he was laying on his back on the floor and unconscious”.
While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard where he spent the night.
Aside from getting knocked unconscious the boy only suffered small burns to his right hand and foot.

The sealed case thing has been done using Oil (which works) but I've never heard of using water! 
yeah, i even remember an old tomorrows world clip where they dipped a tv into some liquid substance (looked like water however) and suggested it was the future of cooling.I seem to remember this guy getting the wrong end of the stick however re: water cooling and he sealed his case with mastic, filled it and turned it on.Iirc this was due to someone suggesting (for a joke obviously) that was the best way to do it and he took him at his word.I even seem to remember seeing pics of it, but like i say, it could have been a wind up."The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived.
