:-( :-( OH: :crying: :crying: :crying: h: :noooo: :noooo: :drool: :drool: :drool: :rambo: :rambo: Sweet Jesus......Holy F*&^%$# &^% of a &^$%( I honestly can't believe some one would do that Ryan
Why? I think it's pretty darn cool. They took some equipment that was completely non-functional and cut it into some cool looking stuff. Hell, I'd rather have an Xbox logo made from an actual board, than a non-functional mobo that doesn't do anything. -hl718
From my understanding, only the circuit boards from the first picture were non-functional, as every photo has it's own caption and only one of them mentioned pieces being as such. While cutting things with water is pretty cool, it just seems like such a waste considering some of the things they decided to cut up. But everybody puts there own value on things.
Who cares. That is pretty sweet. I would take a lot of things, working, non-working and play around with that water jet. Looks like fun .
They work at MS, bring over busted boards, but decide to just lump in a working prototype and 360? I kind of doubt it. I would guess they either work in or have easy access to R&D. I'm sure that place has loads of stuff like this waiting to be destroyed. Company policy is probably to incinerate it or squish it into cubes in order to protect IP, much like the way a lot of companies physically destroy hard drives. This was just one creative way of doing it.
Honestly I never thought waterjet was so precise. I mean take a look at this: Last year I had an old pentium laying around so I said "thats a great jewel for a chain" but I couldnt drill even a tiny fucking hole through the ceramic (I think is ceramic, dunno) cover....
Watching OCC on Discovery with their Flow-Jet, looks like you can cut also anything and pretty accurate as well
