Hey guys new here. Recently got back into case modding. Decided to give water cooling a try. Total over kill but Ive never seen it done. This is the result. Let me know what you think!

A few years ago, my very first xbox console got water damaged in a freak storage accident. I let it dry out for an extended period of time, made sure it was dry and turned it on (still pretty dumb I know, I was dumber then), it worked for a short time before it turned itself off. Now it just sits as a reminder of my high school days. I few days ago I was looking for a file so I switched it on, I actually forgot it had been damaged in the past (I have a lot of xboxes) It switched itself off when I went downstairs. Thinking that I had turned it off, I turned it on again to continue what I was doing and it turned off. Then I remembered why, the water damage. Anyway it is no longer important to me whether it works or not. What is important is that I had it plugged in to a powerboard/plugboard which has a quite a few other consoles plugged in. Now I don't know much about electricity but I am a bit concerned about my other consoles that were plugged into the same powerboard this xbox was using. How likely is it that my old damaged xbox damaged those other consoles? It is a 1.6 if that makes a difference and I have the standard power cable with no grounding prong. I asked this same question on the og xbox reddit but from what I have been told, this forum is the best for the more hardware related stuff. Thanks!

I didn't see much corrosion on my two water damaged consoles (on the underside of the psu's there was some). So I took some photos for some more knowledgeable people. What do you think? Are these two Xboxes okay for service? They both work, I replaced the fan on one, now I need to replace the fan on the second. The power buttons and eject buttons are a little fussy. Here is My first one. https://imgur.com/a/rsZaqVX Here is the second. https://imgur.com/a/9IEXRLE Thanks

Many thanks to you guys for helping a me out with my water damaged console. Now it is working again without switching off. After going through my stored items I came across another xbox which was in the same container as my previous water damaged console. I never turned this one on so I am not sure if it works. I want to see what I can do with it. I am going to be a lot more cautious with this one so in regards to switching it on, what precautions should I take? Thanks
