Default Why not watercool the consoles?

Well, I was making some thought about possible unse of watercooling in gaming consoles. As consoles are closed, it would be pretty easy and safe to cool the components via heatpipes / water, like that case http://zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view...=151&code= from zalman. Or is it already implemented? Would be interesting to know how nextgen consoles cooling looks like...

Firsts Dreamcasts had a heatpipe based cooling solution for the CPU.
The coming X360 will also have a heatpipe cooler for its CPU.
