1. A game console system comprising:
- a first computing device configured to;
generate game objects in a three-dimensional (3D) graphical space, transform the game object into two dimensional (2D) video frames, compresses the 2D video frames into compressed video frames; and
transmit the compressed video frames to a second computing device;
a second computing device configured to;
receive the compressed video frames, decompresses the compressed video frames to decompressed video frames, and transmit the decompressed video frames to a display device, wherein the first and second computing devices are configured to operate in separate thermal environments.

Abstract
The game console system includes a user interface module and a graphics processing module that are remotely situated from one another and solely coupled to one another via one or more communication links. The graphics processing module is positioned within a controlled environment chamber that thermally and acoustically isolates the user interface module from the graphics processing module. The user interface module includes a controller and a console coupled to the controller. The console also is configured to be coupled to a display.
