Modder uses broken Xbox 360 as CPU shell |
Ó
A modder who had a broken Xbox 360 as a paperweight decided to make good use of it, and gutted it out to use it as a functional PC. The Xbox 360 PC mod is powered by an Intel P4 processor, juiced up with 512MB of memory, 60GB HDD, and has 8 USB ports.
What's remarkable about this project is that the modder managed to make use of the existing power button, USB and other ports, and avoided making too much changes on the exterior (with the exception of the fan). Do check out the video below for more modded Xbox 360 goodness. Enjoy!

ya I can see that happening :)
Nice mod man, how many hours and how much was it to do??? Would you be willing to write a tutorial I wouldn't mind doing that myself!!
or could switch the system from pc to xbox360 being able to play pc games and xbox 360 games using one system
Ya because the small enclosed case of the 360 wont overheat a PC like it did his 360 lol.
Wow that's great! I wish I knew enough to do that with mine lol
If you've built a pc before and used a dremel tool i think you should be able to do it. I would use a Micro ATX MoBo. built in video because there wont be space for a card. i woulda used more ram tho. 528Mb with a 3gig cpu seems low to me. you will need to use an external powersupply and a laptop dvd burner because of space issues.
the point is that he gutted it and put in computer parts. but that would be awesome.
those have even less space than the 360 and seem to sufficiently cool
it's all about component placement and airflow
you wouldn't need a cd drive if you have a physical or virtual drive shared via network
here in japan there's lots of diy small pc parts such as mobo etc.
but what a very expensive PC Casing + joypad, 350 bucks.
the hdd is usable on pc but it must be hacked or something.
I wan't to know how he got the BIOS on the 360 - and what BIOS he used!
The GFX is a custom ATI chipset - related in somesorts to the X1900.

its not a 360 its just a case i believe
