Hello guys, this is my 2nd mod on bit-tech. this time i am modding a broken Xbox360 case to hold a m-itx motherboard/full PC as i go building it i will upload more photo's of the case,. things you need/i used A ssf psu a mitx motherboard+CPU 2.5" HDD a xbox 360 a xbox 360 HDD case (if you dont have one) a laptop dvd drive (optional) power-button/letds (recycleble from a old case) a 3d printer (optional) for parts/others. ------- since i used a old mitx PC i had all this in the case (except for the xbox 360) (for easier reading i did post the 1st 4 post for the build log [sorry for tripple posting]) greetings darknessblade *looked at some other FAILED casemod atempts to get a pc inside a xbox case, most of them needed a lot of cutting to do, reforming the entire case.* my project features a bare minimum of cutting the case, keeping the full original design. (as you can see in my pictures, i only need to do a bare minimum of cutting) --------------------------------------------------- step 1, get your xbox 360 (FAT) if you have a xbox and its broken take it completely apart. keep the fans, for the rest clean out the entire casing. step 2 get your mini-PC. find a mitx PC with a ssf PSU. step 3. fit all the parts in the case to look if you have to do some cutting. step 4 design a motherboard spacer for the mitx motherboard. step 5 3D print the motherboard tray/riser step 6 mount the spacer/tray to the MB: step 7 design the power-shield, to fit in the leds/buttons also use a motherboard/psu spacer if necicary to prevent static overflow.
My first mod was an xbox 360 conversion, looking forward to see your take on it as there are a lot of areas I would have changed my plans
*updated* added pictures. future plans: adding gameport (located in the memor-card location) cutting away the parts that are to small. adding a sff dvd-drive (have a ide-version) HDD (located in the place of the hdd spot of the original xbox, [did not have a xbox HDD] )
