I am working on putting an xbox 360 in my computer case. The reason: none, lol. I am extending the one side of the case, so I can fit it in there. I have already cut one of the pieces out, an have bought the new piece to be fitting in the hole. The xbox 360 is almost ready to be put in. The xbox itself is ready. The dvd-rom still needs a little bit of work. It will sit inside the computer while it is being used. But when you press eject it will come out of the side like a swivel, on a motor. The ROL (Right of light) and on/off switch will be moved onto the front of the case. The Piece on the dvd-rom that actually holds the cd in, had to be changed so the cd actually stays on. The original clamps the cd in. After that its just a hole bunch of anoying re-wireing. And ya if you were wondering, im putting lots of extra fans on the xbox, and in the computer to keep them both from over heating.

good work if it works i will do as well! 10/10
based on what i see here(meaning unfinished project) wires are extremely messy.
I will change my vote if wires are cleaned up and case is made presentable or when said project is finished
10/10 i just think that's really cool and always wanted to do that
I voted a 1 because of the lameness, srsly
Good luck! I hope it works out.
just outta curiosity. u have 4 cathodes i can see on the side. but in the pics u only show 2 of em off!?!?
i have an acrylic case & i aint done much to it but i can say it looks a lot better than this! sry
-nice computer btw
..... its something constructive to do with my free time, i'm learning a lot, and not to mention I made use of my broken xbox. :D
Yay! Well its official the xbox does turn on a run. (And stay running.) Unfortunately i haven't got the dvd drive to work properly. :S Maybe someone can help me find some sort of solution??
When you turn on the xbox, the motor (The one that is supposed to move the tray in and out, and pick up the lazer.) starts spinning counter clockwise for 3 seconds, then clockwise for 5 seconds. When you turn it off it spins counterclockwise for 3 seconds, and clockwise for 3 seconds. When you eject it in or out it does some other random spinning too. I have 2 buttons hooked up, these buttons are supposed to tell the xbox when the tray has finished opening, and the other one does the opposite. So if I push eject, the motor starts to spin. (Trying to open the tray.) If I don't push any buttons, the xbox freezes and starts the three flashing lights on the RoL. If I do push the button (The one that tells the xbox that the tray is open.) while it is spinning, the motor just starts spinning the other way..... i dont get it, lol. Thanks to all who read all of that. :P
I think that is horrible..... I've built a computer for a friend with I believe the same case (or very similar) and I was rushing and it still was more presentable than that..... Not only that you plan to stick a xbox in there...... and I can't imagine how much of a bitch it is just to stick a cd inside your system would be......
