Ske7ch23 got a reaction from Spidey89 in The Fastest Xbox of All Time
Hi everyone!
I'm doing my own retro gaming Xbox and will be emulating lots of older systems on an old i3 socket 1155 I had lying around (the case is the main exiting bit for now...but I have plans)
I have just got the default power buttons and reset buttons working! and thought you may want to see them in action.
Pins 1-4 are power and reset. (Black and Red is power, Green and White is Reset.)
I have just butchered a USB header and the wires from a dual USB expansion card to get the wires and pins I wanted.
I have this hooked up so that the eject button is reset, but if you wanted eject to be a power button you could just reverse this wiring.
5-8 are LED Power, I fiddled around until i got them all green and then soldered them both together for the motherboard (if you have them back to front they will go red! kinda cool :D)
I assume the LED is sharing power as they are both soldered together. So its slightly dimmer than usual, but I am pleased with this result as I'm not a fan of LEDs glaring at me from under the television anyway. Its plenty bright in a darkened room and barely visible in daylight.
I'll do another update when I'm putting the controller ports together.
From what I understand, the xbox controller ports are just a proprietary usb, with an extra wire for the rumble?
I have seen most people are putting standard usb ports on the front, which is cool. But I would like to use original xbox controllers with the original ports on this system, so that it looks totally stealth!
Has anyone got original controllers working? and does anyone know if i will need additional software to get the original controllers to be recognised in windows 10?
Let me know if I messed up! But everything is working for me at the moment.

Completed my case build today and test fitted everything. VERY SNUG!
So to dismantle this I will first have to remove cables. Then the dc-atx converter. Then remove ram to allow the psu to unscrew and slide out with the ssd. (stuck to it) Next is the motherboard and io shield. And finally the GPU is free!
I think this will need a coat of black paint on the inside next. And then I will attempt to get the front controller ports working with USB.
Possibly a little green led strip and the controller port led mod as well. But we will see. I may prefer the total stealth look / be lazy.

Love it. Sleepers are so much cooler and more rewarding to build in. And looks so much more tidy with the modular psu.

Would like to share my experience, this has been working since November. If you really want you can fit a SFX psu, with some obvious modifications to the chassis.
It's a Ryzen 5 2600 on a fat4l1ty b450 itx, 16gb gskill DDR4 3000, RTX 2080 and enermax 650w psu. A little bit junky but works flawlessly. Everything is under liquid metal thermal interface otherwise temps would be too high. They are 75 CPU, 75 GPU in gaming.
