I have a spot on my desk that the computer would stay. Where it has always stayed at. It's not in the way or anything. Would there be a case you recommend?

I have an xbox series S,well i sold it but anyway,they are pretty hot,their big fan blows a lot of hot air,and they aswell need some intake air.

If you put it inside of an PC,you temps will rise since it will take hot air from your pc and it will blow even more hotter air out,so you will decrease cooling capabilities of your PC and your Xbox at the same time.Can you put xbox somewhere verticaly,or on top of your pc?

If you have some space cant you make like a little shelf on side of your table just to hold your xbox?

How are you going to get to the optical drive in the xbox of you put it in the PC?  Not like you can mount the BluRay drive that comes with it in to a 5 1/4 inch bay.  IF your new case even comes with a 5 1/4 inch bay in the first place.  You'd have to open the case each time to put the disk in.  Not like you can use any bluray drive with the one s

You should keep them in separate cases but it is possible with enough money, time and effort. There is a blog by finalmans which should help with powering the S one with an ATX PSU, it doesn't need as much power as a fat PS3 so if your PSU is big enough, you could power both systems with one or get a entry level PSU for the S one, it takes a mid size GPU worth of power. They have cube cases for dual motherboards with separated spaces, that would be your best bet to isolate the heat from one system with the other. If you are going this route, you are definitely going to have to go all digital because continuing to use disks is not feasible. You are going to have to manufacture a lot of components and mod the case into fitting the S one.

mounting an xbox pcb is not that hard. mark the holes and add stand offs. but depending on how well you want it you would have a bunch of cables go in to the case for Ethernet, power, hdmi guess that not that much there no controller port to deal with and i think you can charge the controller with the pc usb. the dvd drive will be a problem depending on how its attached. might be able to extend the wires and mount it in a 5.25 bay but it probably look junky unless you 3d print a holder for it. or like DTX said go digital. it will heat up the pc a bit but depending on what system you have its probly not a problem.

 

years ago when people modded there xbox 360 lian li had a case for it. exstremaly rare to find.... so i just built my own. i never got the dvd drive mounted as i put a stupid thing on top so you can see the disc spin and it never worked the same.

 

finding a duel mb case is hard and expensive so imo it be best to do 2 different case. ether stack em on top or put them side by side.

 

you might be able to find a super long case thow
