PC Xbox 360 case mod

[TheDev]

so this is my first ever PC case mod, there are a few ruff edges here and there but how it turned out is fine with me  .

 

i did this is because i love small pc and i always wanted a case that was as small as a console, BUT THERE WAS NONE!!! there was not one case smaller (and in budget) then my coolermaster elite 120. now the elite 120 is a great, small and practical case, but i waned smaller. so after finding a red ringed dead Xbox 360 on Facebook (that actually worked when i got it) i took it apart and got to work. 

 

now this is the point where people make a list of what they did, how they did it and so on, but im not one for making a detailed list of things i did or how did i do this, but i am one for making video.

I would challenge the fact that there are smaller PC cases out there..look for an mATX desktop case, or an ATX slim case THAT BEING SAID..this is fairly awesome. I can only imagine bringing this to a buddies house with a couple of wired 360 controllers and confusing the shit out of him with it <3 

Edit: Can you please give up a more complete parts list [mobo and psu for instance] so i may use it for inspiration?
Edit 2: Also I cant tell 100% is that a 360Slim or an original 360?

[TheDev]

its a original 360, and i have taken it into my collage and my IT tutor thought it was an xbox 360 and told me to put it away lol

[CydiaDash]

lol I wouldn't build it on a carpet dude

Hadn't checked out the video, yet. Hope to check it out tomorrow.

There are cases that are substantially smaller than a 360 case, but since you need to fit a video card in it, there are less options in that size with most being of similar size to the 360.
