Xbox 360 build

[armadylann121]

So i have been planning a build for a few months not. I am going to make a mini ITX build inside of a scrapped Xbox 360 casing, from a separate project i was working on, to use as a media center PC in the living room. I had the perfect parts for everything but just as tax refund season was coming up; the site i had picked my motherboard from decided they would not stock that particular motherboard anymore. So I am at a halt in the process until i can find a new board that fits 6.4 x 6.5 in. or less. I come to the forums asking for assistance in that particular issue. If anyone knows of any Micro ITX board of that size or less that is then that would be fantastic. Thanks all.

Wouldn't all mini ITX's have the same dimensions?
Could try Amazon.

What budget/country?

Really not sure how effective this would be, your power supply is going to be a very limiting factor

This has been done before. But yeah, the specs would be limited.

Well you'll probably want a flex ATX PSU, which are pretty expensive per watt, and then probably an APU for the main system to game on

FSP 80+ bronze 300W

1U Server PSU, might work, probably doesn't have some connections, may possibly be more reliable given that it's a server board, but that's just conjecture, I'm sure they make plenty of crappy server PSUs

US and budget is around 500. I've already found a small form factor 500 watt psu so that will suffice for any power needs in this system.

Aside from going with an iGPU, either an APU or a broadwell chip, they make an ITX 380
