I saw a build inside an xb1 before. Theyre cool and id love to make one, but from what I saw it required sawing off a portion of the motherboard.

PC board. The ITX board used was too large to fit into the chasis.

Based on the reaserch i did over the past 45 seconds the difference between DTX and ITX is DTX gives you 2 PCI-E Slots (So its bigger than ITX)

 

Edit: So DTX is the width of ATX with the height of M-ATX and, and Mini-DTX is the awkward lovechild of MATX and MITX

I think the OP's best bet is going on ebay and getting a broken xbox like I mentioned in my first post in this topic

[Scruffy90]

I want to see whawt this build turns out like.

As someone who is building a PC inside an old PS2, I'd really like to see the results of an xbox one build so please get your friend to post a build log on the forums! As for where to get a case, like other have mentioned, ebay is probobsly the best bet. If you don't trust ebay sellers, also try looking on your local classifieds for people selling their old consoles.

 

Best of luck!

I don't know what its called but its like the standard for NUCs and barebones PCs, you know like the tiny PCs 8 inches square
