Ironman273 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 One-Inch Thick Xbox Mod Makes One Sexy XBMC UnitBy Dan Nosowitz, 7:00 PM on Sat Aug 15 2009 A modder by the name of Bandit5317 created this amazing mod of an original Xbox, cramming in a 320GB HDD (though no optical drive) in the process. It took six months to build, but looks absolutely amazing. The polycarbonate case holds the guts of a flashed Xbox, so even though it's got no DVD drive, it'll serve as a great media center with the help of XBMC. It definitely makes the current crop of consoles look bloated in comparison, though we're told it runs a bit hot due to the tight quarters inside. Still, it's a great mod, especially given the original Xbox's considerable girth. Source: Gizmodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreuger Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 So more or less, it's actually just a media center PC with Xbox's specs and XMBC incorporated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted August 16, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well it plays Xbox games as well. Which is a plus. But yeah, it'd make a good Media Centre too. Certainly looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 still an xbox though, cant even decode sd x264, you could fit a ion board in a case not much bigger than that and it would be a lot more practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you installed a mod program to save a copy of the games to the HD, you'll need to put the disc in somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madd-hatter Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He needs to do the same thing to the 360, with more stable hardware than the original, and he will find himself making a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
