    After opening up my xbox, i was thinking is it possible to put a pc in there, using a mini itx/atx mobo, standard HDD + DVD. theres prolly no room for any expansion cards, or maybe a low rise AGP card. Altho im sure the mobo will have a lot of onboard features.

    Also the PSU, maybe even use the xbox one, altho it doesnt have any molex connections.

    Anyone got any info/articles on anything like this

    how much are you selling it for bazh?

    elmer it only plays cd-audio and some originals(no mod chip in it yet),it needs to be ejected about 20 times to get it to work i tried that pot adjusting thing on the web and it made no difference, the mod chip is in the post, will let you know if +r's work in it

    i stuck the dvd from my pc in my modded xbox today and it works brilliantly, i took out the old dvd player completely.

    i have to reboot with a game (backup) in it to play the game, dvds play from evox dvd player thing

    i hear you can also use a standard AT Power supply from a PC as an Xbox Power supply.
    Anyone got one of those or know where i can get one?
