This past week, after realizing I don't use my xbox 360 to often, somehow convinced myself to void the warranty and rip it apart just to take a look at its innards.
Cuff me, book me, send me off. I admit, I have a problem. First step is admitting it, right? I have constant urges to tear apart new "toys" just to see how they are set up. A desire to see how things tick I suppose. And for some reason or another, pictures do not do my heart/brain justice, and I feel the need to void warranties of my personal items just to take a peek.
Here is what I want to do:
Put the innards of the 360 into a slim HTPC case. Get better airflow, and to be honest, better aesthetics.
---I find the stock 360 cases to be ugly and confining---
I'm thinking something like this or this, although both of those cases are too large for my liking. The stock 360 is 3.25" h x 10.25" w x 12" l (with hdd installed). I really don't want to go more than 4 x 10-11 x 12-14 as that is roughly the space I have on the tier on my desk. Although I guess I could go more on the height, just didn't want to expand it too big.
I have looked and looked and haven't seen this done. If I had to go bigger on the case I could. Of course it would have some cool color scheme and the usual acrylic accents and modding whatnots. But this is just an idea atm, but if I find the right case it might motivate me to jump on a project.
Any ideas?
