Hi,
I've been working on a small case for the original xbox console. The idea is to use a PicoPsu, 2.5" HDD and omit the DVD drive in order to make the whole xbox (not including an external AC adapter) be 230mm wide, 210mm deep and only 50mm high. Please excuse the awful render, I'm still getting used to the software
The two controller ports are made by using the breakaway part of the controller cables and the LED's are HDD activity, LAN activity and power (bi colour red/blue). There will also be a Xerc2 installed so the console can be turned on/off via the official xbox remote using an IR eye next to the controller ports and there will be an internal RGB led strip. I'm also hoping to integrate Alexa/Google home voice commands to turn it on/off and control the LED's by using an MHcozy wifi inching relay.
The case will be machined from aluminium and the top faceplate will be lasercut acrylic (smoked so the dual OLED displays show through the top).
There will be an OGX360 installed for the other 2 controller ports and there is a cut out on the rear to house a USB port for the receiver
I'm also going to use different heatsinks and fans and have designed a bracket to attach them. Other mods may include HDMI output
My project is nowhere near the level of some on here but I'm finding it good fun
