People have been doing this type of mod for years, Here's someone from nearly 4 years ago doing this mod: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqCi2qd8XczTZbA.html I just did this to have fun as it's something I have been wanting to try far before Linus ever did his xbox mod. If you guys have any suggestions on content you would like to see or any other suggestions go ahead and let me know by replying to this comment.

Who the fuck looks at the back of a computer/console anyway. It is an i3 8100, a QUAD CORE cpu that runs at 3.6 ghz. And yes, the gpu most likely did most of the work.

See full video it have a nice mesh for airflow

To increase airflow, you could use a dremmel tool to cut in-between the fins on the top cover. This will open the top cover, without changing the look of the case. You could even use the same type of screen on the top cover, that was used on the bottom of the case (gpu fan), to give it a more professional look. I really like the design choices you made on this build. Great Video!

I love how thorough he is with his guide. I truly am debating on building off of this

I cannot wait until your diy case. Love this. keep it up

Back in MY day the most impressive mod for the original Xbox was to install Windows on the original mainboard. RAM and CPU upgrades were possible as well. This is a really good build though, especially due to retaining the front classic Xbox ports, which as you mentioned are actually USB. I used a homebuilt adapter to use an Xbox controller on my PC back before it was mainstream. Hilariously this means you should be able to use OG Xbox controllers without any external adapters, with the right driver. The aluminum support frame worked out nicely too, but I do have a couple of suggestions. For the back, I think you could have cut just enough material to allow the ports to be accessible, maybe with the help of some epoxy to hold the plastic together where needed. Or else just use an I/O painted black, and paint the GPU slot vents too. Would stand out less. Just my two cents. Anyway the absolute BEST use of this previously broken Xbox is to... run and Xbox emulator.

Glad to see someone actually use those front panel connectors... Also please plug and get an Original Xbox controller have it go straight to Big Picture Mode on Steam. Getting the drivers for the OXC is pretty annoying though >.>.

That's a really good idea

This video really helped my build my first pc in a dead Xbox too! I used very similar hardware; an i3 9100F, stock cooler w/ 90mm be quite fan, 16GB DDR4, Asus mini itx mobo, silicon power 256gb nvme ssd, an evga gtx 1060 6gb, and a 350w flex atx psu by silverstone w/ a noctua fan mod (the stock one was louder than a stock intel cooler even at idle). I highly suggest you dremel out some airflow vents in the top of the case where the indentations are. it comes stock with vents on the side, so if you sand the vents cleanly it looks original tbh. I even threw in a rgb led strip inside so light glows through the vents, and I can turn them off for full stock look. You can go even further like I did and install 4, 40mm noctua fans (2 on each side of the case for intake and exhaust. I got them hooked up to a fan controller and run them at the lowest rpm just so there’s some type of airflow in the case, as I live in San Diego with no AC and it’s July lol. Even with stuffy ambient temps I never seen my cpu hit over 80c while running Aida 64 with stock cooler, and my gpu stayed around 70c while running gta 5 at 4K max settings. I plan on posting a KZread video just to show the end result as it’s pretty solid considering I only put about $600 in total for the project, and just my overall experience building my first pc in a Xbox.

very cool, I think it would look a little cleaner without the silver spacer for the DVD drive cover (painted black), also if the "feet" thing under it was also black, because these 2 details are distracting if you are used to the OG xbox.

I'm surprised, very professional! Congratulations

Saw it , immediately watch it, and like it!

how did you connect the ground on the front panel connector? did you use the 2 grounds on the xbox front panel pcb? I'm trying to use the front panel and controller ports on my pc for emulators and couch games.

This is a really cool project and I liked how u went about it!

Loved it, good work man, I like the content in your channel

Only thing to finish off the project would be to make a custom backplate and spray the front aluminium black

Great video, I'd love a PC in an original xbox case. Might have to try and build one. I like the fact you kept it looking original and not change the controller ports.

favorite PC in a console I've seen. hope you do that emulation video eventually. good work

I have a Cryorig H7 and I love it. So good choice on going with Cryorig. I also suggest modding the vent on the bottom to run a Noctua fan. If ya have the fan oriented for intake, it'll have more airflow going into the GPU as it'll force air to enter the case. But it's just an idea and MIGHT not work but it also might work. Just something worth testing.

The fact that u did this successfully is great!! Keep it up man!

@TechByMatt I was wondering if you have a link to the where you found the write up on how to wire up the power button. Thx and great video.

Lunus Tech tips made it look like they went through hell but you make it look so easy lol. But I Love the video man.😀😀👏👏👌👌👍👍

awesome build... definitely inspiring me to try this. Thumbs up from me! Though, I think you should reconsider the rear I/O shield. Think it would tidy up the rear quite a bit.

Depending on the space inside, it may be feasible to put a slim DVD burner in there to give you a working optical drive bay.

Can anyone clarify how to wire the switch. I found the pin out and am aware the wires for the 2 green LEDs and power button. Not sure what the grounds are tho. There's 2 grounds. One looks to go with the power switch. The other appears to go with the eject button. Not sure where grounds for LEDs go. Just wiring to test bench wires that go back to my motherboard header. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

undervolt the gpu to the least stable core voltage using amd wattman it will reduce gpu temp by 15c I am using xfx rx 570 at default settings it has core voltage of 1150mv and clock of 1285 card was heating upto 86c after that I reduced the voltage only to 1010mv now it barely reaches 73c. For efficient cooling use msi afterburner fan curve

Consoles:ew pc you should change your gpu every month Pc :hold my rtx

Im in the middle of this mod and i am so confused. Im trying to wire up the LEDs and i cant get them to go on. I tried led1 green as positive and led1 red as negative and opposite but nothing is working. Any help?

OH GOD

Not bad great job on in. Makes me want to turn my old ps3 (fat version) into a budget small form PC. There is one thing that concerns me with ur build though and that's the GPU in a case like this I'd gone for a GPU like a 1050ti or 1650 somthing a bit lower on power usage that dont need a power connector and might run cooler as a result in a case like this I just feel the rx 480 in a bit to power hungry for this case and might be overkill on the CPU but other then that nice project no doubt. Also you might want to look into as well on if you want to stay with that GPU under volting might not only make it run cooler in the case but faster as well given its not already CPU bottlenecked.

Can you explain how you did the front io buttons or a video tutorial on how you did it? Im stuck on that

This was a behemoth of a project. Good job matt!

Well, now i am inspired to make my own. If I do I will certainly make a vid and post it

I did the same thing with an i5 and rtx 2060. If you put a 120 mm fan as intake between the GPU and the cutout it should help with thermals

Great idea and video. You could saw out vents along the ribbing on top, just cutting into the corner at *45

Hope you reach 100K subscribers soon bro!

Awesome Work Bro Keep Doing Build Like this

Really great video man! That was a pleasure to watch. As others have said, I think you could cut some stealthy vents in between all those ribs on the top cover. That would probably help thermals a ton, and wouldn't take away from the original look.

what's your room temp during benchmark? mine was around 26°C, so GPU going 80°C+, vibrate and full throttle is a common thing here

Looking great! In regard to your disappointment with Overwatch frames, why were you running the game on Ultra?? Ultra is for screenshots, High is for gaming (ty random KZread video for that info). Playing on Ultra takes a massive hit to performance while making barely noticeable changes

I want to build one myself too AHAH i recently build my first pc yesterday damm it

Does anyone know where I can find a cheaper power supply that could still work/fit?

For the RX 480, you could try replacing the thermal paste and see how temps hold up (for reference, i was able to drop my temps by like 10-13C by cleaning out my 980ti and replacing the paste). If that isn't enough, you could also try to undervolt it a little bit with Wattman or something. It probably won't make a HUGE difference but it would likely be enough to ensure a more comfortable experience.
