Hah! Next banned 360 I buy is going to become a 360-intosh (and the 360 parts in a cool case of its own). You wait.

“Kind of a slap to Apple to make it in a Microsoft product. Which I think is awesome.”

Yes, because Apple is the evil one. Not Microsoft.

This is horrendous.

1.) It’s not an xbox-intosh. It’s just a hackintosh in an xbox case. WTF.

2.) He destroyed a dev console. Albeit an older one; Still those are hard to get a hold of.

3.) He’s going to digi-hell.

So, is it just me, or is this basically just a computer in an xbox case that’s been hacked up with Hackint0sh?

I like it, though I think the photo that was posted here should be replaced with one of the finished xbox, it’s much more impressive-looking.

@MS3FGX:
Since it is an original xbox, there is not much value in a dev kit. the 360 dev kits can be found on eBay and go for upwards of double, maybe more of a typical console.

View from the sidelines: Credit the effort & thoughtfulness to document and share with the community woe to those who merely post negative commentary. Constructive critiques add value, rationale or coulda/shoulda/woulda of mods seems off the mark. dos centavos

Nice hack… Not sure why everyone thinks it should be in a xbox 360, but whatever. Kind of a slap to Apple to make it in a Microsoft product. Which I think is awesome.

the guy has wicked mod skills on that xbox. that’s some awesome finished product there.

as for the ITX mobo suggestions for the HTPC (well done as well… few bugs to work out of the touch switch though), the intel little falls 2 is almost half the price of everything else out there. I would suggest to anyone using it, to replace the stock heatsink with a custom HSF. My NES-PC (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=126778581&blogId=512160511) uses that intel board and it works fine (after putting on the custom HSF). I would have liked to use one of the other ITX boards out there to take advantage of dual channel ram, among other things, but those boards would have added another $100-200 to the price of the build. And when you’re going for a cheap build, that’s not helpful.
