ConsoleTechUS Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I did a project similar to this previously so that I could have built in NES ports that could use any controllers from any manufacturer work on the Xbox without any modifications. My friend really liked this design so he asked me to build one for him as well. I call it stealth because it can sit under your tv and guests would assume it's a receiver or an amp. The xbox is soft modded with the usual stuff and runs cooler than factory with my weird setup. I didn't want to waste two iceberq4 fans for a non slim build so instead I bent some pins and threw in a Noctua fan. The picture below is a mockup before completion as I forgot to snap more pics before I gave it to him. It's been 6 years and it still running strong I originally had a different xbox in mind for this with a Chameleon mod chip, if I remember correctly. The previous owner let the capacitors leak resulting in it always powering on when plugged in. I was ok with this, given its use case, until it caused issues when running so I quickly put this softwood together for him instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRince404 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Lots of unused space in it though, also nice GPU heatsink. Would look cool with a translucent case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me it's about the profile you see sitting under the TV. When I was looking at these cases I felt this one looked better than ones that were shorter in width (Or height).

prtscn Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 polish it to mirror finish xbox is designed to have exhaust fan to suck air from front and side vents, not sure how it impacts this system in the long term. Power supply, motherboard needs some air moving. 160 pata drive is lame where is the power button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can barely see it in the pic It's not the most clear from the pics but there's a fan right above the chips pulling air up and out of the case. This particular mod is pre-covid and is still running strong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
