ShinGoutetsu Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 So as you may know i've already designed 2 different xbox mini cases and I'm also working on a full replacement case. This design sits in between these two, it loses the DVD rom and uses a 2.5" HDD/SSD instead of the full sized HDD. It also keeps the original PSU. The lid incorporates ducting to guide air over the heatsinks and also holds the HDD/SSD. Sttill a work in progress but heres a quick look so far: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Concept looks excellent. I'm very interested to see the progress on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbaj Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Would you be building the case via a 3d printer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localgamerz Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Now this is pretty cool, I've been working on one myself, though its slow progress as i work 2 other jobs right now. I've got the model done. main thing I've been trying to figure out is how to power the xbox without the psu inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to add some long wires connecting to the Mobo and the HDD, but seems fairly doable. Insulate the wires coming out of the back of the case to the PSU box and plug it in like normal. Downside is having a hard wired PSU. Edited January 24 by MadMartigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
