I was thinking of using my Xbox 360 hardware, the Box, as sort of like a case for my gaming PC. I plan on preserving its hardware, circuit board, hard drive and such, but I was curious if this is even possible?

Like, can I take out the circuit board, install fresh PC components that I picked up, install it into the box once everything is out. Using this as a normal PC. I also understand about the Fans, power consumption, and you know… Just wondering on your thoughts if I should do this, if it’s a good idea or what.

Thanks!

    You could probably fit something inside the chassis, but why? It doesn’t have standard mounting hardware for any ATX form factor, you’ll need to source a slim PSU, and at the end of the day, without a ton of effort to make the build work, and additional thought put into the cooling (etc) you’re going to destroy a working console for a pretty average result with a lot of trade-offs.

    TL;DR, bad idea. You can do better.
