i might buy one of these and use my 16gb sd with it to boot xbmc,i dont care bout only having 16gb my xbox is networked to my pc with a 1tb hdd so i play all my games apps and movies off that,i dont think i'll keep the disk drive cos i never use it anyways i just play games over the network,
this guy made an awesome one but it doesnt have a disk drive,oh well its still really really awesome!i dont plan on going as thin as this guys one because i dont wanna change the heatsinks and/or psu cos i'm really lazy:

Go for it! Those are all over XBOXscene.com.
I dont think I am ever going to get a new HDD now. I do the same as you I just network and leave it all on my PC.
One thing is that you cant play games from the PC, they still have to be on the HDD at least. I dont even know when the last time I played a game was. I just use it for music and movies ( XBMC ).

Ha Ha thats actually my xbox. Since then I have made another one and dropped the disk drive so it loaded from the side. Needless to say I had to replace the heatsink.

i was thinking about replacing the heatsink but will it keep it cooler

cool its an honour to have you on the site,i was wondering what drive to use and will i have to reflash the firmware on it?u did a great job of this slimbox but my one is probably not going to have a dvd drive,im going to put a 160gb laptop hdd into it,without the drive i can make it super slim!!!!i dont play games anyways and if i wanted to i could just play em off the hdd
-
hey i just started work on mine too :tup: yeah id love to keep the drive let me know if you find anything out :cool:
-
from what i can tell you can make the drive slimer if you take it apart and not use the shell of it
-
yes you can i have a pdf tut for that if anyone needs it but id just like an fully funtional drive :victory:
-
Why would it not be functional? You can make it still function by making your own piece for the upper spindle thing. :victory:
-
well im making tuts for my slim but its taking longer cos i dont really have everything so i have to wait im still looking for the right heat sink for the job
-
ask tr4g he did an awesome xbox mod and put in new heatsinks
