(Xbox 360 case, micro atx motherboard, 2GB ram, cpu, and micro itx power supply.)

Ok so I will be modding a PC into an Xbox 360 case. Similar to the mod that Mogler did but hopefully will improve on a couple factors that he somewhat lacked in. Remember, nothing beats the original but I am willing to try :P

(Put the RAM and CPU/fan and heatsink in on the motherboard)

(Cut some rectangles out of some aluminum I had sitting around off some xbox cases and am using them as a platform for the motherboard to be screwed onto. Bolted them into the metal xbox casing.)

(smoothed out the inside of the front panel of the xbox case to prepare or bondo)

(Just got back from getting the bondo and next step is prepping the face plate to apply the bondo)

(Got some of my computer case thumb screws and am going to use it on the bottom plastic to let the xbox set higher.)

(Got the faceplate all bondo'd up and ready for modding/paint)

(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi232.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee200%2FM0NK3Y-MAN911%2FConsole%2520mods%2F395.jpg&hash=f97b2130d222c31a97843df1be4bb0bc23917e4c)
(A lot of the reason for me not updating as much as I'd like to was because I was waiting on the majority of my parts to get in. Well they're all finally here. Only waiting on 1 more thing from china and I'll have it all. Shown in the picture are power/reset button, 80mm fan grill, tape, 2 50mm fans, u-channel molding, 2-2 pin connectors, and bolts and screws.)

Keep it up 12456632, you will do better than Mogler's  PC-360.

(Motherboard is finally all bolted in. It's being held by 4 bolts, it's very sturdy.)

(Showing the motherboard being elevated off of the mounting platform by 11 washers. It's probably a good half inch off the platform so I won't have to worry about anything shorting out.)
