Modifying the Xbox, Micro Xbox



Here is a comparison of my xbox and a regular sized xbox. Remember that everything was a tight fit squeezing bare pc board inside. So getting a xbox inside was definitely a challenge. Then entire cooling system was rerouted. Two fans added. The power button is removed so that the wires can be extended and power button installed in the dash somewhere nifty. The area where the fan use to be is only one inch tall now. Only a blower can fit into such a tight space. Also I removed the xbox logo since once it was installed it was upside down. The hole where the logo was serves as a nifty air vent, aiding heat dissipation from the massively modified cooling system. The side block is a squirl cage fan. Very quiet and moves arounf 30 cfm through a quater inch gap.
