Hi All
Ive seen this modfication done multiple times before most the time with very low end hardware most likely due to the size constraints of the classic Xbox chassis.
I believe after extensive research i have worked out what parts i need to fit into the Xbox chassis and im looking for some verification on the compatibiliy of the parts. Id also like some recommendations on cooling options for a tight space as i have not yet finalised what im doing in this department at the moment.
Potential PC Parts List
Asus Maximus VII Impact mini ITX LGA1150
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0 Quad Core Processor
Kingston Fury Black Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Shuttle PC63 500W PSU
4x Samsung Spinpoint M9T 2.5 5400RPM Internal HDD (RAID10)
USB Ports Usage
Depending on if it works im intending on using 2x Play TV Dual TV Tuners (formally used on the PS3). Im currently running 1 on my current PC and that works fine, just havent explored the option of two yet.
Undecided
Have not yet decided on the Optical media at this point. Im aware that the motherboard only has 4 Sata ports so i may need to consider and external USB optical drive of some sort so this may also take another USB Port.
Any recommendations im happy to listen, just note that most the parts that were listed were chosen specifically for their size to fit into the Xbox chassis.
I should probably also add, many people ask me why i want to do such a thing. I dont really have a proper answer for you to be honest, i guess i just want something to challenge myself and to say that i recycled my old gaming console. Plus i think it will look cool and retro.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
