That's sounds like a good idea if you don't plan on being mobile with your 360 all the time, I wouldn't mind trying it just for the hell of it with a spare 360 and doing some watercooling just for fun, maybe buy a broken one on ebay and fix it..Hey I know one things for sure, cooling shouldn't be an issue on air or water with a pc case, you can run some bigger case fans to help with cooling issues unlike the 360.. Smile Also, you have more options with case mods and stuff like that, there is more room to work with..

Here's an old article I found on a Lian-Li Xbox 360 case specifically for the 360 motherboard.. Or what about one of those Shuttle cases for the 360, as you can tell I don't know much about this transformation but I'm willing to help as best I can.

There was a guy that put an xbox in a PC case a while ago by himself and I can't seem to find the post at the moment.

He said he was going to make a tut but I don't know if he ever did or not.

I personally would love to be able to do this. I would really like someone who knew what they were doing do a step by step tutorial so I wouldn't have to worry about doing something wrong. Hell yeah that would be sweet! A step by step uncomplicated layman terms tutorial on how to put your 360 in a big old nicely ventilated pc tower of love! Unfortunately 99.9 percent of the tutorials on this website require you to have a physics degree because the people doing the tutorials forgot that we are not all Einsteins and speak codese. Sad
