I think you can buy pre-made PC cases that fix the xbox 360 online. Not sure how much they cost though.

Yeh you could do that or you could just go all out and mod your own pc case.. The 360 will work on a ATX PC power supply no problems.. Heres a tutorial which may help you.

Has anyone tried the Lan Li case?

Was thinking of getting one for my RROD box when I do the RROD fix

looking at the lin lan case is what gave me the idea.... its a 120$ i found a regular PC case Black and Red with big fans and red LED's for 49.99, Im just wonder how hard is it to mount the 360 in one? Anyone know?

You would just have to drill out new holes for the screws. Other than that it should fit in just fine.

drewthegolfgod,

I'm not sure about the holes with the 360 and if it would line up, but the more I look at a 360 mobo and my pc case i think it could fit a standard ATX case. If you do this i would recommend having fans on both of the heatsinks just as an added precaution.

Also I reviewed the lian li case and I do not recommend it for most users, for what you use it for may be. Check out my full review here

Let us know what you do!

Best Regards,
Frozenfire1

You can use what ever watt PSU you want to (200W and over), the xbox will only draw as much as it needs.

This looks like a very sweet idea you got going here and I would love to see some pictures of the whole process. Please keep us informed and when you are completely done it would be nice if you wrote a step by step instruction tutorial with pictures so people who are not as mechanically inclined can do this mod too. Very Happy Again kudos go to you for doing this mod and hopefully everything works out! Very Happy
