The donor Xbox

The xbox dvd drive with the casing removed to fit in the new case.     

 USB sockets fitted to the front panel.

Remote power on board, this allows the console to be switched via the Xbox remote.

Xbox infra red receiver fitted to the front panel

The motherboard and PSU fitted with an extended power cable.

The finished Xbox

Front panel showing LCD panel working

The basic LCD panel was not bright enough to read in the room so we fitted a backlit model from RS Components.

We found that the solid back did not allow enough ventilation so we fitted a mesh back to the case.
