PC built in xbox case

[smelly]

I have an original xbox that I don't use anymore. I was wondering if I can build a computer using the xbox case. I understand I would need to use a dremel to cut some stuff out which I have no problem doing.

Would I be able to fit a q6600 with a low profile graphics card in the case?

I searched on google and couldn't find anything...if anybody has any links that would be great.

TIA

the power supply already in it would work for a P-3 [like the xbox already has] because it draws from 5V the psu only has 1.2 amps on the 12V rail, also use a laptop hard drive, and save the 12V for a cd drive, also, the atx pinout is different, so you'll need to change it, I run a pentium m on a mini itx motherboard on that power supply.

A mini-ITX mod with the original Xbox case:

I wouldn't put in a Q6600 due to cooling issues. And you would need to use a mini-ITX motherboard.

I MUST use a mini-itx board? I have no problem cutting some stuff to fit more fans to help with cooling. I don't want to use a P-3 because my plans are to use this as a gaming pc...more towards racing sims.

I was looking at this page:

no details are given but what size motherboard is that?

Thanks for all the help

That appears to be a Mini ATX board because it has more than one expansion slot.

I think I can see 4 expansion slots. If so, that's a microATX board.
