XBox with ATX PSU

Post by **gannon** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 7:55 pm

Figured it may be nice to have a more clear view of the difference/conversion between an XBox and ATX PSU.

AFAIK the only things that need work other than the pinout (as marked with an X) are the following:
5V Standby on ATX needs to be converted to 3.3V
Power OK needs to be converter to 3.3V
Power On needs to be inverted
Not too hard, good for anyone doing an XBox laptop (or any project, like me: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=23945 )

Glad you're putting the Xbox to good use. I was planning on making it into a laptop, but I needed money. As soon as I get a job (and thus cash), I'll get another Xbox and a 12" screen and make it into a laptop.
Has the hard drive in it kicked the bucket yet? I know it was in bad shape, you could even hear platter shavings sliding around when you tilted it.

Not yet, but while checking out the hdd contents the XBox lags horribly. Almost tempted to buy a picoPSU and mod it to work with XBox, but at the same time it'd be useless for my project
