XBOX: BAD BOARD GOOD CASE

Post by gamer2 »

today there was a power sourge while i was playing my Xbox and it killed it. i opened it and the main Board had scortch marks and wouldnt power on, so i figured build a DOOM 3 machine and put in the XBOX case.

4 usb ports would replace the Controller

an new Ethernet card and modem

cut a place in front for the floppy drive

Put in a DVD/RW drive

External power supply if there isnt room

bolt a XBOX screen to it

have a wireless Mouse and Keyboard

i know it isnt portable but it sounds kool.

Why do you want a floppy drive? If your going to fit the essentals into the case why not get a mobo that supports USB thumb drives and do away with a drive thats over 10 years old.

Boot options depend on the motherboard. Any new board is able to boot from a CD, even a DVD.

Windows Me, eh? I suppose that'll work, if you want it to crash every 15 minutes.

get 98! In my op. it's a heck of a lot better than xp or me.
not only did xp and me slow my system down, but both of them crashed at least once a week, and each time they lost at least 3 important files of mine.

I'd like the guts to poke around with, since you can't sell them or use/fix them, why not give them to somebody who wants to experiment with them (me!) If you agree, I'll PM you with an address.

Sounds like you have some program confictions. Because I have XP and the only time it (seems to) crash is whe I try to play a DVD (system reboots). I find it really fun you like 98 more, my dads computer has it and it crashes about once every two weeks.

Personally, if I have to use a Microsoft OS, I use Win2k, it's fairly stable and compatible will all the software and games I've tried to run on it.
But I really prefer my Mac, and rank both OSX and OS9 above Windows. Dual G5 baby!

Show off... :P

I use 2k, but I might go to XP soon. It seems to be a little bit more optimized and everything, and you can get rid of the bloat.

If you want to rid yourself of all those problems with Windows switch to *BSD, Linux, UNIX.
