Well I've had this Xbox original sat around for a while and as most of you know, this thing is quite beasty in size. However the xbox has loads of potenial when running XBMC. So with this in mind I have set out to make a Slim Xbox ditching the CD/DVD drive, using a 2.5" hard disk and making an external power pack to save space.

So far I've made a mould of which will be the new box for the motherboard. I will be vac forming the case on proper vac machine tomorrow. Anyway, heres a couple of pics to give you a rough idea on size.

This will be the first original xbox project I've ever seen.

I thought SS meant and original xbox handheld. Unless I read it wrong.

Yup, although I don't remember seeing the xpod completed, but I do remember dkap's xbox handheld, it was a vibrant mountain-dew green and I'm pretty sure it ran off of batteries. dkap isn't around anymore, and all his pics were hosting on his(now down) website. I'll see if I can find some, I think I saved them to my harddrive for something back then.
