Xbox in SFF PC?

I was thinking...what if I bought a SFF case and mounted an Xbox in it? Would the motherboard fit? The rest doesn't seem too hard, except maybe the PSU not fitting in the case, not sure the dimensions on the Xbox PSU or the slot for the PSU in the case. Controllers wouldn't be bad, I could use the front USB ports for two controllers and then mount two gameports in a 3.5" bay.

Is this feasible?

Depends on what you call SFF. It wouldn't work with a Shuttle, but a Monarch Hornet would work.

Xbox motherboards are bigger than even FlexATX spec. You'll have to jump up to MicroATX to make it fit.

Then just get a v1.2 to v1.5 Xbox, and hack the existing PC PSU to make it work. :D

Hmm...is a Monarch Hornet still a minicube PC?

The Xbox I'm getting is a v1.6. What will that get me?

Thanks for input! :D

I am in process with said project, I have a ATX convertor from Tribemods and it works perfect, I will be mounting in an ASUS vintage case along with the PC for an all in one solution, It can and will be done :)
