Hey guys,
now my N64p is on hold 'till the buttons arrive, I wanna start a new project, slimming down my Xbox Classic and giving it a nice casemod.
Does anyone have some pictures about slimming down the mobo? I'm pretty broke so this is a low-budget operation and I can't kill my only Xbox :p

Re: Xbox mobo cutting
Here's some worklogs for slim xboxes that one of my online buddies did:

Re: Xbox mobo cutting
You'd be pretty damn crazy to try to cut an xbox mobo, there are at least a two layer board with a zillion contacts to reconnect. Since you can't change the size of the motherboard, you have to get a slim CPU cooler and lay down the capacitors to make the height (or depth) smaller
PS: There are some hi resolution scans of a version 1.1 and 1.6 motherboards here

I am crazy,
But ok, I'll small it down w/o/ cutting then. Thanks!
Does anyone happen to have a link for the Pico-PSU you kneed for an Xbox with internal 2.5" hard drive?

Re: Xbox mobo cutting
For an example of how you can really slim the height down, see the Xbox Micro.
As for the PicoPSU, maybe check hackmodford's xbook log.
