Original Xbox in an NES shell.

I just assumed that you wanted to do it because you were using your XBox as an NES emulator.   

Yeah, amoung others. I love the NES. It was my first video game love. Always been a Nintendo fan over all other consoles. Also, it would be funny to show people Halo playing on an NES.

Sure, it's possible. However, it would be easier to modify something or make an enclosure to accommodate the internal power supply from the XBox.

You think so? I was trying to figure out which way would be easier. They have ways to use ATX PC psu's on the Xbox too. If there are any 360-like PC power supplies that are that small and external, that would work too.

Yeah, it's just a matter of some crimping wires and making or magnifying an existing controller to work. If I recall, the original XBox uses a standard molex style connectors for everything. It would be as simple as lengthening the cables, crimping new ends on and possibly sleeving the cable to make it look nice.

Ok, you just reminded me of why I wanted to use the 360 supply. I want to have a nice, easy way to disconnect the PSU, and unplugging the big molex plug would be about impossible from the outside. Thought about putting a new socket and cord on it, but I dont know what would work.

I've never seen the 360 super slim in real life, (nor Xbox One or PS4), but the super slim PS3 looks like a damn toy!

If you think that's bad...

Well, the PS2 slim is probably 1/5 of the size of the PS3 super slim!

I agree about the original xbox looking alright as is. I have the Halo edition which looks pretty neat. The only thing I don't like are the grooves because I need qtips to really clean the dust out of them. I like my Xbox One but the sheer size of the thing is offensive. It's a big lard ass of a console.

The size of the Xbox One always takes people by surprise. I had mine set up next to my PS4 and when I had people over who hadn't seen an Xbox One in person, they always assumed that the Xbox 360 E must be the X1.

The styling does have similarities, I admit. But I do find it interesting how put off/in disbelief people are by the size once they find out which one is which.

Not because of the size, because of the stupid disc drive on the newest PS3!

I cannot dispute the cheapness of the disc tray design. Cannot and will not. But I kind of prefer it to slot-loading designs, which have always made me uncomfortable a little bit.

It's probably more reliable long-term than either of the previous designs though, for whatever that's worth.

Ah, that's a good point. I didn't even think of that.

Yeah, you never have to worry about loosing your disc inside the console.
