Default X-box as case

Im thinking about making a case that looks just like an X-Box, have you heard of somewhere u can by one, and what kind of fan would it need?

Oh yeah, i know an X-Box is almost already a computer, but im talking about a overclocked comp

Any ideas

you more than likely'd need either micro-atx or nano-atx. a really small psu is also in accordance. you'd need an uber-small vid card, or integrated *sends chills down spine*...if you had the wallet, you could buy an xbox, and strip the parts out of it and throw them into a small case.

heres your mobo.. just need a heatsink that will fit, and maybe instal some sorda fan for ventilation, you can get a agp L bracket to bend the slot to make it fit, but things are going to be tight but it might work.. umm i dont know about overclocking it though

the other idea we gave the guy with the x-box case was to strip a laptop of its pieces and put in x-box
