xboxS

The idea was to make the xbox smaller and lighter, I dont really need a dvd drive always hooked up so that was the first to go, I have evox loading and a bios that doesnt check for the drive. Here is what I have so far, I cut the top too much as you can see, So theres going to be a lot of bondo going in there.
Sorry for the bad images, they are taken with a sony EyeToy, Ill get a real digital camer out and take some more pics asap.

For the back I'm going to use tinted acrilic and just cut holes for the av and network, I have a wireless adapter thats going in ther and the atenna will stick up and out the back, that will, by far, be the coolesst part.

Here you can compare one of my other xboxs to this one, not TOO much smaller, but its a lot lighter with no dvd drive:

Um.. how are you going to be able to play on it without a DVD drive? I believe xbox games are on DVD discs because I don't think they fit on a CD.

Ok, how are you going to get new games on the HDD? Plug it into a PC?

pc dvd drives dont read xbox games

They do if you have an Xbox emulator program.
