• HTPC Build
    10 replies, posted
I have a broken XBox 360, and I've heard of people gutting and turning them into home theater PCs. I decided to try a build for this. Is this good?[IMG]http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/8691/neweggcomonceyouknowyou.png[/IMG]
No. Remember the horrible cooling?
Huh? No, no I do not.
If you have some case-modding experience, it shouldn't be too hard. If not, you'll learn a lot. [editline]22nd March 2011[/editline] Also there are smaller cases than the Xbox 360 used for HTPCs.
I have a 360 case on hand, so I figured I'd save some cash. Oh shit, the picture broke. Hang on, let me fix it.
That is not an HTPC. That is a pussy little grandma's computer. Real HTPC's have Xeon X3440's and 9800 GX2's :frogc00l:

Oh, does it need a GPU? I think I forgot about that.

I'm not the best with case stuff, but it seems pretty reasonable priced.
How's this? [IMG]http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/7350/neweggk.png[/IMG]
