Openings have been cut out:

From the top with the bottom put back on, I left a strip down the middle for structural support (you will see later on):

This is an original actual Xbox I started gutting:

Gutted out:

From the top, and that is the only exhaust fan I have to work with so I will have to make the best of it:
(IMG:http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af101/NateTeebo/11-2.jpg)
Xbox on top of A/V switcher, same panels cut out from the Xbox bottom as the switcher's top (aka Dremel):
(IMG:http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af101/NateTeebo/12-2.jpg)
Look at all this room for a microATX board, and the CPU heat sink will be just below the exhaust fan. I needed to leave this strip because it has the stand off supports for the HDD and DVD trays.

It looks good, but if you sell it on eBay you'll have to call it something more accurate, like "AV switch in an Xbox case"........

What have you been smoking? Xbox Dev consoles are Xboxes with more RAM and different BIOSes and keys etc, not some AV switch transplanted into a cut down Xbox shell! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Dude I realize that! But do you know how many retarded collectors there are in this world that would buy it in a heartbeat if it's a one of a kind item and done up nicely. Dev consoles might look like normal Xboxes but before they decided on that they might have made a few prototypes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
No no no, it's not an AV switch in an Xbox case you need to follow this thread further.... it will run Windows, and the AV switch components don't even exist anymore!

Ah. Now I understand. You started with an Intec AV switch and an Xbox and you're merging the cases together into a brilliant new Frankenstein hybrid and adding a PC motherboard - but it's still fraud if you call it a Dev Kit prototype, nomatter how gullible the buyer might be!
......and the fact that you've advertised your intentions publicly makes it more difficult to defend if you get caught.....

Oh well, someone will buy it as something. I mean they have NES cases with PC's shoved inside for $250-500 on ebay so this should bring in a few bucks when finished all dressed up!

The rear gutted:

I had some old WRT-54G routers laying around and a set of high gain antennas so I figured I would use up those left and right RCA output holes in the back of the A/V switcher so I installed the male connectors:

With the high gain antennas that will be wired to a wifi device:

Ok I have no idea what to do about this thread or the OP for that matter. This hing you are making is not an xbox because it will not contain an xbox motherboard. You have mislabeled this thread because the title does not even come close to describing this crap you are building. You have basically stated you are gonna try and scam some "retarded collectors" on ebay. Guess I am gonna just have to talk to a head mod to see what actions to take.
Ok? You really feel the need to try and report something like this!? Maybe you might want to spend that time practicing reading up on English because I already stated my intent has been changed. If you REALLY have that much time on your hands find a way for me to change the title of the thread or shut your pie hole.

How about I shut YOUR pie hole for a few days?
What a dumbass.
Your intentions were to hack up some xbox parts (and accessories), then attempt to sell your creation as a "prototype" with the hopes that you'll find some idiot who will fall for it & drop a few hundred on a hunk of junk. Now that people are calling you out on this, you decide to tell someone to shut their pie hole?
Consider YOUR pie hole shut for the next three days.

Besides your stated intentions to deceive someone over this hunk of junk you're planning on calling a "prototype," you also told a forum moderator to shut his pie hole.
Enjoy your 3 day vacation. Spend that time catching up on the forum rules and reflect on your actions.

Just do yourself a favor and delete my account I am done here with you non creative people who can't handle "shut your pie hole" if he was in front of me he wouldn't exist to speak another word. GOODBYE

not that it means anything anymore, but if anyone else if thinking of this i feel the need to point out the 250-500 dollar NES PCs typically have 250-500 dollars worth of PC components in them, its not all profit (or even close)
BTW im stealing the implied facepalm pic

We will surely miss you. Try xbox.com forums. I hear they are great with mods.

There's still at least one image over at images.google.com when you search "intec A/V switcher."
EDIT: I found 2 of them in the google image cache. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
