This if defo not practical. CD were for instance never meant to be played in the vert. position. But if you don't intend to use the CD drive in the vert. position - then I see nothing wrong with it. PC motherboards are vertical inside tower cases f'rinstance.
hmm I contradict myself don't I?

Standing the Xbox up covers the bottom vents.

"any problems with having the xbox board in the verticle posititon?"
Hmmm. Somehow I'll have to go back and learn the english language again. Darned... the above DOES NOT mean he wants the box to be Verticle instead of horizontal....
I must have -ALL- of my directions backwards as well....

Thanx for your posts...Like I said I have this really sweet tower, and I want to mount the board in the verticle posistion..NOT the onboard dvd-rom I will keep that flat and sitt'n pretty..My main concern however is the controller port to the daughter-board..."not much slack"...Also Ferrall mentioned if the ide cables are too long...How long is too long...? He say's 12 inch's, while mine right now are 24"....and she works a dream...?what I am ask'n here is...(1) ..." Are the wirez coming from the daughter board easy to extend...? If-so what awg wire is recomended...?"...(2) And If this ide cable has some flexabillity....anyhow so far-so good...I thank-you in advance for your advice....

Add one of those IDE switchboxes and no more need for those crazy (and risky) multi-disk connections people are trying in another thread.
If he guts his Xbox, there is not any reason that this would not all work.

| Come to think of it, I think someone did something like this a long while back.. put an xbox, ps2, snes, nes, etc. all into a computer case. Don't know who, or where to find it, but you could search on the web. |
I remember that too, it was pretty sweet. I think it was called YoshiBox or something.
