Overview Aims to solve overheating problems in first gen Xbox 360 Full size ATX case instead of Xbox case Additional cooling Addition of 3 rd party wireless networking hardware Maintains all of Xbox 360 functionalities

Motivation Needed an affordable media center Xbox 360 already on hand suffering from red ring problems after several repair attempts Aftermarket cooling options helped but still failed, more drastic measures needed

Problem Statement Needed media center capable of streaming over Wi-Fi on a limited budget Xbox 360 on hand suffered from overheating problems causing it to be unreliable 360 also lacked wireless capabilities

Assumptions Cost effective but only if Xbox does not need to be purchased Assumes source of Xbox failure is poor ventilation and insufficient cooling

Proposed Solution Disassemble console down to basic components Transplant all Xbox 360 hardware into a full size ATX computer case Include additional cooling fans Add wireless networking hardware Extend all connections and make them external to the computer case

Results Fully functional Xbox 360 housed inside a computer case

Results Wi-Fi Capabilities from TP- Link TL-WA701ND Access point configured as a client bridge Internal to computer case

Results USB and HDMI ports made accessible externally via extension cables USB connected to computer case front panel ports

Results Two additional fans controlled by switch inside front panel of case

Results Optical drive easily accessible inside front panel of case

Results All components housed in computer case

Results Finished Product

Conclusion Rough around the edges but fully functional Overheating problems solved All functions of Xbox 360 console maintained Compatible with (b/g/n)

Future Work Replacement of Xbox power brick and auxiliary power supply with standard computer power supply Cleaner wire routing Additional fan (total of 3) Addition of LED lights inside case
