This is, by far, the cleanest and most beautiful thing I've seen in ages. Well done Bob. Well done.

[@ORACLEOW]

Oh My God, Just look at how clean it is, totally flawless, that's a perfect build, amazing dude

[@junny97008]

This is the best implementation I have seen! Great build!

[@MARCELO6912]

This project read my mind ... it really is beautiful!

[@FadeArcade92]

Saw the link on PC part picker. Quality job dude... Like holy crap. Great work. I bet your temps are solid too with the case design like it is. Wow

[@JoshOfAllTrades.]

Absolutely love the idea :D found this on pcpartpicker

[@bbustthemboys1414]

That is the crazy, smart, and awesome idea I ever seen so for in my life of Gaming! Let’s get some claps for this man for inspires me to do the same and creating a pc inside of a XBox 1 S 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@gipsydanger013]

Beautiful build. Nice work... I really enjoyed this video. :)

[@akshatdabas9547]

This build is satisfying AF!

[@Diabl0x9]

Hi ! What kind of result do you get between a legit Xbox One and an average gaming PC ? (How much FPS mainly) Thanks.

[@wazbat1]

Benoît - Diablox9 Xbox one is usually locked to 30fps, some games like racing games run at 60fps. On a 1050ti on console style settings you can get pretty much anything. It's a balance of what settings you want to play at and what FPS you're ok with. Some will want stuff to run at the highest possible settings or even full real 4k which looks leagues ahead of an Xbox but would run at 30-40 FPS, or run it at still high settings and get 60+ FPS though more than 60 doesn't really matter too much unless you have screen that can display it. Most TVs are 60hz but some gaming monitors are 144hz which looks super smooth

[@AllKinaTing]

Eddie sent me here :)

[@jmoney1810]

Absolutely amazing. U just earned a new Sub 👍🏾!!! I’ll definitely recommend you to my buddies.

[@Modded.Buildz]

Really Nice build ;-) I Love it!

[@MysticWhiteDragon.]

You should sell a set with the acrylic base and a back panel with support for the standard motherboard IO shield and dual PCI slot. That way anyone can make their own!

[@f8dragon4]

That's what I was thinking people need to make a back panel with support for an i/o shield

[@luiscampos6725]

IO shield doesn't fit in there because it is too narrow for an IO shield. That's why it is custom to his board. I have made a few of these with different motherboards and cpu's and that was one of the first things I tried.

[@dctaken]

damn, thats a beauty!!!!!!!! i would buy the case, that base and led as a kit. looks fun and capable to do.

[@MysticWhiteDragon.]

Man am I glad I visited this video again! Thanks for sharing the baseplate layout. Sadly, I only have a small dremel so it'll take a while. But it's well worth the wait.

[@Sinjected]

Ryan D where did he share it? LINK PLS

Whats the over/under on this thing burning up after a few hours of hard use because the GPU isnt vented AT ALL.

Depends actually, xbox 1 in general has pretty solid airflow / cooling

[@adam_adam55]

[@andreassterballe1723]

[@SogekiSV]

I'm in love

[@Underdose]

could you possibly make a video of how you measured and made that motherboard "back plate/conversion plate" as well as the io shield? might do something like this soon and would like to have a head start

[@platinumbeats5061]

Underdose It's Gucci!

[@AlanGonzalez-om4rr]

A bit late, but probably he did it manually using a caliper and the original backplate as a guide

[@MirelRC]

He used the original backplate and after that he measured xbox one s backplate, but before back plate he put the motherboard with the black suport in xbox one s case (with original backplate, without closing the xbox one s case) to get i/o ports distance between left side and right side, oh and he put the gpu in and power port, after that he made a sketch using the measures to get the new backplate. Something like this. Not too hard to think.

[@toontownlegomaster]

I feel like they 3d printed it.

[@covathetech]

Fire!!!

[@Lobstersarefabulouz]

now this is damn cool :D

[@dexshrader7753]

Awesome job! I’m thinking of trying my hand at a similar build. Do you by any chance know the diameter of the front panel power button hole in millimeters for a custom switch?

[@cyguy4554]

Your a legend

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Awesome build. I have a question. What can we do if we don’t have a cutter to make them parts for the back or the motherboard?

[@sohamdambalkar1602]

Imagine bringing this to a console-only tournament.

[@Yungjehdi]

this inspired me to want to learn how to 3D print so i can do the same thing !

[@matheusgaviolli9505]

How much temperature? the GPU does not get hot?

[@GamingDemons]

Awesome vid bro. Just f@#king outstanding. I love this so much. What would something like this cost if u were to sell one. I just love it man. Great job!!!!!!

[@razoruner]

Great Job. Like. Just one question. Is there enough space for optical drive slim? Instead your LED.

[@qinetiqg]

nice !!!!!

[@braidensellers]

How much would you charge me to have just the housing part built like I just want the cutouts and stuff so all I would have to do is mount all my parts into it I already have a mini itx motherboard and everything

[@XtremeDesert]

Awesome build.. how did you get the power button to work did you use a touch sensor?

[@aligood1817]

Nice

[@idevastate_exe]

I want this!!

[@Almostgfx]

Gonna give this a read, really curious how you made the external power work with the motherboard and everything without using a psu. Great stuff!

[@Onio_Saiyan]

Query: are the special parts used to seat the motherboard into the case and the back of the case 3d printable? I'm actually interested in doing this little project.

[@billfloyd806]

First and foremost nice build! The top cover with all the vent holes, was it printed? Also, it appeared the led light bar was connected to a nano? What is the part number to that light bar. Do you have a list of where you purchased all the other items?

[@DoomWalker42]

That is incredible! You should give the Xbox case a custom paint job maybe to suit a video game or movie franchise. Really cool idea. Where did you get the design for the tray that the motherboard is standing on and is it made from 3D printing or is it some kind of metal? Also what power supply did you use? I have a 200 watt pico psu but not sure what laptop charger to use as they are very expensive. What components did you use for the build and how long did it take you to make all the parts for the case?

[@MaxXGrand]

Yes its amasing 🤙😁

[@cmpq766]

Could you give a write up the whole build process? I would love to build one myself.

[@Worsens]

Yes please!

[@Worsens]

No, he's talking about building the base plate where he mounted the motherboard too.

[@pim1943]

What I'm most interested in is if there's a set for sale for the external PSU or if it's all custom made.

[@MysticWhiteDragon.]

They probably used one of the following: www.mini-box.com/Power-Supplies-Kits or www.hdplex.com/hdplex-160w-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html

[@baguettebaguetteneverforge1758]

Ryan D Do you think I can swap that 1050ti for a 1060 and a i5?

[@wazbat1]

FECK! I really wanted to do this too! Really nice job though man! Good idea with the low profile gpu. I was experimenting with mounting it using a 2U server Riser which would have the fans pointing down. I've gotta get it done at some point but I guess I'll use an xbox one case and try and do an internal PSU setup, though I genuinely can't find any broken xbox one's to get a case for at a reasonable price

[@AlanGonzalez-om4rr]

Using an 2U riser and a 3D-Printed kind-of funnel like the one Linus did for his server would be a nice idea due to the ventilation holes at the side, it will keep the gpu really cool.

[@6mindcrime6]

Looks neat😎 did same build last weekend. Got a external psu on in and vesa mounted it on 27" monitor. But was wondering if i can use one psu for both monitor and pc. It is a ips led 27" 22watts with build in adapter. i5 9400f 65w and gtx 1050 ti lp 75watts. Psu adapter is 200

[@belghazihaytam5006]

Veri nice

[@MarkFlower99]

people say whats the point i say because you can XD this is awesome and im surprised it fit in such a small xbox case

[@sairamganesh88]

can i know what are the heights of the standoff which you have used for the build for mounting the motherboard and GPU ?

[@leba4942]

[@Solidsnakefr77860]

Hello, i have a question. have you more precision about the led band you are using and how did you connect it to the eject button ? Thank you and awesome job as every time !

[@shadoww01f_gaming34]

If you look closely while he's installing it, you can see that it was manufactured by Adafruit. Best bet would be to start looking on their website.

[@thediscoman2001]

thyats mint mate that

[@giovanni233]

I wish that custom mounting plate was sold online

[@opencourse_kr]

Godhand!!

[@vladdraculLV]

Very cool, but I was a little curious, would it be possible to build pc master race in chassis of the Xbox One fat, something like an i9-9900K and an RTX 2080ti? I ask why there is a PC chassis called Zaber Sentry, and it is slightly larger than Xbox One fat, but it still has the same volume as the Xbox One fat (7 liters), and it is possible to build a configuration equal to that I quoted, but I still have not checked to see some chassis, even indie with the same format of Xbox One fat.

[@helderXCO]

hi I would love to add this spectrum effect to RGB LEDs. Can I buy the controller and its LED strip? Thanks!

[@greenmachine6672]

Wow!!!!! Is there a way to buy the motherboard stand that you have?
