I Bought a $600 Xbox made of WOOD… BIG MISTAKE 😬

[@jrob0021]

I was playing around with this console again a few minutes ago, and I swear I saw a spark 😂😂 Edit: as you can see, I love buying weird custom consoles. Send me a message on my website if you have something interesting.

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

For $600 there better be no rattling pieces inside & the wood wouldve been nailed/glued better. The quality of this is infuriating

Right

defnitely sub-par woodworking.. more like the builder did not care

Bro got scammed

@@OblivionPrime sure looks like it, tho he did say he got some money back from the seller. still, too much of a scam to me

Sometimes Jacob buy things of questionable value, that you can argue is worth it to the right person, but this thing is just straight up not worth the price he paid lol

[@ninjapwnsatlyfe]

A console made out of wood, soaked in varnish, that's got a whole bunch of electronics inside that can possibly spark. Fun stuff lol

[@XenonXBR]

The interior COULD have been good if they took the time to make sure everything actually sits into place. Fun fact: adhesive exists. There’s no saving the case though. Bad idea from the start.

[@jackass1585]

Huge black rod

[@philsinclair]

Literally just threw the guts of an OG Xbox into a random wooden box and called it a day 😂

[@NullFame]

This video reminds me of my gutted broken xbone s in a shoe box. Maybe I can make an x shoe box😅. If only there was a wood duke controller for this fire wood drawer xbox 😹

[@jamboc4202]

If paid 600 for a wooden xbox i would want it made of high quality wood and carved exactly like the console

[@RestorationRelaxation]

I can’t believe someone would charge more than $50 for that garbage

[@andrewscotti1136]

personally i would go with a whole new custom case at this point but if not i would add more vents, at least one by the power supply to increase cooling.

[@mrbanjax]

The reason it has the eject button as the power button is because only the eject button lights up, and because it doesn’t have a disk drive it’s perfectly fine to use that instead

[@laz7777]

I don't get going through this much effort to mod and build the wooden case and then just not taking the time to secure things properly and make it look better, especially for $600.

[@stephenoliveau]

The size of the box isnt really an issue when considering cooling... the issue is that there is zero airflow over the PSU with this design/layout. That looks like your typical round IDE cable from the early to mid 00s with the sleeving removed. They also could have just put a jumper on the DVD power cable to remove the drive entirely. It would have saved space and improved the overall thermal profile. Also, when removing the DVD drive, it would be more space efficient to use a different IDE>SATA adapter.

[@nubatman]

Reminds me of the chopped Xbox I made except a lot more sketchy. I took out the top shielding, cropped the case, gutted the dvd drive and softmodded it. My hdd is set above the dvd board that has kapton tape all over it.

[@bryanobrien2726]

There's no air coming out because the mesh vent isn't freely passing any fresh air . They shouldn't have used fine mesh , pet mesh would be best if you really have to use it . I would drill some holes in the front and or sides so that it doesn't overheat .

[@NateWolfKira]

The material on the bottom of the interior appeared to be tool box liner. Which is usally made of foam rubber.

[@ileox4170]

You can build noDVD with every Revision motherboard this way. Or you can build them without any DVD PCB as well. It doesn‘t come down to 1.6 to build it like that. The Fan was not ramped up in the Bios. So it Runs all the Time on 20%. With stock Fan no Problem, but a replacement have to be at least 80%. Your settings change in the dashboard only change in the dashboard. InGame it will get back to 20%. Modder perspective from me: nice idea, potential is there, but this build is not more then concept and is very far away from finished 600$ custom quality.

[@dctaken]

With how 3d printing is getting better and better, I wonder why people with the skills haven't designed custom cases for consoles or console like cases for PC parts.

[@HundredKnight]

That power supply is dangerous. Left alone could burn your house down

[@VersatileElement]

5:38 BIONICLE!!! I actually used to have a copy on PC

[@HughMungusREAL]

Honestly the worst (and funniest) part of this console is that they used cheap particle board instead of actual lumber. Had they just spent a few dollars more, it would have looked 1000x better.

[@danielthibodeausharkjaws2086]

Couldn't imagine buying an Xbox made of wood... anyways, when you mentioned Burnout, it reminded me of how much fun I used to have playing Burnout dominator on the Ps2 way back when... So many memories, remember getting a lot of the different cars unlocked and eventually got up to the fire truck. Unfortunately, I lost my PS2 memory card, so don't have all of that saved data anymore. My dad and I used to play Burnout ALL of the time, but I don't have a PS2 anymore but still look back and remember the fun we had. Hopefully one day I'll be able to get a PS2 and play burnout again with my dad. Awesome video by the way. Can't wait to see what other odd consoles you buy.

[@Wolverine97.]

Bionicle BRO you literally just unlocked a memory from my childhood. How did I forget about this game 🤣 downloading it now on my PS2 emulator on Steam Deck. Thankyou

[@chriskutz7144]

You said hot wood . 😂🤣

[@snakefriesia6808]

if i had made an custom xbox with a wooden hull i would have done it very differently, with every corner made out of thick square pieces holding the panels together

[@yu-giboohart5732]

Bro paid 600$ for an emulator made in a garage😂

[@ambercaldwell5396]

This looks like a school science project 😂

[@ceehumps]

Hell yea! An open power supply is super spicy!

[@HackerMan1010]

Cool idea...that wood working though💀

[@asetatlikalem]

9:30 nahhh it aint gon do anything if touched to wood. it would only be a problem if the chasis were made out of metal. but i think we all know this at this point

[@raviolibandit8396]

Plastic is more flammable than wood by the way.

[@momogoat2695]

The og Xbox gives me Ben 10 vibes love it 😊

[@ernestobesto9990]

The wook in me really wants this Xbox

[@justinbaillod4684]

You could build this dirt cheap with motherboard standoffs, wood, and HVAC tape. Also needs more room for fans. Whoever built that didn't give af and didn't even join it nicely. For 600 there should be dovetails.

[@WYDRetroYT]

The X-Wood Amish Edition

[@1995JediMaster]

I would find a way to install a large fan or 2 smaller ones in the top lid to help disperse the excess heat from the power supply.

[@ShadowDragon-cw7wb]

But what about the important question: Is it as much of a fire hazard as the OG Xbox itself?

[@CandyMandys]

the fact that they made a console out of wood amazes me

[@NeptuneSega]

What’s amazing? The console was just shoved in a shitty wooden box. They didn’t create the console. This thing is a fire hazard and a scam

[@WinstonPoptart]

@@jrob0021 yes definitely!

[@techhoarder3416]

This is literally just an OG Xbox's contents (minus the optical drive, while keeping the optical drive's PCB) rearranged into a smaller container. And the sad part is that all those wires are absolutely unnecessary. They could have just simply used a short 80-conductor IDE cable and folded any excess neatly rather than building the terrible rat's nest version of one. And instead of the more reliable Startech IDE adapter, they chose a cheap generic one. This is worth even less than the OG Xbox in my honest opinion; definitely a DIWhy sort of project.

[@snailking102]

[@gameplaynia5021]

Lmao this is definitely some dude who had parts lying around and didn't want to hunt for a replacement case and just straight up DIYd it.

The wood itself was purchased in 2020, which was $599 on its own

[@davidc3663]

Not unless if you are fron USA they pay 2 million dollars for a tiny house.

[@v1bing]

The quality is definitely not $600 worthy. The mod itself probably the coolest thing about it 😂

[@jrob0021]

Yeah a modded Xbox goes for like $200-250 I think, which is really the only saving grace for this console lol. Everything else is bad

[@adrianochoa1104]

You hope it doesn’t catch on fire after the console overheats?? Good thing you thought of what could happen, because it’s best if you have that in mind, because that can possibly happen.

I quite like the idea of a wooden Xbox. If I ever make a custom PC case I want to make it in the style of a 1940s record player. This abomination though.... Did a 10 year old make this in shop class?

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

The quality is absolutely awful
