Winner Announcement: Win a Xbox One S All-Digital Edition!!

Hi all!

If I'll win the XBox One, I'd like to modify it in order to make it portable, adding mostly a liquid cooling system, just like I did several months ago on my Sony PlayStation 4.
Here are some pictures:







As you can see, I created a sort of "suitcase" containing my PS4 (totally disassembled...) and on top I added an LCD display showing all info about all temperatures:





I hope to realize it on the XBox One as well!

Thank you!

Great mod, and great idea for the xbox using the pass through like that!

Good with the competition!

That is a full on hardcore mod! Have you had any issues with air locks in the water system with moving the system about?

I wondered if the Xbox could move toward a low profile centrifugal fan (like a graphics card) and go really thin witout the optical drive?

Good luck in the competition!

Thank you!

Yes, initally I had some issues but I fixed anything!

About concerning the Xbox question, well...I'll have to try it!!!

Thank you again!

Last year I finished my second Wii portable:

Its a very compact and small system made from original Wii hardware. Since there is no emulation it has perfect compatibility and will run any game, though some games will require external wii remotes. It was originally made for the 2018 BitBuilt summer building contest, and I'm making another one this year, though it is far from done at this point.

The internals were quite messy, but it worked out lol

If I got the Xbox I would probably use it to try and make a slimmed down version of it (considering there's no disc drive), or even a portable system if the thermal constraints aren't as bad as I'm expecting them to be.

Portable GameCube/Wii of mine that I closed up a couple months ago! I designed the case in AutoDesk Inventor from the ground up, and themed the device after Louie from the Pikmin series.  It's got a real Wii inside so that all games run at full speed.  It also gets over 5 hours of battery life.

I've never actually owned a non-Nintendo console before, so the Xbox would be a completely new horizon for me.  I wouldn't be able to make a true handheld device with it, as it's definitely going to be consuming too much power to run it off of batteries with any sort of success, but a laptop-esque design would be a lot of fun!  I'm also starting to get into molding controller buttons for custom controllers, so I'd love to have an Xbox controller to mold buttons from for all sorts of projects, maybe future portables, maybe just cool controllers for my friends.

Thanks!

Not my best work but currently the only custom designed controller I own. I can only imagine the designs I could make on the xbox console if I had the opportunity.

I've modded several consoles over the years, my most recent was putting a Raspberry Pi Zero in an old snes cartridge.

My plans for the Xbox would to find a way to Install it in a hidden spot in my travel trailer.  We go camping a lot during the summer and I often bring a console for my kids to play or stream media on when its raining or are just getting bored.  The fact that discs don't need to be inserted and it can be turned on by the controller make me want to find a spot to have it hidden and run an HDMI cable to the wall mounted TV

I can’t officially enter because I am not 18 yet, but I thought it might be cool to show one of my first projects that I would recreate. Its an original xbox with a clear case and led modded. I used a cd to attach the leds in parallel. It worked really well because the cd reflected the light. The picture doesn't look as good as it did in person. I ended up selling this one for $80 at the time because I didn’t know how to do other mods. I am going to recreate one with the original xbox for when I go to college, but tsop flash and use rgb leds instead. I would use rgb leds with an xbox one s if I had one spare. With all the extra space and power in the xbox one s the leds would be pretty simple. I would maybe look in to adding an ssd with the extra space and 3d printing an adapter.

I have never modded anything, well, I do trim my nails, and I lobed the tip of my thumb off, soo, hey I did do some modding lol. I've never had an Xbox system before, PlayStation loyalist here, but I could be persuaded to, you know, switch sides. wink wink
