Absolutely Epic Xbox to Mac Transformation

os-xbox-pro[1]
This exceptional mod uses the shell of an old Xbox to house stunning new hardware.  While Macs have that sleek, sexy feel, when they’re priced at $4500 that feeling fades quickly.  So instead of buying a super expensive Mac, learn how to build your own for under $1500.  The most stunning part of the project isn’t the concept, it’s the detailed, superb build video posted below.  Watch, learn, and enjoy.

The specs on the finished machine:

  • 2.93Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S processor
  • NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT graphics card
  • 8GB of RAM
  • 16GB solid state drive
  • Four traditional hard drives – (Windows 7, Snow Leopard, and two 500GB 7,200 RPM drives for video editing)

Again, the video speaks for itself: A superb project with a fantastic result.  Check out more Mac hacks, iPhone hacks, and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, this took 35-40 hours and 2 months to complete.

Good question, I don’t think it stated the total cost on the project page.
