  • Thank you fpr this great Idea !!! I've tried to do it and my result isn't as good as yours but that's not important for me...

    Yours looks great !

  • you remind me of the ADAMS FAMILY guy!hahahhaa!!!!!....

  • Did you upgrade OS X to Lion?

  • simply amazing

  • My comment was not directed to the video maker..

    Lol (awaiting mad responses)

  • @Gibson299 I'm mad what you gunna do about it Gibby? lol

  • Everything's so much easier im not getting any viruses, yet i'm a gay little Apple Fanboy who is running apple on a custom built Computer, awww...to fucking bad Apple Doesn't support that fag.

  • cheap wtf u talkin about 1500 damn not cheap rich ass

  • Comment removed

  • Man i was going to put a costom pentium 4 machine in a xbox but you put a full blown quad core pc in one! lol Cool build, hopefully when my broken xbox makes it here i'll be able to use it without much overheating, expecially with older ide drives and a power hungry 3ghz 478 p4, w/ 4gb of ddr and a Ati 3650 512mb agp...

  • if you were so hard on space why did you use 5 drives?

  • @awesomecraftication Probebly for booting using seperate drives, that and being 2.5" he had more room width wise rather than having 2 or 3, 3.5" drives?

  • Thank you for sharing. It helped a lot.

  • good work man

  • OS Sex XD

  • You should replace Ubuntu with Zorin/Ubuntu. It's an easy transition from windows to linux & is super easy to get used to. Completely removes about 95% of the complexity from linux that drives so many people away.

  • You do realize that the EFIX card is something u have to pay for but is actually a flash drive with chameleon efx on it. you got ripped off

  • @petethetechguy He didn't pay for it. A store that is sponsoring him gave him that EFIX card for free.

  • !Everything's so much easier, i'm not getting any viruses"

  • So that was pretty darn impressive. Always enjoy seeing cross-platform people who can demonstrate technology objectively. My only tip is that the X is pronounced "ten", not the letter x. Other than that, quite a nice demo of a bitchen box.

  • I WANT ONE!!!

    How much ;)

  • The sad thing is you worked so hard on this small powerful computer and no one apreciates it, well I do. Keep up the good work!

  • 7:38 LOL

  • Comment removed

  • I am going to go put my toaster inside of a NES. it would be cooler than this shit

  • What is the sense in having a Xbox that doesn't play Xbox games, wouldn't it be more efficient in a normal computer case?? This is just pointless.

  • Is this computer good for gaming?

  • Will I have an extremely unique idea for you. You no those really old CRT monitor. You know, the ones with the massive back end? What if you build a computer in one of those. Replacing the screen with a led monitor of some sort.

    Thumbs up so Will can see this!!!!!

  • I'm sorry, mate. The machine is very interesting - don't get me wrong.

    But what is its point?

    Firstly, it's illegal to install Mac OS on non-Mac devices.

    Secondly, the case is about as big as a mini-ATX case (you could have built the same system on a normal ATX case).

    Thirdly, the case is quite small. Overheating will be a problem if you push your graphics and processor too much.

    And finally, a normal mini-ATX case with similar hardware would cost you a third of what you spent.

  • @vitormangraviti Of course he could put it in a pre-built case. But what would be the fun in that? He's making one thing fit into something it shouldn't, and making it work. You obviously didn't hear him when he said he hasn't had any overheating issues.

  • 8 dislikes (also known as a im so fucking jelouse ) really ??? losers.

  • Lol yes we are so jealous of a Xbox that doesn't play Xbox games lol, are you his boyfriend?

  • Just where did he threw original xbox DEV parts??? Its pretty expensive itself even without any case...

  • Yes this thing is amazingly talented work of art..but since this was an os xbox with a controller connections for the xbox, and other os's, there is only one big question i needed an answer, because you forgot to mention and to show us if this os xbox can actually run xbox games in which i think that was the whole idea of having this multiple os especially on xbox,.....please tell us if we can possible to run xbox 360 games as well........

  • Fuck I want it!

  • Does OS X update fine?

  • "So now we're in Windows as well, so now it's a properly useful computer..."

    LOL

  • real nice dude ... what about posting a parts list

  • @ieatpeas24 its on his site

  • Well done, all you need now is an xbox emulator

  • Badass, and noob question. Is Linux free? And how much space does it take up.

  • You have to mass product your stuff and sell it you are a certified genius.

  • Hey Will, does that thing heat up like a motherfucker?

  • how much hard drive space dose OS x take up? windows 7 is 16GB right?

  • holy smokes... I have the same keyboard!

  • Just wondering is it legal to run Apple os on a non apple computer.

  • @ErsiNur1 no

  • @ErsiNur1 thats not an apple logo noob

  • @ErsiNur1 Of course it's legal. As long as you buy the Apple OS you can run it on whatever you want. Same as windows. As long as you have a legal copy of whatever OS, it doesn't matter what kind of system you run it on.

  • AMAZING job great!

  • Nice job overall.

    But this black piano color is the worst! xD

  • how hot does that thing get

  • wait.. no disk drive?

  • The same systeme but with a gtx450

  • nice i want to mod a case like that

  • Wow excellent idea, very nice fit in the case. Components are smartly chosen. The only thing what i didn't like was the "Apple" logo on the top :-D

  • Someday, when I have the money, I will ask a genius like you to build me a computer just like this one.

  • Apple computers suck, and Seagate...more like Failgate, because they fail more than 50% , terrible HDD's

  • nice brother great job ? 4 ya my current rig on w/7 interestested in oosx can i install it on an external drive and boot osx

  • how long did it take you to make it?

  • more powerful than the xbox 360 this is

  • amazing work and a great video... i think An "Inside" Bluetooth adapter plus the Mac Bluetooth Keyboard and Mac Mouse is all you need to add..

    and really Amazing compactness of the inner design!! may be some rubber guiding tubes for directed air flow could help with any heating problem.

  • dude - i really have no idea what exactly all the stuff is,,,, but its awesome! Saw your worklog video first - VERY impressed with all the craftmanship! AWESOME WORK man

  • Did you learn about the EFIX scam?

  • @oyasuna

    Not awesome, actually. In fact, it's kinda annoying when you spam us with that shit.

  • A fellow VW enthusiast whos also a geek! Great project, I have a Xbox in my Corrado that uses XBMC, I have been wanting to put another car PC in there for other reasons, what a creative solution! Thanks for sharing

  • Make a LEGO PC.

  • I really hope that Xbox Development Kit was not in working order, otherwise you could have given it to a homebrew developer who could use it.

  • @tehprogramerer

    Pft. Everyone moved on to the 360 xD

  • THE CONSOLE OF THE FUTURE ! [ HOPEFULLY ]

  • thats amazing if i just you money to build one will you build me one ?

  • ficou fera!!!

  • for more info. admin can help you out

  • uh how cool does that thing stay it looks like it gets hot as hell

  • can u play online?

  • i want one!

  • efix sorry

  • Winbuntac

    (windows, ubuntu, mac)

  • your gonna destroy the power supply. the geforce 9800gt by itself needs a minimum of 450 watts to run. and running everything else. either your power supply is going to go out or its going to damage some hardware from power failure eventually the voltage may fall or the power supply crowbar protection cut in. This will result in sudden loss of power to some or all of the PC.

  • Don't you know the Xbox Dev kit is worth an assload of money!?!??!

  • is these specs good enough for booting mac?

    i7 950 3,06ghz quad core

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5

    6gb DDR3 RAM

    plizz respond!

  • @TheMrNetMoon yes ofcourse man mac are not that ''heavy'' OS

  • @Ionaras13 I think he's joking 

  • @TheMrNetMoon Its not wether its Good enough, its wether or not your hardware is compatible with the OS...

  • Woo! Fancy hackintosh!(:

  • Could you please tell me if you still use the efi-x card after you found out that it's scam? and if not if you got everything working ok withouth it

    thx

  • "everything's so much easier, I'm not getting any viruses" - Apple FTW :D

  • Man you are my hero =]

  • Its not OS X its OS ten Great Video's you are very talented thanks

  • @mjlcarguy54 it can be called either, X is the roman numeral for 10

  • Can you make a Gamecube?

  • OUCH look at all those cracks from the jb weld joints. still way cool

  • everything u create or made is just truly amazing...but u need more sleep dude.

  • OS Xbox Pro - doesnt makes sense for me, you could name it in other way. There is just the case of Xbox.

  • only thing that sucks no cd/dvd drive :( i guess u would just have to use a usb cd/dvd drive to install stuff drom disk still this was my fav build that you have made

  • what version of osx are you using?

  • @ozzytonygeezerbill looking at the desktop background I think he's running 10.5

  • nice hair and nice computer lol

  • Do they not sell the efix dongle any more? i cant find one anywhere :| I want to build a hackingtosh machine.

  • @adamh3212 if you want to build a hackingtosh with a genuine apple dvd you can use something called iBoot, only thing is that it'll only allow use of 1 hard drive and the disk needs to be inserted at startup but you can fix that by installing multibeast once os x is already installed, as for the hard drive thing, I'm not sure whether multibeast fixes that or not

  • Great job , man. I just emailed you from your website. I didn't mention in my emailI am also an XBox 360 maniac. I really like this build after I get through building my PC desk I will try this also. I have a couple of Xbox's siting around that I have fixed so I can sacrifice one for a project like this one. I really like your stuff, man.

  • does it have a dvd drive

  • Secondary!? Secondary my ass, If I had that not only would I use it all the time I would brag about it every god damn day!

  • Hey, Unknown Lobster, does your Efix still work? These things are unreliable and now - discontinued, you should support open source and use Boot-132 based stuff.

  • wait wait wait... so if i had an e.f.i.x dongle thingy plugged into my pc laptop/desktop i could install mac osx?!?!?! i know there is other ways but i cant figure out how... :)

  • @mrljthedj There's a list of compatable part's, its unlikely your system is fully supported.

  • @mrljthedj if you have an intel processor, you can make a hackintosh and run either leopard or snow leopard.

  • @mrljthedj dont buy efix, its a scam, they took the chameleon boot loader (free) and started charging people for it

  • @mrljthedj problem is that it plugs into the motherboard so it won't work in a laptop (unless they do a version that's external) and it is very picky about the motherboard so you would have to check your desktop's motherboard type

  • @EmoticonMayhem hmm, i could make an adaptor so it fits usb. ive sortof rebuilt half of my laptop anyway. the screen enclosoure broke so i rebuilt it with perspex and added a bit more on the back (an extra hard drive, bluetooth dongle, second wifi adaptor, sound better sound card. all connected to the guts of a usb hub patched straight into the motherboard so adding the efix thing wouldent be a problem. but i doubt my motherboard will be supported :'(

  • YOU NEVER NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THIS ! ! !

    We messaged and you said you'd send it to meee!!!

    I can't believe I JUST thought about this again so late.

    INCREDIBLE.

  • apples are gay xbox is microsoft FUCKER

  • Your Ubuntu OS is outdated, have you upgraded yet?

  • umm where is the disk drive??

  • sell it for 3000 dollars

  • You know that those EFiX Dongles are a scam, right? All they are is a freeware boot loader slapped onto a custom flashdrive. Google it.

  • i want to make 1 but windows 7

  • That is a pretty nice setup there. Very nice work and a lot of time and effort appears to have gone into your system.

  • What have you did there is very nice! I'm saving money to buy a laptop(maybe a netbook) and I had an ideea to make a costum case for it.I'm wondering if i can do that with plexiglass and aluminium.I what a clarecase or almost to be made with plexiglass.Can you give me some tips ? It will be realisable?

  • CD Drive?

  • looks shit.

    that's not a commentary on your skills. The original xbox looked shit to begin with, you made it slightly better, but it's still ugly as fuck.

  • were do you get the usb firewire and sata headers

  • wait the efix is like $200 is their somthing else you can use or is that the only thing

  • lol who gives a fuck about the pronunciation, it's just a dumbed down version of Unix. :P

  • why no CD drive though? LOL forgot that didnt you? (actually you can still use an external drive but if i wouldve done it i wouldve made it integrated)

  • c'est nul

  • What does this thing do exactly?

  • looks like the sega saturn

  • You have really good fabrication skills but it's not os "ecks" it's OS TEN. See: emeek. Did you use a DSLR to shoot this? The video editing was really good in the worklog.

  • Disregard my question about the DSLR. I noticed it was a Sony HVR-V1U or something similar.

  • @mikeymike4g63 I dont hang around too many people that use macs but I've noticed a lot of other people (perhaps just around here) saying "ecks," so I guess it just stuck. And yes, the dslr was only used in parts of the worklog.

  • @mikeymike4g63 It sounds like os sex

  • @spiderlouis It's OS Ten. Like version 10. Everyone in the Apple user world knows this. I myself hate Apple and even I know this.

  • @mikeymike4g63 Yeah I know it is os ten I am just saying if you say is os ecks it sounds like os sex. I hate apple too.

  • @mikeymike4g63

    X = 10 in roman numerals

    "ecks" = X

    So therefore, OS ecks would be accurate and is commonly used

  • @bilum @bilum Roman numerals were Latin characters so guess what, unless you were saying something like OS decem you're wrong. It's OS TEN. People who say OS 'ECKS' or OS EQUIS or any other way to say X such as CHI if you were Greek... are retards. X is a letter and it's pronunced 'ecks'. X at the end of "OS X" is TEN. You said it yourself.

  • @mikeymike4g63

    So if you are looking at a church clock face or the clock face of grandfather clock, and the big hand was at 12 and the little hand was at 10 you would say "oh look, its decim o'clock" or would you say "oh look, its TEN o'clock"??

    It is fully accepted across the entire planet that the roman numeral X can be used to indicate 10. I won't be reading your response, because, well, you're wrong and I won't be wasting any more time on this.

    nice guitar skills though!

  • @bilum Heavens you got me! Man! Nice skills yourself on anything... oh wait. You have nothing uploaded. It's OS Ten. Just because you weren't handed the memo that everyone else in the tech world already knew instinctively because it is OS VERSION 10.xxxxxx that OS X must indeed mean TEN.... well I can't help you buddy. Nice favorites or something... yeah.

  • @mikeymike4g63

    ermm, you said that ecks (X) wasn't a viable way of saying ten. bilum has shown that it is yet you are still arguing it. Saying OS TEN and OS X is saying the same thing.

    We have 40-45 staff that use Macs for our design work and we all refer to it as OS X, I can't see why you have such a bee in your bonnet about it. OS X = OS TEN, it's just quicker and easier to say.

  • @roflyourdumb Last time I checked I put quotes around "ecks" and also last time I checked "ecks" and "ten" have the same syllable count so neither is more difficult to say than the other.... physically. Mentally.... maybe for plebeians such as yourself and your co-workers it probably must be quite difficult to recognize that X is TEN in the case of Apple OS version 10. I never said Mac users were smart either so you could have legions of people using them... Doesn't mean anything to me.

  • So you have a go for someone saying OS X because it's actually OS TEN, but then go on to admit that OS TEN is the same is OS X! However, to make yourself sound even more stupid, you then accuse everyone who has been saying that X=TEN doesn't recognise it's the same thing!

    You really are an inbred dumbass.

    Oh, and my brother, who works for Apple says OS X. I think he knows more than you. If you reply to this post you admit you are wrong and have a small penis! :D

  • @roflyourdumb I never said OS X (pronounced ecks) is ten. Just like X-Files is not "Ten-Files" you fucking moron. I said roman numeral X is TEN. You are quite daft aren't you? Your brother probably sweeps the floors and cleans the bathrooms at an Apple store. I could NOT care less who you know that works there. You could work there and you'd still be wrong and a moron. Don't be an imbecile.

  • @roflyourdumb After reading this whole thing, I can see you're fucking retarded. It's pronounced OS Ten. For things like Rocky IV and V, do you say "Oh yeah I watched Rocky eye vee and Rocky Vee on the weekend!"? No, of course you don't, because it's wrong. For a movie that was made in 1997, the copyright notice at the end says "MCMXCVII." Do you say "That movie was made in em see em ecks see vee eye eye"? Nope, once again that is RETARDED

  • Comment removed

  • @roflyourdumb nice youtube join date there by the way....

  • @mikeymike4g63 X = 10....same thing...

  • @mikeymike4g63 I have a MacBook Pro, and I've been working with Macs for about 4 years. I've always referred to it as 'OS ecks'. But thats mainly because thats how I say it in my head as I type.

  • @enisylo Why did you feel the need to mention all of your apple products in your post? No one cares. That's why apple users are so obnoxious. It's TEN btw. Clearly any non-imbecile can see that it is. If it seems like i'm looking down my nose at you blatantly, it's because you did it subtlely.

  • @enisylo Exactly, you and the other switchers. True Mac users say Ten.

  • @mikeymike4g63 it is OS "ecks" ecks as in the letter x which is the roman numeral for ten

  • @EmoticonMayhem It is OS "TEN" not "Ecks"...it wasn't until the PC Exodus to Mac that I heard "OS Ecks" the first time. The X is pronounced "Ten"

  • @dontwalkhand Nope, it's pronounced either way

  • @EmoticonMayhem Then do this:

    Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal > Type in "say" without the quotes, then type in "Mac OS X" and press return.

    Also, just watch any old Steve Jobs keynote. I've been using Macs since the ][ GS, so don't tell me that if you just switched to Mac after the Intel transition.

  • @dontwalkhand I actually just moved away from Macs after 2 years, I switched after the whole Vista incident but 7 is much better, but back to the point, it can be pronounced either way, ecks or ten, Steve jobs may say 10 but many people say ecks, and it doesn't really matter how you say it as long as people know what you're talking about.

  • @EmoticonMayhem You sir, are trolling fantastically. Unless you are serious, then you're just an idiot.

  • @EmoticonMayhem It's most definitely pronounced "OS ten."

  • Comment removed

  • @EmoticonMayhem Nevermind. I see you've been corrected many times already but are unable to admit you are wrong.

  • @EmoticonMayhem Actually it's OS "ten", not "ecks".  No one at Apple has ever called it OS"ecks".

  • first off, you are my hero.

    Secondly, you sound very jaded with mac os x.

    Finally, that completely made my day.

  • wait a second what about the optical drive

  • I dont really ever use an optical drive anymore except when I'm first setting up a computer (well, also to play blu-rays now and that's not what this is for.) so it seemed pretty stupid to make compromises to fit an optical drive in when it was already packed the way it was. So I just use my usb optical drive for the install.

  • @urgettinghacked he has like 4 hard drives in it, he doesn't need one. also he has firewire and usb, so he could always use an external drive if necessary. 

  • @urgettinghacked he can just get an external one if needed

  • hey dude i am buying this motherboard..that u have..P45T-UD3LR

    is it a good motherboard ??

    is it better than msi p35 neo ??

    and p5q se2 ??

    i really want to know if it is a good overclocker ?

    is there any issues with it ?? or is it a stable mobo ??

  • The only issue I had was my mobo was very picky about ram. You have to set all the timings and stuff in manually or you wont be able to get through an os install. I dont know anything about those other mobos, you'll have to do your own research.

  • but does it play warcraft? lol

  • What is Final Cut Pro? Might be a dumb question, lol. I was just curious.

  • the one good program on a mac that pc's cant use

  • That didn't tell me anything...

  • It's a very popular video editing program. So far I find it pretty lame, and am not too sure what all the fuss is about.

  • @UnknownLobster - Thank you for the reply.
