looks like a mini atx motherboard ...would be interested in turning the case into a media pc, looking at the layout it shouldn't be too hard

@Blainurs The new xbox 360 slim its GPU is inside the CPU together. Hence only one fan. Large running slow, Low noise. All other components hardly make no heat at all. Its all under one roof so to speak

@Blainurs it has a heatsink dudee wth dide u see the metal thing under the vent?

Who let the kid play around in the background? Every time he tries to assemble something he's holding the part in his hand, twisting and turning it, holding it to the approximate location and then takes it away again.

Assembling a pre-furbished PC/console is not rocket science. Just remember the exact location of the parts and which screws go where. Wildly jamming parts on will not make it go faster...

Little bit confused atm... Why doesn't the GPU chip have a heatsink or something on it? On 3 of the first xbox 360 pro editions I've opened they all have a heatsink. I'm guessing the new ones just don't? Thumbs up if you know what i'm talking about! xD

So by looking at the motherbooard would you say it's getting closer to a pc? also could you run an operating system on it and use it as a pc? I know it's been done but it would amaze me if it ran windows 7 or such os :)
