  • @st3roidz1 Thanks dude, i cant wait to see the video! feel free to message me, it goes to my blackberry so i reply quick. Im working on a xbox mod my self ill let you know how that goes.. Best of luck to you!

  • @vinnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy Thank You! the reason im asking you these questions is because im currently working on a Xbox 360 that i am going to put into a Desktop Case and i wanted to power it using the power supply. If it all goes well i will be posting a video and ill give you some credit as well. Thank You for the help man!

  • @st3roidz1 you can, it will prolly have problems where it will just shut down from over heating.. i tried it and it will play for like hour and half and shut off from over heating.. but you can... but a quick tip, if your ATX PSU has a green wire connect the green wire from the xbox power cord to the green wire coming from the ATX PSU, but if not you will have to connect it to the ground..

  • @vinnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy Also, is it ok if i just strip the wires comming out psu and strip the wires on the xbox cable and join them? opposed to desoldering and reconecting?

  • @st3roidz1 yeah that will work

  • @vinnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy yes acutally srry i just checked....it also says 100v-120v @ 9amps is this good?

  • are you talking about volts or watts

  • I have a 305v power supply is this project still compatible?

    Thanks!
