Seems kind of stupid to go to all that trouble to use an Xbox case only to modify the case so extensively it no longer looks like an Xbox case.

It's a lot of machine in that tiny case, though. Twin Core 2 Quads, and 8GB of RAM plus Mac OS X AND Windows 7 and 1TB of hard drive space for video editing. Not bad for $1500, especially considering a comparable Mac would cost over $4k.

Same here...Why put a Mac in a Xbox case only to not have any Xbox. I get the fact that he is giving a big FU to Microsoft buy putting a Apple OS in there but why....

He gets my respect for the build though, Nice and clean install!!!

That's about as badass a waste of time as any. Two thumbs up for the build.
