So at the end of the day, anyone can do this?
Make a case, strip it down a bit and voila?

Anyone that's confident enough with soldering.
The tallest capacitors were taken off and attached with wires so they could lay flat. The PSU was removed and replaced by an external AC -> DC converter and the loose PCB inside the box, which was heavily modified.
The IDE cable was also cut and put back together to form a right angle. The rest were wire modifications (Front panel, etc.)

Yeah I assumed the power would be external now, they left this a bit late though, it'd be useful for just emulation and the odd game.
Wonder how much it will sell for on e-bay..
Why don't you?

The creator said it got up to ~150F in game at the stock fan speed. He raised the speed and said it cooled off a little bit.
You fight like a girl.
To keep things on topic, I heard this thing took any six months to make, or maybe that's a long time, I wouldn't know.
Yeah but that just makes it noisier, then again i'd rather a system work and be noisy (360) than be quiet and die.
Sliderkk you don't know if 6 months is a long time? Well it's half a year to get from old xbox to this. Ofcourse it's a long time. Stop bringing up topics you don't even know what you are talking about to have the last word in our so called argument.
Enough bickering please. I don't want to have to ask again and take action.
Excuse me for not knowing whether 6 months is a short or long time to make a complex machine a fifth of the size, after all, I am a proficient hardware engineer.
EDIT: Sorry Abe Froeman, I will stop here since you posted when I was busy typing this post, and any [girly] attempt AndyMosh makes to have the last word shall be void since I will no longer defend myself on that matter.

Ontopic: Nice and sleek looking mod, even if it's unstable... Now let someone strip down the PS3, I'd like to see that

Unstable? And I'm sure someone will, as soon as we're able to play movies and games off of the hard drive.
Well hopefully Sony has something to show us on the 18th...
