The Xbox 360 community never ceases to amaze, even years after the console stopped being manufactured. This time, two enthusiasts have taken the concept of “upgrading” the console to a whole new level: they’ve built a modern gaming PC inside the casing of an Xbox 360 Slim, respecting the original exterior design while packing high-end hardware that rivals today’s top gaming rigs.

The project, shared on Reddit, involved completely disassembling the console and redesigning its interior. A 3D printer was used to rebuild the front panel, custom metal frames were installed, and even the power button was reprogrammed to adapt to the new hardware. The result is a machine that, despite maintaining the compact size of the 360 Slim, can handle modern games with ease.

A high-end PC worthy of a legendary console

Inside, we find top-of-the-line components:

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Low Profile

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

• Storage: 4TB Samsung Pro 990 M.2 SSD

• Power supply: 250W ATX HDPLEX

• Cooling system: low-profile internal fans and custom-designed air tunnels

Engineering and cooling inside a legendary chassis

The main challenge was fitting all the hardware into the limited space of the original casing. To achieve this, the creators utilized the Xbox 360 Slim’s ventilation grills, improving airflow with custom ducts that keep temperatures under control even under heavy loads.

• The original DVD drive was replaced by the power supply, optimizing space and eliminating an obsolete component. The result is not only functional but also maintains a design faithful to the original Xbox 360.

This type of modification shows how passion for a mythical console can go far beyond nostalgia. In this case, we have an Xbox 360 on the outside… and a cutting-edge PC on the inside, capable of running modern titles with ease.
