Some hacking projects advance our understanding of how things work, or how to make them work better. Others are just… well… because they could. I’d put this particular hack, turning an original Xbox into a hackintosh, into that second category.
Instructables has the guide you need to transform an old Xbox into a Hackintosh. It’s just occurred to me that I think I’ve got an original Xbox gathering dust somehwere. Hmmm… [Instructables]

This article really needs the title “Put a hackintosh in an xbox case”

I have a broken eMac in the shed, it’d be cool to revive that with an Intel board.

Blokes built one in a hurry, chucking all the bits they needed into a cardboard box
