 This might appear to be a normal original Xbox But What's inside it is far from normal now lots of people have done PCs in an Xbox chassis before and For being honest the finish on some of those is better than what we've done here But every other project we've found either compromised on the form factor like adding more space to the bottom or Compromised on the performance with most of them rocking a mid-tier gaming graphics card at best Well compromise is not the Linus Tech Tips way We will settle for nothing less than the first Xbox with support for real-time ray tracing Nothing less than the fastest Xbox ever Getting all that performance in here wasn't easy though So let's take a look at what it took to make our latest sleeper PC Patrice brought to you by our sponsor Madrinas Madrinas coffee blend specialty cold brew coffees into 15 ounce grab-and-go cans for everyone's convenience Check them out and use offer code Linus to save 40% We'll have that linked below So The very first thing we need to do is just make sure that everything that we have here fits so we have this GeForce RTX 2070 from Zotac and it should fit in like I did some CAD and Everything fits in theory, but we have I think three millimeters of space on the side. So Wow, that's a really long screw For those of you freaking out we got this Xbox in non working condition for $10 So don't stress out about us destroying vintage gaming hardware Disassembly was about what you'd expect inside the Xbox one Not to be confused with the Xbox one is Basically a normal computer with the majority of the internal space being used for a disk reader and a mechanical hard drive Well, we won't be needing either of those anymore Let's do a test fit for this sleeper We'll be using one of Zotac's epic mini graphics cards in this case an RTX 2070 and a core i5 8400 6 core CPU now compared to some of our other sleepers Patrice's performance isn't as Over-the-top, but we're working with a passively cooled HD plex power supply And we wanted to save as much of our power budget as possible for the graphics card Besides we figured chances are anything more powerful would have thermal throttled anyway It seems like everything will fit we just need to make sure it all works together And more importantly that our power supply is actually able to handle it all so don't mind the mess at this stage This is just for testing purposes power there short at the pins and oh Hello, yeah, it's past test number one, but we do need to get a monitor and keyboard and make sure that it's Actually I was like run Windows and crap so we got into Windows no problem Everything's working that's kind of expected, but the real test here is when I hit start It might shut down, and if it does we're gonna have to rethink the whole thing so So far so good, how are you gonna get all of that stuff in there? That's the thing I want to discuss with you so Poorly is basically the answer. Oh, that's not an answer Well it kind of so we can do two things We can either have it be really powerful. Yeah, or look good on the inside and I don't think there's a way to have both of those things Okay, sleepers, let's bring it back to cars Right so sleepers have to look bone stock from the outside that we agree on and Sleepers have to be Just head-turningly fast off the line. Yeah, is there any rule that says they have to be gorgeous inside? No. Then I guess we know what to do. You're gonna need ventilation holes on the bottom of the case Yeah, okay, like you're gonna need to cut away the bottom of the case. Pretty much. Yeah We might have to shave off a bit of this plastic shroud as well In fact, I think we just remove it. Yeah, yeah, I mean what's it even do other than look cool Yeah, yeah, I think we need to go in that way then we have the perforation in the bottom this thing shouldn't even overheat perfect perfect Her act Cuz we're gonna perf or eight and that's my Goodbye our methods for CNC sheet aluminum have improved significantly since our previous attempt in Margaret We now have a single flute end mill and double-sided tape that doesn't gum up the bit giving us excellent results this means that we should end up with perfect mounting points for our hardware and Much better rigidity compared to the paper thin metal that's currently in here off-camera. I did a prototype bend with with our Little vise brake here and it's we could just kind of go. Yeah. Yeah good enough But it's not good enough. No, so we have a solution Okay, I took the credit card and We we got a we got a really big thing that's going over here. Do you want do you want to come? Oh That kind of solution is this safe? How are you supposed to move these things? Oh That's why you guys are all here Okay, ah Okay, how much was this like 800 bucks oh That's actually not as bad. I was expecting just based on the weight Yeah, I know it was actually very on sale. We got a good deal. I wanted to buy the $3,000 one All right, well then in that case good work Alex All right fun fun fun. Actually, this is not that bad with six people wait So this countertop is gonna be basically unusable for like weeks months who signed off on this You said you don't care That's the actual Quote of what you said about it All right, okay, hold on so you guys go ahead and come out why do you get the coolest toys around here? Brandon also gets really cool toys That's true. But I think this one's cooler And how do you pick the angle you want? Your eyeball will malade it kind of eyeball it Okay, and then you unlock it down And then a boom There you go You done bent some metal there boy. So for bending sheet metal Kind of the best way to do it is to use this What's it called blue layout die and that lets you? Come in you just cover it. It dries really fast and you can scribe Directly on it and get this super high contrast and also very precise line we have a plan here that just tells us all of our dimensions where the bends need to be and Also, I've numbered each bend because like if you bend let's say number six before number one You won't be able to complete it because the bend will hit The rest of that as it goes around Since the part wasn't designed with this break in mind a couple of the bends were pretty sketchy But V2 got all of the critical dimensions correct and was miles ahead of the previous prototype So we consider it a success The next step was a test fit and oh no Don't worry, mr. Linus So it was at this point that we confirmed that the stock fans and shroud from our graphics card would need to be removed While he was at it Alex replaced the original thermal paste with some cryonaut since we're gonna need all the help we can get When it comes to cooling with our replacement liner prepared the old liner was forcibly removed and all of the old mounting Needs to come out now with lots of dremeling and oh wow That fits like a glove now. We have to make some holes for the Motherboard and GPU there. Yeah, this is this is really the point of no return right here Like the stuff on the inside you can't tell but if I screw this one up jeez We're just we're just done First the bulk was removed with a cutting disc then Alex brought it close with a grinding bit finishing off with a file for a nice smooth cut so uh What's about to happen is not for the squeamish So the DVI connector here It goes in like this and unfortunately it kind of interferes with where the power connector is going to be 10 out of 10 would not recommend doing this to your GPU The now DVI connector list card got blown out with compressed air to ensure that no metal shards would short it out Then it was taped up and reassembled But that actually wasn't the end of the carnage for this poor thing The IO shield needed to be first flattened out and then cut down to size to fit into the extremely small space We have for it next all of the holes that we needed in the bottom of the case were drilled out and a fan Intake was cut into the bottom a hole was added for the power connector Not because this is the best time for that step But rather because we forgot to do it before and then the sheet metal interior was ready to be riveted together We're actually getting pretty close to final product here So the blue layout die that was covering it was removed with acetone and then our liner was given a coat of black paint While that dried the hole for the GPU IO was created with the Dremel and we were ready for a real test fit Since the original GPUs fans ended up being too big smaller ones were added using Zip ties fitting everything in a case like this is difficult even with purpose-built parts as for our machine Well, everything does have its place But getting it in is another story Like the GPU is so close to the motherboard that even the IO cover needed to be removed for it to all fit but Lo and behold everything did fit Now it's just time to make sure that it all still works. Oh nice like it's showing up over there. Oh wow It just worked. I Honestly wasn't expecting it to just work. I figured I have to do at least one little jiggering damn That's that's not the power button look I didn't have an Xbox okay That Can be controlled right yeah like that can be dialed back Yeah, if you want it to be full-blown sleeper you can just be like kabam Okay, is it supposed to be green? Yeah, okay. I'm enjoying this It's not especially quiet I Wouldn't describe it as crazy loud either though and the exhaust System that you've built such as it were does seem to be working like there's definitely warm air coming out So let's see what kind of performance we can expect out of this thing 130 to 160 FPS not bad Get that glory kill So we're seeing 84 degrees 96 percent GPU usage though, so we're definitely hitting it hard and then our core clock is here here is in like the 1413 high 14 lows Okay So it's like right up base block for the car should we hook it up in its new home sure so right down here guys We've got the Xbox one X versus You could call this like an X box. You know it's got that X factor. It's Patrice Patrice sure apparently the 1x runs at 60 FPS. What compromises are they making here? I mean the Xbox 1x is what like an RX 480 or something like that well, okay, so fine the Xbox 1x runs at a higher frame rate And is probably less buggy than the PC version Oh Okay, that was not smooth Shut up you're in a field. There's like four trees Oh God So this is a little overpowered for most like local multiplayer PC gaming experiences Isn't it are you saying we should have put less power in it? I'm saying the power we put in it might have been unnecessary Oops No, I meant to I meant to put it down in my hand that I missed this is this is just hard to this is hard To watch oh No way How do you slide? X I believe yep that works okay cool. I can't believe they saved that they're better than us so far But they're not very good. I can't find the ball I Legitimately have no idea for the ball Did they quit? We're that bad and we still won This is gonna be awesome once we have this like all yeah set up and everything I mean this aspect of it is basically good to go like we can plug wired controllers in from the front We've got wireless Xbox controller So any you can use any kind of controller you want because if someone wants a ps4 controller or whatever they can just plug in A wire like this is freaking awesome, and it's so stealth. It's our most useful sleeper ever So we've got one terabyte of storage now because we're using a one terabyte m.2 boot drive But I suspect we're gonna want to add a larger game library I mean the worst case scenario is we grab an external four terabyte hard drive and plug it into USB 3 set resolution just Just you can't set any other resolution You know what I bet if we just exit the game again and try again like rocket League. It'll just It'll just get it back together. This is like really not a great sales pitch for PC gaming It's really great after you go into like a The file a config file and manually I'm just seeing if it has that No, I don't see an obvious way to I doubt it oh alright oh Heck yeah, here we go Okay, I can't do this on a console yeah, you wouldn't want to because it's a really really bad experience, but 3840 by 2160 full screen I bet I have to change that to true Okay, let's just see if there's anything else we should probably change in here that all looks fine PC gaming Find the parameters change the parameters and then oh it's time to go to bed You missed out on your gaming time tonight that looks better. Yeah, damn it Why is this necessary? Oh that looks so much better. That was worth it. Yes Okay, uh campaign. Yeah sure I Don't understand what weapon I have. Oh, I have a flamethrower. Oh cool Nice He's actually op He is yeah. Oh does it make a difference like do all the guys have different web? Yeah, they do Did you kill me? Did I die you killed yourself? Why did MacGyver throws dynamite? Okay Why didn't know? I'm gonna go to the next one. I'm gonna go to the next one. I'm gonna go to the next one There you have it we built the world's most powerful gaming Xbox Take that Microsoft there were some anomalies with Forza, but we're gonna blame The sponsor fresh books is the small business accounting software that's custom-built for how you want to work It's a simple way to be more productive more organized and to get paid faster if you're a freelancer or if you're self-employed You can create and send professional looking invoices in less than 30 seconds You can set up online payments with just a couple of clicks to get paid up to four days faster You can see when your client has seen your invoice to put an end to the guessing games and this is really cool You can take the whole experience with you on the go with their fully featured apps for both Android and iOS So don't take my word for it.
