So, I bet you all have heard about people wanted to put a router in their xbox and whatnot. But XBNet takes it beyond that.



Specifications:
1 WAN port
4 LAN ports
Aud/Vid outlet moved near power
Custom front and top graphic
Additional power button for quick router reset
As well as custom programs to view the router options


Tell me what you think.
(Note: These pics were made by me, are not actuall pictures of real version)

kool, but id say its kind of a waste of space on the back panel, i guess id think about doing it if i played 24 hours a day with my friends that all have xboxes, but otherwise i would rather do something kooler like adding a rf, vga, composite, and high def cables outputs in the back ......

Update:



USB: Two USB 2.0 ports in the front
LCD: LCD screen near the networking ports. C shows whether or not a connection is made on both machines, and the A is for activity betweek the units.
Video: D-Connector (1080i/720p/480p/480i), Composite Out, S-Video Out (S1/S2)
Audio: Analog Audio Out (L/R), Digital Surround Out (Coaxial), Optical Digital Out

Also eliminated the fan on the back. I figured we could put 4 inside the box itself. 2 on the left and 2 on the right for more ventilation.

heat is gonna be a big isure still, even with 4 fans, because they all have to be very quiet and still cool well, which means even more money. not exactly for everyone with a medium budget. i like it though

Looks stylish, if you could make it work i'd be interested in buying for sure. Not sure how you'll put the PSU in the middle like that though. Underneath the motherboard too by the look of it. It'd take a bit of re-arranging, or you'd have to cut the connections, and leave the actual PSU where it is, and run cable across the the plug. then do the same for the scart plug... But hey the pics look nice.

Yellow white and red things? You mean the RCA cables?

If so, this is what my friend did. Find RCA cable adapters, cut the RCA cable so it can fit inside the xbox. Make 3 holes in the back. Solder in the adapters. Connect your new cable to the adapters inside the xbox.

There is the problem of having the actuall cable plugged into the old xbox still showing, but if you know how to solder, you could probly fix that by relocating it.
