Ripping apart an xbox 360.

[Madmitten]

One of the stupidest things I've read all morning. Actually, it's the stupidest since I just woke up.

No, you can't. Even if you could separate the main computing components from the motherboard, they use their own proprietary sockets. The only thing you may be able to talk is the hard drive, but I'm not sure if it even has a SATA / IDE port. The thing it connects to the console with is some weird proprietary stuff.

it's in the fatherboard i checked

last time I checked it was in the sisterboard.

You are stupid.

Why waste money to buy a system to take it apart for ONE THING when you can just buy a new card?

[Rookie]

Don't rip it up, give it to me so I can sell it and help starving children in Africa.

[Nethog]

Don't rip it up, give it to me so I can play on it 5 hours everyday.

lol even IF the 360 card was good. what made you think it was using a 300 dollar video card? that would mean the whole system would cost more then 300 bucks. there are other components inside the xbox you know. they arent made free.

Children in Africa wouldn't care.

Why would you even want the card? I would barely be able to play l4d from what I understand.

It plays L4D fine.

"Hurpdurp I'm gonna buy this 300 dollar thing, so I can rip it apart thus making it unusable so I can take this 100 dollar thing out of it! Hurpdurp"

Yesterday I bought a huge TV so I could use my imagination inside the box.

And Yesterday I bough a house just so I can steal those free candles

Bish, I already made a joke from that episode of Spongebob this month. Get your own Spongebob episode reference!

Edit: Damn, it was September 29th. You get those one, kind sir!

Good, now all you need is a box.

There are actually quite a few things you can do if you take apart an xbox to make it communicate with a PC, though most of them is just for flashing NANDs and such.

The DVD drive can be used with a PC (Uses SATA cables, just need to reflash it) and you can buy a cord that connects the hard drive to a usb port (I own one as well, though you can take the plastic shell off the xbox harddrive and connect it another way).

Get a gtx 460 and a 650w PSU.

ha.

All new game systems have a PPC in them.

...but does this mean all of them are cheap MACS?
