I was playing around with this console again a few minutes ago, and I swear I saw a spark 😂😂 Edit: as you can see, I love buying weird custom consoles. Send me a message on my website if you have something interesting.
This video reminds me of my gutted broken xbone s in a shoe box. Maybe I can make an x shoe box😅. If only there was a wood duke controller for this fire wood drawer xbox 😹
personally i would go with a whole new custom case at this point but if not i would add more vents, at least one by the power supply to increase cooling.
The reason it has the eject button as the power button is because only the eject button lights up, and because it doesn’t have a disk drive it’s perfectly fine to use that instead
The size of the box isnt really an issue when considering cooling... the issue is that there is zero airflow over the PSU with this design/layout. That looks like your typical round IDE cable from the early to mid 00s with the sleeving removed. They also could have just put a jumper on the DVD power cable to remove the drive entirely. It would have saved space and improved the overall thermal profile. Also, when removing the DVD drive, it would be more space efficient to use a different IDE>SATA adapter.
There's no air coming out because the mesh vent isn't freely passing any fresh air . They shouldn't have used fine mesh , pet mesh would be best if you really have to use it . I would drill some holes in the front and or sides so that it doesn't overheat .
Honestly the worst (and funniest) part of this console is that they used cheap particle board instead of actual lumber. Had they just spent a few dollars more, it would have looked 1000x better.
Reminds me of the chopped Xbox I made except a lot more sketchy. I took out the top shielding, cropped the case, gutted the dvd drive and softmodded it. My hdd is set above the dvd board that has kapton tape all over it.
You could build this dirt cheap with motherboard standoffs, wood, and HVAC tape. Also needs more room for fans. Whoever built that didn't give af and didn't even join it nicely. For 600 there should be dovetails.
This is literally just an OG Xbox's contents (minus the optical drive, while keeping the optical drive's PCB) rearranged into a smaller container. And the sad part is that all those wires are absolutely unnecessary. They could have just simply used a short 80-conductor IDE cable and folded any excess neatly rather than building the terrible rat's nest version of one. And instead of the more reliable Startech IDE adapter, they chose a cheap generic one. This is worth even less than the OG Xbox in my honest opinion; definitely a DIWhy sort of project.
The metal case around game consoles is there to reduce RADIATION 😂😅 OH BOY!!! I dont think its dangerous as much as it can interfere with radio signals etc
At least it has an Xbox instead of a raspberry pie but still not worth 500 you can buy one with a bad disc drive for 20$ then spend 20-30 more at home depot on wood,glue, and stain.
hey you know what would be cool if someone put a PlayStation pc Xbox Wii Nintendo in one console with all the 5 buttons to start the console you want to play on it would be hard but possible
That's not a halo controller man. That's a regular Xbox s controller in the color the halo one was. The halo controller had the halo logo in the middle where Xbox is. I got the halo console when it came out from game crazy inside Hollywood video back in the day
NO CDROM??? Dude I could have made this for you for the price of the OGX and the wood. This is sad, I hope you make your money back on this video. I made my son a roblox PC that I used a PS3 fat case for, I thought I did a crappy job but this takes the GD cake. its a softmod for sure because the board looks to be default.
omg most people do better job woodworking in high school that one is straight up fail i would be more than beyond embarrassed of that massacre that needed 90 percent refund .send me the parts and i can make you something that is actually nice lol
Sometimes Jacob buy things of questionable value, that you can argue is worth it to the right person, but this thing is just straight up not worth the price he paid lol
The interior COULD have been good if they took the time to make sure everything actually sits into place. Fun fact: adhesive exists. There’s no saving the case though. Bad idea from the start.
I don't get going through this much effort to mod and build the wooden case and then just not taking the time to secure things properly and make it look better, especially for $600.
Like seeing the weird and interesting consoles I buy? If so, you'll enjoy my free weekly newsletter, sign up here: jrobgaming.com/ Btw, what do you think about this console... Too expensive? Too jank? Too much wood?
You can build noDVD with every Revision motherboard this way. Or you can build them without any DVD PCB as well. It doesn‘t come down to 1.6 to build it like that. The Fan was not ramped up in the Bios. So it Runs all the Time on 20%. With stock Fan no Problem, but a replacement have to be at least 80%. Your settings change in the dashboard only change in the dashboard. InGame it will get back to 20%. Modder perspective from me: nice idea, potential is there, but this build is not more then concept and is very far away from finished 600$ custom quality.
With how 3d printing is getting better and better, I wonder why people with the skills haven't designed custom cases for consoles or console like cases for PC parts.
if i had made an custom xbox with a wooden hull i would have done it very differently, with every corner made out of thick square pieces holding the panels together
It's not a bad concept however the design is horrible. I can build a way better box. I guess if someone is willing to spend 600 on it I can't knock them for it though.

Expected because its wood!
stay safe
Be safe with your technology.
I made some janky custom game consoles in my lifetime that is talking it to a new level
@@NascarProfan18 that is king fire hazard
For $600 there better be no rattling pieces inside & the wood wouldve been nailed/glued better. The quality of this is infuriating
Right
@@jrob0021Well it's better then my old doorbell it went on fire when charging beside a cloth and the cloth went on fire
defnitely sub-par woodworking.. more like the builder did not care
Bro got scammed
@@OblivionPrime sure looks like it, tho he did say he got some money back from the seller. still, too much of a scam to me
A console made out of wood, soaked in varnish, that's got a whole bunch of electronics inside that can possibly spark. Fun stuff lol
I can’t believe someone would charge more than $50 for that garbage
Literally just threw the guts of an OG Xbox into a random wooden box and called it a day 😂
This video reminds me of my gutted broken xbone s in a shoe box. Maybe I can make an x shoe box😅.
If only there was a wood duke controller for this fire wood drawer xbox 😹

That power supply is dangerous. Left alone could burn your house down

The material on the bottom of the interior appeared to be tool box liner. Which is usally made of foam rubber.
You could build this dirt cheap with motherboard standoffs, wood, and HVAC tape. Also needs more room for fans. Whoever built that didn't give af and didn't even join it nicely. For 600 there should be dovetails.
I'd demand a return. Absolutely no way that is acceptable for $50 Never mind $600!
Looks like something I could build, and I have no skills whatsoever to deal with wood. That console will definitely burn up if used for over an hour.
But what about the important question: Is it as much of a fire hazard as the OG Xbox itself?
This is literally just an OG Xbox's contents (minus the optical drive, while keeping the optical drive's PCB) rearranged into a smaller container. And the sad part is that all those wires are absolutely unnecessary.

I would find a way to install a large fan or 2 smaller ones in the top lid to help disperse the excess heat from the power supply.
man that xbox is the S "Struggling" edition
Cool idea...that wood working though💀
The og Xbox gives me Ben 10 vibes love it 😊
Hell yea! An open power supply is super spicy!
the fact that they made a console out of wood amazes me
What’s amazing? The console was just shoved in a shitty wooden box. They didn’t create the console. This thing is a fire hazard and a scam
The metal case around game consoles is there to reduce RADIATION 😂😅 OH BOY!!! I dont think its dangerous as much as it can interfere with radio signals etc
A console prone to overheating made out of wood. What could go wrong 😂😂
At least it has an Xbox instead of a raspberry pie but still not worth 500 you can buy one with a bad disc drive for 20$ then spend 20-30 more at home depot on wood,glue, and stain.
I still drive backwards in Nascar just to hit them
This xbox is worth way more than $600. That is rain forest teak. Beautiful craftsmanship. What an amazing deal.
/s
This makes my Nintoaster look like a million bucks
The X-Wood Amish Edition
Just feels right, and Eeef being in there made it better!
hey you know what would be cool if someone put a PlayStation pc Xbox Wii Nintendo in one console with all the 5 buttons to start the console you want to play on it would be hard but possible
Why does this remind me of Peter Knetter's cardboard N64??
Xbmc4gamers dash can display temps by clicking the Black button while on the dash
"I can woodwork."
$600 for that crap of a job lol
Apple 1 PC were wood cases. not ideal but can be used in a pinch.
Burn baby burn. Burn baby burn.
Lmao this is definitely some dude who had parts lying around and didn't want to hunt for a replacement case and just straight up DIYd it.
Someone had the nerve to actually sell this thing for $600... and someone actually bought it...
Alternative Comment: Surprised it's not called the 'Elvis' - as it doesn't have a wooden heart... (Sorry, couldn't resist it!).
Bro these sellers must see you coming.🤣
Welp, this was a bigger scam than the average item from Wish. Bravo.
Buying a $600 Xbox made of wood. It's the perfect console for lumberjacks who love gaming and fire hazards
600 is crazy
The wood itself was purchased in 2020, which was $599 on its own
Not unless if you are fron USA they pay 2 million dollars for a tiny house.
I am curious. Does this have ESPN NFL 2K5? That is the best football game ever!
you bought a fire hazard,🤣 and this ebay seller was trying to burn someone's house down!😡
the consoles you buy like this that are "custom" always look like a 9 year old built it. so bad lol
Dude got ripped off.
One born every minute
That's not a halo controller man. That's a regular Xbox s controller in the color the halo one was. The halo controller had the halo logo in the middle where Xbox is. I got the halo console when it came out from game crazy inside Hollywood video back in the day

I wish i had an xbox
dk oldies refurbished xbox
I am not a fan of custom. love original.
600 USD for that?! I'm in the wrong business.
Looks like you got scammed hard. Poor construction and definitely not worth $600. Even though you got some sort of a refund still not worth it.
Hm… Xbox Series X for $500 or the Wooden Xbox for $600… Difficult choice.
just return it, Not worth it.
omg most people do better job woodworking in high school that one is straight up fail i would be more than beyond embarrassed of that massacre that needed 90 percent refund .send me the parts and i can make you something that is actually nice lol
I now know this will be a ba ba ba banger
Ohhh yeah
Jocob tho you waist a lot of money its fun watching and learning from you
If that xbox has all the games that its been installed why not im going to buy it, some of the original xbox game are expensive
Was anyone else expecting an Xbox carved out of wood?
never played burnout, I wasn't a fan of race car games or racing in general
They gave these to the cremation facility for the patients to play.
wanna see my Middle Eastern Xbox 360
woodem xbox
made in canada
Jacob, honest question, Why do you smell EVERYTHING?
It’s literally sitting in front of me for hours while I film. It’s impossible to not smell anything odd extruding from the device
Why WOOD you buy it! Sorry I had to! 😂😂😂
good job
Why
Thats some crappy wooden box for real :D DIY on this one is very bad and no disc drive...
You bought a 600 dollar turd. Congratulations!
He got scammed
You got scammed.

Huge black rod
I don't get going through this much effort to mod and build the wooden case and then just not taking the time to secure things properly and make it look better, especially for $600.
The "modder" who made this should probably retire ngl 😂

Well im sure seller is happy he got 600$😁😁
That looks hideous!!!!!!
You said hot wood . 😂🤣
if i had made an custom xbox with a wooden hull i would have done it very differently, with every corner made out of thick square pieces holding the panels together
Bro if you see this comment your cool and I will support you your the best bro keep it up love your content 💙

The red light makes me think of RROD
Same
5:38 BIONICLE!!!
I actually used to have a copy on PC
You have been robbed my friend. I knew a guy who can make a lot better box than this for 5-10 euro... MAX!!!
If paid 600 for a wooden xbox i would want it made of high quality wood and carved exactly like the console
the dad says honey i am a wood worker now decides to mod he`s son OG xbox and make 400 dollar on it with the partial refund
Can't believe you paid 600.00 for that.
Buy an Xbox shell and put the guts into it
$600? for that?... dude, I have a bridge to sell you. 😉
This is a huge scam.
The quality is absolutely awful
This ain’t an Xbox, it’s an xBOX
