I BUILT an Xbox Series X from LEGO Bricks! Yep, in this video I take a bunch of LEGO bricks and build a working LEGO Xbox Series X. That means not only building it but also cutting holes for the buttons and ports, fitting everything inside, and, of course, made sure it all worked when I was done.

I also built a LEGO NES. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/9JYseZLR0LI/w-d-xo.html
I'm glad you linked this! Was trying to find it since mobile youtube doesn't display in-video plugins.
*Can’t wait to see what you do with making a LEGO PlayStation 5*
lol before even checking for a new vid just watched the legoNintendo and coincidently you post this up how cool also when doing the usb holes maybe easier and neater to drill a couple or few holes inside the rectangle area then use the nail file to smooth off
I think we need a Lego Xbox Series S now
Super glue in the Lego blocks would really help keep in together. Also, longer screws with the same threads as the originals could be installed though the bottom to help keep the internals, well, internal. Awesome job Steve.
I think the real question here is, did you use the perfect amount of thermal paste?
As someone that built my own pc since I was eleven I have to admit that I feel into that trap the first time I heard it.
Of course he did
omg, imagine if he had to apply the perfect amount of thermal paste on every Lego piece.
@@SilverFang95 that is called pain
I don’t think he needed to because I think the thermal paste was never removed
There are definitely plenty of Lego enthusiasts/engineers that would love to own this. Probably a smart move. Not me personally, I'm too old for... (that's a lie, I just can afford that much Lego!)
Lol, they are expensive...but so fun!
@@Tronicsfix Indeed. I'm not a gamer but Lego has never lost it's charm. My teeth must have paid the price of trying to take it all apart.
@@wongowonga lego sell a tool to separate them... I wish I'd very had one when I was a kid... so much pain
@@vector6672 I had one but I was so young that I didn’t know what it was for 😂
@@vector6672 More expensive kits come with a brick breaker these days!
Nice idea and implementation! I would have loved it if instead of drilling you would have just left the spaces with legos. And I would have replaced the round button with square Lego pieces so that the buttons are kind of "secret". Great video Steve!
That's a good idea. I'm not sure how I would have been able to do that and still make the buttons functional. I'm sure there's a way but I'm not sure how I would have done it.
Or just use square holes. Also for the diskdrive slot you probally could have formed it by leaving a slot of 1 stud wide and being creative with plates and reinforcement
If you would drill through with a pilot hole and then drill from the front with the regular size bit you need it should be a little easier and cleaner. Even using step bit from front drilling would help also. Push out happens. Front drilling will make the push out in the inside where it Isnt seen.
Great video. I have never tried the lego things.
Don't drill use a Dremel Grinding bit or a hot iron.
Yeah I was gonna say a small pilot and then a step up bit also. You can control the size alot easier that way.
Pro-tips like this are why I scroll the comment section here. I will remember this, good lookin' out.
I seriously think this would be cool if lego made a partnership deal with microsoft nintendo and sony to make this an official product can you imagine the colour variants and designs they would come up with
That would be amazing!
@@Tronicsfix it would probably too much repairable though, imagine being able to disassemble whatever you want by hand instead of needing proprietary screws lol
@@edoardogamba6141 as far as that goes all they would need to do is create a mold that had each piece of the shell as one whole part, rather than separate like Steve's build here, so long as the end goal is to just snap lego's to the front and/or sides to customize the system
Manufacturing costs would probably be too high for this to happen.
@@Psych0technic how much does plastic cost realistically
Really cool build, not a fan of the Lego drilling🥴 but it turned out pretty well. Personally I would have just built slots and holes into the case using different shapes pieces, rather than cutting holes.
It was very very nice done man, certainly it looks like a very hard job... so congratulations!!!!. i wish you continued doing this kind of projects, they are great. Greatings from Argentina!
Thanks! The drilling was the most difficult but I've got some ideas to make it easier if I do another build in the future.
@@Tronicsfix Another build yes! I challenge you to make a PS5, i feel as if it would be hard because of the bowtie design! Also i have one and they are great
When cutting plastic with a rotary tool its best to use a slow rpm to avoid melting the plastic with friction heat it's make a nicer finish
I love your channel. You are an inspiration dude. I love everything us electronic repairmen do.
I appreciate that!
tronics this is such a dope idea man. i havent even watched the video yet im just starting it but im already so excited to see the outcome. GREAT CONTENT
These Lego videos are so much fun, I'd love to see more of them!
Glad you like them! I might have to make more. But NOT a LEGO PS5
Im surprised this doesnt have more views, been watching you while i do work and this genuinely pulled me out of my work and i watched the whole thing just impressed at what you managed to do with lego of all things
The top fan idea was super creative, I wouldnt have thought of using technic beams with green underneath
This is amazing. Great job putting it together. 👍
Wow, nice project. I enjoy this videos a lot! Cheers!
I really love how it's still a DIY not a premade Case that you just transfer the electronics into. A CNC machine would be really useful for this.
Another Tronicsfix video is just what I needed this Friday! 🍻
First thing: nice build!
Second thing: lego pieces can be replaced so you just need to buy more and retry.
Third thing: to have a perfect hole, use an rc body reamer, you just need a starting hole and you’ll get a perfect hole, super clean.
Pretty amazing, love the creativity.
This is very cool! I loved the NES Lego build you did. This one is very cool too.
That was amazing and a major shakeup from the usual content. Thumps up!
Loving these kind of videos.
So glad you enjoy these!
These videos are so awesome! I really enjoy these.
As a lover of both Xbox and Lego, this video was Very Enjoyable to watch. Thank you for this.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
This was amazing amazing to watch. Great job Steve!
Loved the video. Super cool
For it being the first Lego you drilled through besides the 1st hole you pushed, it turned out pretty cool
That was really cool!! Great job.
Truly could not wait to see this video. Nice work Steve!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
COOL 😎. LEGO builds from scratch are a challenge and you did some good workmanship. Strange how after you keep looking at the completed build 🤔 you'll want to do another, better one. Love the attention to detail 🥰
Thanks 👍
You could add a lip to the back to keep the chassis from sliding back. That would also cover up the tabs on the back panel giving it a cleaner look.
Incredible video, was fun every single minute
Ooh this looks fun
This was a fun one. A few things I'm disappointed in but overall it was a fun build.
This is awesome!!
Another Nice Lego Project! Keep the good work! And don't forget... the perfect amount of thermal paste.
I have a few lego video ideas for you, LEGO xbox series x and s controllers, xbox series s, playstation 5, ps5 dual sense controllers? that would be cool it would also continue this series and i think a lot of people would like it
That’s awesome 😎 great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is neat. I've used legos before to make small cases for projects. Very nice work!
Impressive! Super cool Steve!
Hey, thanks!
Great job!!
Thanks!
WOW! this is amazing so creative and looks great amazing job well done!
Love your video's this one is amazing.
Thank you so much!
Weld the plastic together from the inside for structural rigidity, for the back, use a large flat black piece and cut into it
This so creative 👍👍👍
Really enjoying your videos and curious of opinions/recommendations on books/videos etc to learn the electronic tech trade.
Honestly TH-cam is some of the best training out there.
New favorite thing on youtube. Well done.
Perfect as always 🙂
I still remember the NES. I actually got that set a few months ago. It’s really cool. But you should use the thermal paste as glue, so it won’t break apart.
Great first effort. I was really impressed.
As an engineer there's lots i think can be improved on. But this looks great given the tools at your disposal.
What other things could we stick xbox series x guts in I wonder?
I once saw a guy build an original xbox into a Millennium Falcon.
Another insanely great video, one of the best days, what more can i ask for
So glad you enjoyed it!
Since I recently came across your channel, Ive enjoyed everything, but this was a pretty fun step off the normal path!! Awesome!! BTW, get yourself the Dremel drill press accessory, it works well!! :D
Great video lad keep up with the good work
Thanks, will do!
You have done an awesome job!
Starting with smaller bits than you need when you drill and gradually work your way up will help with hole accuracy
Man, I like this Video. Great job :)
I want to try something with epoxy resin for a pc tower, but still lack enough experience. Great job on the project.
+TronicsFix That was really impressive! Love it!
Good job, looks great!
Thank you!
Love this, Steve.
That was freaking sweet.
I drove to Walla Walla over the weekend and as we were passing through Milton freewater I mentioned hey there’s a TH-camr I watch that lives here, lol 😆 👍🏻🎮📱💻🕹
Lol, that's awesome!
That was fascinating to watch.
This is great. If you are doing holes in plastic again, run the bit in reverse and it wont catch but should still cut through.
Good to know. Thanks
When making holes in plastic. You get yourself a variety of hollow metal pipes like plumbers copper pipe and you heat the end with a blow lamp to cherry red then gently push through the plastic. The centre piece goes up into the pipe and a neat hole is achieved.
Love the idea! Hate the cutting & drilling of the Lego bricks! With a little more planning I’m sure the gaps could have been created by leaving spaces between the bricks.
Great job Steve. I did a similar thing with a raspberry pi 3 that I turned in to a retro gaming console. It was a lot of fun 👍
Nice curve ball with the Lego project. Nice!
that is so awesome!
Now that's what you call content! 👍
Glad you like it!
very funny idea well done
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
Love it!
Now this is worth the wait
That Xbox is Really Cool. Wow! Great job keep it up
Dude this was awesome for your first lego build. Hopefully you sell this soon because I would definitely buy this.
that was amazing love see you do ps5 ones
Let the drill do the work. Many people force the drill in. A kernel tool or a small drill is good to start out with, so that you can make room for the big drill. But at the end, it all comes down to mood and patience.
Hi Steve, nice build, just a tip if I may, use wood drill bits, the pointy end helps a lot in stabilizing the hole and use some support under the piece, like a small scrap piece of wood or plastic.
I fully support you getting into some modding! It would be fun to see you approach modding from a repair back ground. Even some tinkering in water cooling would be enjoyable to watch.
Nice video 😀👍
Thank you 👍
Next time you’re drilling plastic, use your drill in reverse. Or use a heated rod to make those holes. You could’ve even probably have used your sander attachment on your dremel.
great job 👍
Thats really cool 😁😎
Awesome dude
Thanks 😁
Great video
For the holes, get a hole saw bit for your drill. A Milwaukee kit is around $50 and has multiple sizes. It's great for not only detail work but for installing potentiometers, ceiling lights, etc. I used a 6" hole saw to put recessed lighting in my basement and it was a breeze. Only difference with Lego is you'd have to go slow and keep it cool to prevent melting.
That's awesome!
Just AWESOME
I would have cut smaller holes and sand it till the right size, it would give more control on achieving the perfect cut, and I would have put the green on the outside, it would look cooler in my opinion. But it was a great work, nice job!
for future precise drilling use a tap and put a dimple in the center of the spot you want to drill through so the drill bit doesn't walk on you. love the Lego shell!
This reminds me of the LEGO Wii video from years ago!
Awesome video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Now this is cool
You're crazy bro hahaha but a genius 💯 excellent video 👌🏼🔝
Awesome!!!
nice work
cool i feel you will start a new trend with this
In future, when you drill into lego, i recommend wood drills. They make up cleaner cut and you need to make less corrections. Just take your time. - someone who has been cutting and modifying lego from childhood. I used to cut lego with metal (hand)saw, wood drills and little pocketknife.
oh man tronix! less drilling, more fancy lego pieces! so painfil!
"How to make your Xbox more expensive in 150 easy steps"
Ha, ha, that's true!
I remember when I upgraded my Commodore 64 to support both NTSC and PAL modes. I needed to drill into the case, which is 40ish years old now, for the mode switch. Most C64 cases are brittle as hell. But no, it drilled like a champ. In the end the hole looks like it was always there.
