# ahhh
www.mini-itx.com might have something

# I had a look there but the ITX stuff
is all C3/EDEN/Transmete stuff - which are great for power economy/sound levels - but as I already have the 1700+ I don't really want to change to a lesser chip if I can help it

the gingerbread house, however, is fantastic

# yeah, indeed
your best bet might just be to go atx if you want fast/compact.

# lego it is
I mentioned it to my mum (for it is for her) and she was keen on the lego idea, easy to put a new drive bay in I guess

# yeah, indeed
you're gonna need a lot of lego though

and you're tempting me to rebox the xbox in lego now

# hehehe
I have all my childhood lego in a sack somewhere - it's ment for my nephew - but this seems more worthy

Rehouse it HARD - the X Box looks arse in its normal box
