~clean Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Very Cool mini atx case mod :) I needed a small Windows XP machine and a Mini-ITX board was the obvious choice. So I decided to build my "Windows XP Box" in a Windows XP box. The external dimensions of the box are a tiny 243mm x 200mm x 48mm Link :: Click Here Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/121977-windowx-xp-case-mod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciguy007 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 on tech tv once they built a computer in one of those army type ammo cases, probably about the same volume as the windows xp box.

Borbus Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thats the best case mod I have seen. Is it just coincidence that mini-ATX is the correct size for a XP box?
