    A friend just texted me this. Thought I'd horrify the OG Xbox community.

    This is NOT an XboxSurgeon video, I would never ever do this to a precious device such as this...

    Yea, I've seen this before. Supposedly it was broken but that doesn't escape the fact that it was a dvt-4 :(

    Why did he need a DTV-4? Would this not of worked on a retail console?

    Edit: I see he wanted the taller case to fit his poor space management. Pretty troll move. This whole video is a troll video. He knew he would get a response by doing this. Sucks, because the dude is kinda crafty.

    The extra height... Yea with how good he was at building that I'd figure he would have done fine with a retail one.

    Yeah... I don't see the absolute need for a dvt4 to be disposed for a project like this...

    I start cringing at 1:15 on....

    I started cringing once I heard the music.

    Are you sure this is a "troll" video?

    I'm sure it was partially to get a reaction from the right crowd but its not completely for that purpose I'm sure.
    Its just someone who doesn't care about xbox and just saw it as a useful "retro" looking case to turn into his computer.

    I guess calling it troll was a little bit harsh, but the idea of the video was to get a reaction. It's like putting a Ford engine in a Chevy. It's meant to raise some eyebrows.

    All I have for the man now is disdain. That case could've been put to better use.
