I dont think its wise to have a pc mobo and xbox mobo together in one case and feeding off the same main lifeline of the pc. You could stand to loose both pc and xbox if done in properly for one and 2 there will be heat issues. _________________

electronic equipment emit radio frequencys, and a computer and xbox are not meant to work in that close of a proximity to each other. _________________

A PC PS will power a xbox, but you'll have to modify the main power connector. There are tons of pin outs for this though that you can use to easily modify the PC PSU _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

If your PSU happens to have 2 mainboard connectors(and I can't see why it would) you would need to make a custom connector. There is a book called "Hacking the xbox" by Bunnie where he shows you step by step what you need to do to adapt it. I'm sure there are internet tutorials as well, just try a google search _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

also, when i start this when the case gets here, and i have to order that psu converter.. I'm gonna have to extend not only the dvd power, but the on and off button wires and probably all the wires for the controllers, i want to place the motherboard so i dont have to mess with much of the wiring for the controllers but i think its a must..

then you might want to order some heat shink tubing(its way better than electrical tape and more pro looking) and wire. _________________
