Well to update everyone I have successfully finished the beta of my project, when I get the tools I will move on to upgrading the box with a Xbox 360 controller and I will figure out what to do with the disc tray. Here is the video of what I currently have.

all parts are super glued to the case obviously its not the neatest case mod but there is literally nothing more you can do to fit something so big into something so small, otherwise this project would have been more professionally done with usb ports ect...
As for the backstory I got the idea when my friends and I were relaxing and having a "That 70's show" moment (if you catch my drift, which oddly enough is where all my breakthrough ideas happen...) and listening to stranglehold by Ted Nugent. I sat there and looked at my friend and I remembered he had an Xbox1 he said he didn't use anymore so I offered to buy it off him, he declined and gave it to me for free a week later and I began this project. Its not that big of a deal and all I really used was an all purpose screw driver, Yard shears, Krazy Glue, and a hammer lol. Overall this project took me 4 hours to complete and 2 more hours to then go back and glue everything down.
Okay so I literally bled and pored sweat over this project. Okay so what I have set up is I removed all components from xbox 1 and removed the metal casing from the xbox 360 case and then I carefully fit the power supply and the motherboard and the hard drive and fan along with the controller components and the power chip all in the correct area inside the bare 360 plastic case, I even got the controller port for the xbox 1 where the usb ports used to be and the power/eject button are placed correctly for the case and I had to cut the fan a bit so it fit inside and glued the bottom down to the plastic so it doesn't topple onto the heatsyncs. I did some minimal cutting in the back for the VGA card but the ethernet and power supply fit snuggly in their correct ports. Heres the problem I put the case all back together (everything is not bolted down and the power supply is upside down and they are free inside the case but the parts fit so snuggly they don't move or bump one another even when rotating the 360...) But I can't figure out what to do with the disc drive it so huge I have it hanging out the hard drive port on the 360 right now sitting ontop of the case I want it to look nice though... However I'm just about to bolt down the disc drive to the top but I wanted to know if anyone had any other suggestions...
Also do you think upside down power supply will cause fire? So far no burning or funny smells or anything but just making sure...
