This Xbox One S mod hides a full Windows gaming PC within the original shell — sleek design retains a working optical drive

A modder named PhasedTech has created a unique Xbox One S mod that houses a full Windows gaming PC within the original console shell, retaining the optical drive's functionality. Unlike previous projects, this mod includes an internal power supply, discrete graphics card, and an optical disc drive to closely mimic the original console. By carefully mounting components without the use of glue, the modder achieved a professional finish while maintaining the original look of the Xbox One S. The compact build features an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 16GB of DDR4 memory, and an Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, making it suitable for less demanding games like Valorant and Counter-Strike 2 at 1080p with medium settings.
