A massive, 40-pound block of machined aluminum, buffed to a mirror shine and shaped into an X, with a glowing green jewel at its core. It was a sight to behold and completely impractical as a home console. But it didn’t need to be. This was a statement piece, built to turn heads and prove that Microsoft could go toe-to-toe with the giants of gaming of the time (Sony, Nintendo and Sega). So I set out on a journey to build my own, an exact replica, machined from solid aluminum… only better in every way. Join me as I take you through how it was done. —-- Timestamps 0:00 Intro 5:38 How To Make The Massive Metal Shell? 7:50 Part 1: Getting The Dimensions 13:51 Part 2: Powering The Beast 16:34 Part 3: The $36,000 Question 19:20 The Glowing Green Core 22:15 The Arrival 27:19 The First Assembly 33:56 The Final Build 38:57 What Can It Do? 41:58 What’s Next? 43:12 Shout Outs! // XBOX Prototype Dream Team: ► Wesk: https://x.com/WeskMods ► Support Wesk’s Preservation Work: https://ko-fi.com/weskmods ► Redherring32: https://x.com/redherring32 ► Support Redherring32: https://ko-fi.com/redherring32 ► StuckPixel: https://x.com/pixel_stuck ► Support StuckPixel: https://ko-fi.com/stuckpixel //Make Your Own Custom Case HERE: ► MyCaseBuilder: https://mycasebuilder.com/ // Get Your Limited Edition XBOX Prototype T-Shirts HERE! ► Limited Edition: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/product-page/xb-prototype-le-tee ► Standard: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/product-page/xbox-prototype-video-tee //Original Music from Early Attic ► https://matthewmccheskey.bandcamp.com/album/panoramic ► https://www.facebook.com/earlyattic/ //XBOX Mods From The Video: ► SSD Mod (Affiliate): https://www.amazon.com/shop/machonachoproductions/list/3JN287U11S04Y?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_Z1QE565VMTKJ78H164Y3 ► HDMI Kit: https://makemhz.com/products/xboxhd // Support Macho Nacho: ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/MachoNachoProductions ► JOIN our DISCORD Community: https://discord.gg/4c3fCnfdaH ► AMAZON Store For Tools/Supplies I Use (Affiliate): http://www.amazon.com/shop/machonachoproductions // Follow Macho Nacho On Social Media ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/machonachomedia ► Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/machonachomedia.bsky.social ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/machonachoproductions/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MachoNachoProductions —-- // SAVE MONEY at these Retro Gaming Stores!
