Microvision 360 hack slaps an Xbox on the back of an old TV for no good reason

A familiar face on these pages, primarily for his PSP work, PvP_LostKnight seems to have decided his Xbox 360 was lonely and cold, so he stripped off the case and strapped the thing to the back of his old HD LCD. PvP has never been heavy on the instructions, but he's got a few shots of the "Microvision 360" setup, plus a video of all the excitement (embedded after the break). We can only hope that insane fan noise is from some sort of warehouse cooling fans in the background, and isn't coming from this little heat sandwich he concocted.

[Thanks, Tony H]

+1 for effort

[predicting double post]


I must have already been asleep when she said that.

[Paul @ Jul 9th 2008 7:41PM]

No it's not.

[Mr Farts @ Jul 9th 2008 7:42PM]

In case anyone is wondering, they're all talking about sexual intercourse.

[HOOPER @ Jul 9th 2008 8:57PM]

Ha Ha Ha, I get it now !

[BuddhaBoy @ Jul 9th 2008 10:57PM]

What's sexual intercourse?

[GatgetMan @ Jul 9th 2008 11:17PM]

@BuddhaBoy

Ask your hand....

[OneLove @ Jul 10th 2008 12:31PM]

hand = fake vagina

The dude just couldn't wait for Lian Li to give him the proper outlet for his 360 modding needs...

[Itsuru @ Jul 9th 2008 7:24PM]

A lamp would have been useful...

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 9th 2008 7:35PM]

All the kids' toys behind him give away the fact that sometimes raising children you must sacrifice luxuries like light.

[Lamp @ Jul 9th 2008 8:01PM]

for what?

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 9th 2008 8:08PM]

I love Lamp.

[Lamp @ Jul 9th 2008 9:02PM]

...i dont even know you.

[Itsuru @ Jul 9th 2008 9:52PM]

He was quoting Anchorman there.

A lamp would have been useful so we could have actually seen the mod, the video was a little dark.

[Lamp @ Jul 10th 2008 12:36AM]

i like sarcasm.

especially when people dont understand it.

[Phil @ Jul 10th 2008 1:00AM]

It's mood lighting. He was just setting us up for that first post... +2 for style

[DESTOS @ Jul 9th 2008 7:29PM]

This mod seems.....useless...

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 9th 2008 7:32PM]

I don't think the mod was about the Xbox 360.

He successfully modded his flatscreen into a CRT sized flat screen...

[Arley @ Jul 9th 2008 7:32PM]

How come at least he didn't try it on a Projection HDTVS those things are huge lol my dad bought 1 in 2005 at least it was a Sony lol

[Colin Potter @ Jul 10th 2008 4:40AM]

"how come" you had to tell us that story "LOL"

[Mr.Ortiz @ Jul 9th 2008 7:32PM]

where does the red ring go?

[Phil @ Jul 9th 2008 7:47PM]

See the above post referring to sexual intercourse.

[John @ Jul 9th 2008 7:32PM]

Only 1 game played on that account? Really is he just doing it for kicks?

[maty @ Jul 9th 2008 8:06PM]

Or maybe its just a new Xbox and he just threw in a new account on setup?

[Phil @ Jul 9th 2008 7:41PM]

Should have gone old school and used a CRT, then we can burn the carpet and our eyeballs at the same time.

[Tom Reinke @ Jul 9th 2008 7:42PM]

If he's got kids this is a GREAT way to get the 360 and all of its cords off the floor so toddlers and little ones don't trip, or, god forbid, knock over the machine.

[KarlW @ Jul 9th 2008 8:10PM]

Yea, let's hope they're not in to chewing capacitors or sticking things in exposed fans

[KarlW @ Jul 9th 2008 8:17PM]

Ah, my bad, didn't watch the video (buffering forever), just saw the article pic.

Still, let my above comment be a health and safety warning to all geeks with kids regardless.

[Eddie @ Jul 9th 2008 8:14PM]

Does he have an airplane in the room?


Nevermind... the Xbox was on.

[Akio @ Jul 9th 2008 10:28PM]

the xbox was on AFTER he started it with the pad...not before, I'd say he has air con in there or something? :|

[Phil @ Jul 10th 2008 1:11AM]

Are they really that loud? I've only seen a 360 once but it was turned off and smelled like burning plastic. Maybe he needs the A/C to stop the bad smell and magic smoke from coming out.

[majortom @ Jul 9th 2008 8:16PM]

Wow! A snazzy rug and a picnic table inside a singe wide...

[james Walker @ Jul 9th 2008 8:21PM]

WHY OH WHY?

[BustaCap @ Jul 9th 2008 8:24PM]

I can throw some lettuce, carrots and salad dressing in my ass and call it a salad. But I doubt anyone would want to eat it.

[Rogue_Genius @ Jul 10th 2008 12:05AM]

"You RROD'ed, Johnny. Guess what you have to do?"

"NOT THE TOSSED SALAD MAN!"

[jason @ Jul 9th 2008 8:51PM]

i think he voided his warranty.

[HOOPER @ Jul 9th 2008 9:00PM]

Yeah, I ususally show off my mods inside of a plane too.

[ShadowKain @ Jul 9th 2008 9:06PM]

Man had a plan, can you blame him for going out on a limb?

[Rob @ Jul 9th 2008 9:07PM]

What the hell is all that noise. It sounds like an airport runway. I have 2 360s and they're not that loud at all. Interesting concoction though.

[Chris @ Jul 9th 2008 10:28PM]

But how does it display the red rings of death?

[BuddhaBoy @ Jul 9th 2008 11:01PM]

Would that be a tossed salad?

[BuddhaBoy @ Jul 9th 2008 11:37PM]

This was meant for BustaCap's post:

I'd certainly echo what other have said about being able to setup a routine. I HATE having go back to the menu and pick my next exersise.

And in the mini games section... you have to press teh 'A' button 4X to just try that game again. Very frustrating expecially when you're playing a game that you don't need a wii-mote for and you want to try over and over again (like ski jump). It would have been great if they parked an 'A' button on the backside (maybe right of the power?) so you could just kick it...

Also be really cool when other games start using the balance board. Anybody else think Monkey Ball would be really fun with the board?? :)

[eRk @ Jul 10th 2008 1:12AM]

i just figured out *why* this is happening. my sso app is messing with me. sorry guys!!

[Oskin @ Jul 10th 2008 1:25AM]

What the hell are you talking about? Have you even read the post at ALL? Or is it just the comment system that's fucked up again?

[Oskin @ Jul 10th 2008 1:26AM]

OH sorry! Your own replied wasnt displayed for some reason!

[Grant @ Jul 10th 2008 1:44AM]

this..... doesn't go here.
