Spotted this Xbox 360 like DIY Case, with a interesting (not sure how safe) PSU mod, at the MetkuMods.

I'm curios as to the temperature where the hard drive is mounted... Warm air from the CPU and graphics chips and right next to the power supply... And is the piece that is right over the drive a magnet ?

I believe that is a coil from the PSU and it got removed later.

Temperatures where nice, if you did read to the end. "Fans were set to 7 volts. With 2 hours of CpuBurn, the CPU's temperature didn´t rise above 40 C. I also cheked the temperature of the GPU after running 3dmark2k3 several times in a loop and the temperature was still under 40 C. The air that comes trough the PSU is no hotter than that of a normal PSU, so I believe it to be sufficently cooled too."
