should be able to do it with a miniITX mobo (newegg et al. carries them) and a notebook HD (even a deskcop HD might fit).

The biggest challenge you will face is going to be getting the PCI slots to the outside as well as the ports on the mobo. As for miniITX boards being at newegg, I haven't found any there. They might have some FlexATX boards that MIGHT fit... You'll need to change out the optical drive on the xbox for one that will work with a pc though. Oh, and any 3.5" drive WILL fit in the xbox case. I know because I replaced the 8GB drive that came in the xbox with a 160GB drive I had hanging around.

Why not just go SFF?

I saw someone squeeze an Xbox into an old Millenium Falcon toy from the original trilogy. It was awesome.

I guess Newegg dropped the miniITX stuff but it shouldn't be too hard to find some. Perhaps the fad wore off after just about anything that could be fitted with one had been... Now only those with a really serious need for small, cool and quiet are going to bother - not a big enough market for newegg.
. But using Froogle, I found lots of sources.
