Seems Unlikely

Well, we all probably have one of these under the kids beds or generally knocking around... My brother has always been heavily into the modding scene and does a quck and easy install on the xbox one. By installing a bigger hard drive you can 'back up your games' onto the hard drive, a 300gb ide will hold 50 or so games with ease, emulators and the like can also be installed. So, digging the spare xbox out, i set about installing in the leggy. I did not want it to be invasive eg cutting of trim so went for an install that wouldnt leave the car 'scarred'.
The console catches against the brace bar that runs underneath the passenger seat when pushed halfway, removing the lid and drives showed that it would fit and sat back far enough so there was still leg room for kiddies in the rear. Butchery therefore began to ensure the drives were lower than the case sides.

Caddy for dvd 'modifed' at rear to lower rear of dvd drive. Lowers it about 5mm which does the job.

Controller port moved to side of case so that wireless controller reciever can be fastened to side. Fits beneath dvd caddy, I used port 2 as wires reach without stretching.

Sat and snapped off the parts that stuck up on hard drive caddy. Ugly but functional.
Lowered case internals completed (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll297/Seems_Unlikely/Xbox%20original%20install%20in%20car/DSC00070.jpg)
IDE cable has room to fit within case.
