This guy modded an Xbox case to house an Atom based motherboard. The finished product runs Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS X. It looks really good and it was well documented in video.

The only thing that he may want to redo is the HDD mount. He currently has 4 rotating SATA drives stacked right on top of each other. The drives may end up cooking itself and exceeding the max rated case temp.
