OS Xbox Pro
Written by Chris Tangora
Will U. Design has a new mod out that features OS X (as well as Linux and W7). Will isn't a Mac guy, but he soon realized that the people he wanted to work for were (video editing with Final Cut Pro). He couldn't make himself walk into an Apple store, so he made himself a Hackintosh. The thing that gets me is that the new Microsoft stores mimic the Apple stores so much! Anyways, back to the story. 
Since Will is so anti-Mac he wanted to make his Hackintosh with an homage to his Microsoft roots, so he grabbed an XBox and went to work. Lots of work later (and an EFI-X dongle) he was able to get a triple boot system, the OS XBox Pro. Reminds me of the XBox G4 from 2008's Mac Mod Challenge.

This is one of the cleanest mods I've seen... period. The video is a great watch, even at 10 minutes. The whole process is shown.
If you ever wanted to learn how to make a case mod, or start from scratch, I'd say this should be required material to look over.
