Removing the Outer Shell of an Xbox
The Xbox was Microsoft's first hardware entry in the home video game console space. It was praised for the quality of its build, graphics and audio, as compared to its competitors -- the Nintendo GameCube and the PlayStation 2. As with most home video game consoles, opening up the system voids the warranty. But if yours has already expired, it's simple to remove the outer casing.

Tips & Warnings
Do not use a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver, as this will strip the screws and make them extremely difficult to extract.
