What gaming PC allows you to add a PS3 or Xbox 360 to your tower?

I know that you can make your own PC tower and add a PS3 or 360 to it. However, it'll be a lot of work. I know that there's one on sale on some website where you can add a PS3 or 360 to a gaming PC as part of it's tower. Anyone heard of it?

    I don't know any towers that are actually made for this, you would probably have to custom build one.

    Just remember, you will need space for 2 motherboards if you want to add it to a tower that also has PC components, and enough space for expansion cards and such. Don't forget about very good cooling, placing PS3 or XBOX 360 components into a case with PC parts is going to create a lot of heat. Wii would probably be a much more simpler system, very small components, and very minimal heat.

    You would need to drill custom holes for any game console motherboard, and also accommodate for different hard drive size, PS3 and XBOX 360 both use 2.5 inch hard drives, while PC uses 3.5. Another thing would be to have some custom cradles so you could mount the disk drives in such a way to be accessible.

    Any way you try to do it, you will need to have one very big case. The most space efficient would be to have the motherboards across from each other, but make sure to have enough space in between for airflow, expansion cards, and heat-sink's.
