If you remove the Board from the drive, and just put the board in connected to the ide, it might work. Why make a smaller xbox though? ;)

because if looks pimp duh. And if your xbox is modded I dont think you need the disk drive attached to boot anymore.

I would love to see a picture of that modded "mini" Xbox, Also I would like to purchase an xbox and put MCE on it and upgrade to a 300gb 7200 rpm WD HDD I have. Can someone point me to a resource or guide, if this is even possible?

Yep there is an article in this months pop sci about soft modding the x box with a linux os xbox media center. Though it doesn't cover if it is possible to upgrade it to that large of an HDD.
