A gamer has shown off how they’ve turned a brokenXboxmini-fridge into a cool side table and storage unit. TheXboxmini-fridge was a Target exclusive when it was released in the United States, and gamers are still managing to find new uses for the device.

The Xbox mini-fridge is one of Microsoft’s stranger creations in recent years. The company has proven excellent at taking its flagship consoles, and reworking them in other ways that gamers can bring into their homes. Earlier this year, there were rumors that anXbox Series S Toaster was in the works, although any official news on that has since gone quiet. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft makes any further moves to turn its consoles into household items, because the potential is limitless.

Redditor Silent_Influence8780 showed off their creation online, and it seemed to take some work. TheirXbox mini-fridgefirst needed to have the cooling internals removed, and they’ve wired a USB cable to the front door so the lights and buttons still work as usual. It’s certainly a respectable effort, and they even finish it off by putting their Xbox Series X on top of it, too, with a Master Chief controller stand really cementing their Xbox fandom.

Other gamers in the thread loved the creativity of the idea, but also had some useful advice for the Redditor. Since they’re keeping hardware in the mini-fridge, one user suggested placing a packet of silica gel to soak up any moisture that it may still produce. The ingenuity of gamers can be incredible, especially when it comes to getting creative with hardware new and old, such as thegamer who created a working NES console out of a toaster.

As for Xbox itself, the company has been having a tough time of late. The controversial release ofRedfallhas led to a questioning of Xbox’s gaming strategy, with many disappointed with its output of first-party titles in both quality and quantity. Meanwhile, its acquisition of Activision looks no closer to completion as more hurdles continue to get in the way of the deal. Just this week,Microsoft’s Activision acquisition was hit with additional restrictions, leaving many wondering if it will ever go through at all. With the Xbox Games Showcase set for June 11 this year, hopefully Microsoft is able to set a path to a more promising future for the Xbox brand.
