I've actually seen that before. Lian Li makes great aluminum cases all around.
But I've yet to actually talk to anyone who's bought one. Wouldn't be that big of a deal to take a brand new Arcade and strip it. Of course paying $150 for a case to house a $200 console would be only for the serious Xbox fan who was tired of going through systems due to high use.
You'd still be better off with something like an Antec case with multiple 120mm fans for less $. Mounting the motherboard would take some case customization; tapping new holes for the mobo risers, etc. and you would still have to replace the stock heat sink with after market ones, but you'd have the coolest running Xbox for what that's worth.
Come to think of it, just mounting a larger heat sink with an integrated 120mm fan with some good thermal compound like AS5 alone would solve all heat exchange problems, only it wouldn't fit in an Xbox pizza box case. Mounts would have to be custom made too.
Probably more trouble than it's worth really.
