With exception of the Mister, all consoles have either been modded or repaired. Bonus, everything is automated through Home Assistant so it will turn on the TV, switch inputs, and turn on the console, all via voiced controlled.

Really hope you're not running the Xbox sideways like that. They're not designed to do that and it can cause severe damage. Any tiny little bump or shake of that dresser can end its life forever if it isn't modded to be always unlocked. Even then, it will take time to repair the disc drive or HDD.
I don't use discs, I run off an SSD. That one has a stellar and XboxHD mod. Also that shelf isn't going anywhere. It's solid wood with a slate top, it takes two people to lift it just enough to get furniture sliders under it and the stand is very stable.
Edit: it also has the ram upgrade and an externally powered relay to control the power switch.
Even still, most of the people that see this image are not using mods that you are, probably have a default Xbox with the clock cap still (only okay for a 1.6), and will only look and this and say: "Hey, I didn't know I could put the Xbox sideways like that, I can save some space," and before you know it this picture has indirectly contributed to the shrinking number of functional Xbox consoles.
I get where you're coming from and thats why I up voted the comment but I'm not too concerned about that. I printed the stand myself but the listing for it even gives a warning https://stoneagegamer.com/vertical-stand-for-xbox-retro-frog.html .
