The power supply should be swappable. Mark one Xboxes used the AT standard I believe and Mark 2 onwards the ATX. This means that the internal voltages should be the same. That is the case for most consoles actually, the best example being the N64. I always found it funny when people imported them and used a step down, the power bricks were entirely compatible. To run a US or Japanese one all you had to do was bung in a British power brick and you were away.
The Xbox is just a PC designed specifically for gaming,

Quite correct, thats why you take extra precautions with regard to the power supply.

Try opening an Xbox up, it's a mini tower on its side.
As far as i know, only similarity is that they use IDE hard disks and cables and plus- arn't they built in components
