To use another DVD drive, I believe you need to have the correct firmware flashed to it for it to function correctly in an xbox, not 100% though.
You wish to make your own xbox case from scratch, correct? With a CD palyer style DVD drive (one that opens up instead of the tray coming out)?
If I understand correctly, it would probably just be easier to modify your original xbox dvd drive. Thats just my opinion though. Play around with a few different ideas, and see which one works best for you _________________

You can use any standard DVD drive, BUT you will not be able to play original Xbox disks.
If you are making a case from scratch, you could make a couple of external connections that you could use to connect the Original Xbox DVD for when you wanted to load a new game onto the HDD. _________________ I think I like fixing Boxes more than using them!
Naaaah!
