My Xbox Case Mod

Well, now that I have a 360 i decided to grow a pair and tear apart my original xbox. I am going to be putting it in a computer case basicly. But, this is a lot harder than it sounds, with the length of the cables being very limited, and the xbox motherboard needing custom mounting holes because it is not a computer standard mobo. So far i have the power supply mounted and the dvd drive and hard drives mounted, now I am going to be working on the motherboard. After that, I will be taking everything out, painting the case black, installing a window on the side (in which i will cut out the original "X" from the top of the xbox case and installing that in the center of the window with led rope lights around it) and installing a lot of lights, cathodes, etc. It will be extremely bada$$. wish me luck, i will be posting pictures once it is complete.

well it still works!

Sounds cool! Can't wait for pics. :)

if you want i can post some pics of my in the works mod. it works right now, now i just need to make it look good.

Good luck MasterChafed, I'm interested to see the pictures also.

can't wait to see this:)

Some pics will go a long way.

There shall be pics, don't worry. I just want this to look awesome when i get them. :D believe me, right now it has a lot of lights in it and it is still getting some more.

Nice all mine have is blue light with a clear case.

so I decided, what the hell, might as well release some pics. Its no where near finished, but to a point that i think its worthy of showing.

wow, never thought people would stop caring AFTER i posted pictures, lol.

Thanx man.

No offence it looks great. But i thought it was going to be something more then a led and new case. But thumbs up i like it heck i have the same withe box but mi led is orange.:D

umm, actually it has many more than one extra led in it. and i am nowhere near finished.

what happend to the handheld from microsoft. It would be pretty cool to have an xbox portable.

old thread, but im posting anyways. nice stuff, im gonna do the same to mine with an old emachine case. i'll add 4 usb ports, headphone jack, VGA-out, and a possible 2nd hard drive. im adding lights without a doubt, i plan on replacing a piece of the case top so you can see the modded disk drive(modded so that you can see the disk spinning). as soon as i can get some cables and enough parts to start work, i'll get to it.

Hate to bust your bubble..
but this has been done plenty of times before...
xbox-scene dot com...
but it does look pretty nice though...
