Hi,

I'm in the process of modding my xbox alittle with a clean jewel and some El-Wire to make the jewel glow.

I did the jewel last night and got some El-Wire this morning, I had a quick look at it this morning before work. The invertor box is bloody huge.


I didnt have time to take the xbox apart and see if it would fit anywhere, but it did look too big. Only thing I can think is it remove the plastic casing and maybe the actual hardware aint so big.

Where did you guys put it too?
Did you do any mods to install it?

Thanks

I have a bigass sound activated inverter, so I had to mounted on the back of my box. Just drilled one hole to feed the wires through and two more on each side to to thread zip tie fastners to it.

Image is kindof dark, but you could probably make it out.

Is the light enough to light a jewel (If you put the Wire round the hole on the inside) or will it be to weak to give a good glow?
