This is my first mod. Excuse the horrible pic quality. Let me know what you think.

My first xbox mod

The details of what everything is and how I did it is written in the description under each pic.

Here is my first mod. I have a Xenium chip in there, too. Not the best, I think I will pick up some LEDs later.

Technosmurf
got a few xboxs....

So here are some pics of my first modded Xbox. Just finished it this afternoon. Mod chip is on the way, so are LEDs for the inside of the box.











I know the window and jewel are pretty common mods, but it only took a few hours worth of work and this is a first attempt. Rest assured, I'll be modding a few more boxes and I definately want to figure out something unique to do.

Lol, this was actually my first time using the dremel, just confidence and the right bits. Just do something different, took me a while to come up with an idea for my box




And this is what it looked like origionally




Just take your time with your next box and go for it.

Also i did have a loooooooooot of spare time! lol.

These are some pics of my first S controller mod
i wired two blue leds into the memory card for constant then wired two more in the handles for when the controller rumbles like when you get shot it lights up

this is when you get shot

just messing around with some controllers

i will put my other controllers and the case up later when i get my camera to work

PS: God, I love this forum, definetly one of the better ones here on X-S.

Well here's mine! Havent finished yet but it gives you a pretty good sense of where im going =)

This was the first step of my modding, fitting the glowwire in the box and a 80mm led fan:







This is after the second step, added som diods for power-on and above controller ports:







The things that are left are some leds showing hdd and network activity and leds in the controls. If anybody have guide for good places to put the leds in the controller s please post a link or something =)

Very nice.. Here is a link for controller leds.. It uses an original controller as an example, but its the same for an s controller

I finally got around to giving my replacement case a formal paintjob. I used Duplicolor "Auto Spray"... Electron Blue on Gunmetal. Any import fans out there might know those colors right away, if you don't ehh, no matter .


One cool thing that happened that has me thinking... I dropped the front panel that goes around the buttons with wet paint on it, face first, onto the dirt/woodchips. LOOK at the picture (that thing to the right is some dust, not in the paint)... I DID NOT sand it, I picked it up really quickly and came in to my sink and ran HOT water over it... everything came off and the paint went from kinda spotty in places to what you see in the pictures! Believe me I was like WTF ! After that happened I painted the top X and decided to experiment... I ran it under the HOT water in the sink about 1-2 minutes after painting and the paint got alot more even or something? I dont know if it was the plastic or the paint or just some kinda freak accident, but I believe that it helped my paintjob astoundingly!

Anyway, what do you guys think?

My 11th Xbox paintjob

here's one of mine

heres mine, i just finished



my favorite...

First paintjob. Candy Apple Red + Gunmetal trim = Guncandy?

Had a bad incident with plastic drop "cloths" during painting, so the X is shot to shit if you concentrate on it. But from this angle, it looks quite alright. Hehe.

Note to self: next time you try painting, use paper to cover your work area. Screw plastic.

that air brush is wicked nice. I want to get an air compresser and start air brushing, or trying to.
btw, here is a pic of my HD window mod.

Here is my xbox, it'sthe first time I have painted a case, I think it looks really good what do u think? The blue isn't actually that glittery in real life it's just the flash of the camera. And yes I know that is an emachines in the corner . My box pails(sp) in comparison to someof the other mods I've seen here, but I am learning and hatsa off 2 everyone who has helped me along the way. It is a version 1.0 Has a samsung 616T installed and 1/2 the tsop is flashed and a swich is installed in the rear. Here are the pics!!

It's not actually case modding, but take a look at my mobo (maybe a bit) ;P

Who has a better one ;>?

Here are some pics of my half-life xbox. I am going to add some screws and make a half-life 2 logo.

Here is my progress thread.

Here's mine, there would be more pics but the old lady took the digital. http://www.ratemyxbox.com/gallery/Captin-Slap

I plan on painting the Bezel so it blends in more wiht the black middle area. Here's two more:





There's a link to more in my sig

Techno Smurfs crazy xbox


Just though I would post my xbox again because I didnt get that much feed back. NO I did not buy this xbox on ebay I am the guy that made this xbox. I desided to keep the xbox. Take a look at some of my other work too.

ive never painted before and was terrified when doing this. i think it turned out pretty damn well though for my first ever attempt at a paint mod. its a little hard to see, but i chose a silver chrome paint and the normal xbox black. oh yeah, in the bottom right corner, you can see my little usb plug i added. (i know its not much, but im a new modder and am really impressed with what ive been able to do)

oh, btw, the jewel isnt done yet, i just placed it back on there. im not really into distracting led's so im just gonna paint the back of it black.


EDIT: sorry the pic wouldnt post and neither will direct linking, so copy and paste this into the address bar:

Here are some pics of my box, which is finally finished, except for a decent jewel I'm still looking for.

Dupli color
Gunmetal and
Light Crystal Blue

Blueshift's Blue Box

Pics of my box, still a work in progress should be done any day, week, month now...

Anywho, here's the front view:

No, the DVD window is not uneven, it the angle the picture was taken at. And the eject button is normally blue, but without the video beng connected, it blinks blue and white... just happen to catch it while it was white.

Here's a close up of the controller port (2 blues, 1 white):


That's about all I've got to show off right now... so here's a picture of a squirrel eating a Cheeto:


The other mods I've done will be removed after I recieve my new case bottom... they will have to go back to the drawing board untill I get time to tinker with them since no one really wanted to help me out on them.

Once I get a little more time when I can use my dremel (I work 2nd shift so I'm up all night in the barracks while most other people are trying to sleep) I'll be adding an LED cluster for hd, dvd, and lan activity. It will be painted shortly, I'm thinking white with "nintendo" grey for the 'X"... might just keep it solid white. Beofre I paint it, I will remove the "XBOX" from the DVD drive and sand down the dolby/DVD crap on the right. The power/eject buttons will be replaced with clear ones once they get made (in progress). The Xecutor dipswitch board will be replaced with 4 small rockers in the lefthand corner, and a larger (possibly lighted) rocker for turning the chip on and off.

Anyways, that's the plan so far... if I get the time to do everything, now that's another story.

I'll probally be adding a few more pics in a few days, my jewel will be here and maybe I'll get around to cutting some plexiglass for the DVD window...

i love what i see here, some great work.
i'll go ahead and throw in what i've been working on:







i need to take better pics and repost, but i wanted to go ahead and get something for everyone to see. the 3rd pic is with the xbox turned off, just showing that i tented all of the windows so they are black when the xbox is turned off.

and yes, this was the first time i ever used a dremel and it does show. i'm sure if i could redo it now, it would have turned out much better, but as is.. . i am 100% happy with it

I think it looks great becides some smudges on the silver, but im happy with it. This was also my first time ever using a dremil and like my second time spraypainting

http://store.coolerguys.com/80stmefigr.html

i would probably just get a knife and steal a chunk of someones screen door myself though.

hi,

well here is my xbox2pc mod.

my xbox2pc pics

Hey there everyone - I am new here - Just ordered myself a smartxx chip , and while waiting decided to take a can of spraypaint to my halo special ed xbox - after two coats - this is the results:





And, I put a yellow-wire-to-ground pressbutton in the controller for doing the video reset trick...



What do you guys think of my first work? hehe

-James

Well, here you go.

thanks yarok - the secret is to use a unibit - the kind that are christmas tree shaped and have ridges of different size bores and a wedge missing all the way down inside which is written the diameters - because they dont skip around and in plastic are the only way to get perfectly round holes.

Edit: Like this >>

very nice.

Yarok, I like the clothespin pics. Hehe. Very nice lookin' mod. Clean and professional in my opinion.

Nice mods.

glow pad ... yeah i remember doing something like that for a project in school. but instead i used a clear yellow acrylic rod. put a light to to it on one end, and viola, instant light sabre!

finally got my gallery thing done http://skuggi.servepics.com or click my siggy (gotta love the long names the college gives you) it's pretty easy to code if ya want to use it for yourself just viewsource and do your own thing where the script is to include my navbar. oh and remember to use source from the popup image view you'll need that as popup.htm

here's my controler LED mod:




and then there's this:


--it's a variation of the HDD LED Wheel, instead of LED's the circut drives a stepper motor via L293D IC, and turns the motor according to IDE Activity.

Here's a video file that gives a better look of it:

Dont know if any one has tried this but i did,
inbetween the d-pad and bottom thumb stick i drilled a hole and put a .357 Mag caseing in it. Got it polished up real nice, pic:
