got board waiting on replys on the burst mod topic and had some LEDs layn around so I decided to mod my mouse.


Its pretty easy. One side note, it dose reduce tracking a wee bit. I dont know the mcd rating on the old LED but if you do know the rating use an LED that has one colse to it. I'm prolly gonna change mine soon. I was just board.

Here's my pseudo-completed watch case mod;



( http://img87.exs.cx/img87/9431/watchcase12ur.jpg )



( http://img87.exs.cx/img87/1994/watchcase31xd.jpg )
can be turned on from controller port 1 (yellow wire mod).

dimensions:
2.5" h x 13" long x 8" w

still some issues to hammer out; you can turn it on if you push down on it, and I want to redo the front to feature some sort of logo... It took appx 2 weeks to finish. There's a thread in this forum if you want pictures of the guts.

lmk what you guys think :-D

pics dont work
i also found another orange LED around the house and changed my boring green LED on my computer speakers to orange

it works for me, imageshack is kinda quirky, click the links instead of the pictures, see if that helps.

cant get it to work, even tried pasteing the URL

XtuRmN8r i like the case it looks cool

Thanks, buddy!
I made the sig myself, including the background pic *bragging bastard* =).
Love your box.
The top looks awesome.



I would like to see my second one too =).
I'm trying to get hold of a new case so i can get started on something new.
It's kinda hard to be unique though.

hi guys,

not sure if you already seen this. but i thought id post it as some probably havent.
this is absolutely amazing, all of bens mods are.
he has so much skill.

take a look at the stealth this has, its amazing. AWESOME

Ben999 xbox conversion

he also has a few great tuts, one on led ring's. NEAT'o

Indeed. He had some great mods there ...and some really great tutorials!
I'm personally no big fan of those PC case/xbox--mods. For me it becomes something else then a mod when you totally abandon the xbox-case.
But that guy's really skilled and the box looks great.

You know, I would be posting a picture of my xbox with a clear case with two hard drives, leds in the controller ports, a usb port in the front, cold cathodes under the jewel and fan........

BUT

I fucking stepped on the clear case while it was off, breaking it completely, the usb port fell apart (pins are still there, but they will break if I don't do something), cold cahtodes haven't arrived, and my dual hard drives randomly don't load (ide cables touching stuff inside?)

And I only got two of my friends to come to my birthday lan party today.

Fucking great. Clear cases are $35, shipped.

That sucks, well better luck next time

those are some hot boxes my man

Haven't seen Ben in awhile. I loved his PC conversion.

just finished this mod, and decided to take pics while doing it. now here's the post.

not sure how long I'll have this web server up.

clean usb ports, i like them

nice job on the usb ports

Wow those are pretty nice. But what exactly is the USB port mod for?

That buzz-saw mod is f'n awesome!!!! Also, I like that usb port mod you did. Very professional looking. If I'm not mistaken, the only time you use usb is for linux right?

some apps and dashboards also support usb (ex. ava & XBMC).

PFG my friend!!

thanks guys, I apreciate the positive feedback, since this was my first documented mod, I'll probobly do more.....

Next on the list is an intergrated s-video port and coaxle audio port. of course it's going to be set up with break-away plugs, so i can remove the ports or the motherboard without having to break out the soldering iron.

Also I've been looking for a method of installing a VGA connection so I can connect a VGA monitor, but this xbox is a 1.6, and there really isn't much info on the xcalibur video chipset. An of course I'm not willing to fork out $50+ for a pre-made cable...lol

wtf is PFG, use some real words !
n00bie

it means pretty f*** good.

if you didn't know it, who was the "n00bie" then?

anyway, rest in peace! and get back to topic.

This is a fast custom job I did for a friend, in the pics it shows up blue but it's actually black light purple.

hey i know this is not much but its just a couple of pics to show what im doing currently, I found a spare case lid and i thought why not, so i attacked it with 2000gritt sand paper for 2hours and then prep wash now here it is in a few light coats of primer soon to be chrome, maybe 2morrow will be chrome lol



Kindest Regards
HoZy

Oh well because of the old case and my lazyness to use a lil putty/bog u can see some indentations but shit happens, spare lid n shit i don't care

regards
HoZy

ya chrome is EXTREMELY hard to work with..it has that "never dry" consistancy and it continues to be a pain the rest of its life

@ Mr.Sci-Fi

Nice! I like the way you covered up the hd and stuff.

Clean

This is a box I did for someone else, just for fun. They wanted something different than the original black/green and I was glad to oblige. Did it all in one day, not a slow, proffesional job, but fun to do!

I have since painted the jewel white to match, I may post that pic late--just something for ya'll to look at.

^^^^ pics dont work for me

sorry about that guys--changed the names and forgot to update xbs.

nice, but whats with the dvd drive, its like, inwards too much

really nice..one of the very few white xboxs i like..im just wondering is the back of the jewel a mirror or am i just blind and its seethrough

nice xbox, but whats with everyone always using blue ? but the white does look nice

yes I agree every one uses blue I am doing like the same thing but with all UV led's its gonna be sweet >>I'm cutting a batman window (it's the bat symbol for the dvd window) and clear jewel,with led's behind it, Underglow at the front,side vents, controller ports..

I will post pics when finished

Brahm2: Love the XBox in white, looks sweet. Just curious, why didn't you also paint the front of the optical drive to match the case?

nice boxes guys why doesnt someone do a white box with red or green just do do somthin different

white boxes look good with any color leds

Indeed.

@brojimh... Very nice.

The white box looks great, brojimh.
White is probably the worst paint to work with, but that looks like a good clean paintjob.

Finally: I neeed that white controller ...so give it to me.

the white xbox looks good but there is one little bubble on to the left above of the eject button and under the dvd tray.

I don't know what the deal is with that, when he gave it to me it was already like that--before I even took it apart.
I don't know if he tried to take it apart or what?!?

Thanks!
It is a jewel that I cleared. After I took those pics I took the jewel back off and painted it white to match the box--looks good. I'll try to get a pic of that up soon.

Thanks man.

That controller was an afterthought. I had paint left and really didn't know what to do with it so I just painted his one controller to match. He loved it and I kinda like it too.

thanks.

the little flick above the eject button happened when someone used a pocket knife to try and get the dvd bezel to come flush with the case.

I don't see anything wrong under the dvd bezel though?!?

you just did 4 posts in a row with each 3 minutes apart???there is an edit button and you can push the quote more than once stupidhead

i was just saying where the "bubble" is. (its under the dvd tray and to the left above the eject button) just the 1 that i can see

I just completely finished my first xbox ever! First time solder job and everything. I had some incomplete pics posted about a month ago, but here is the finished product. All-in-all, I say it went well and I'm pretty pleased with it.

Here are the features:
V1.0 console, X2.6ce modchip with Evox M8+ bios, 120GB Seagate Barracuda HDD, Evox/Avalaunch dashboards, Arctic Silver 5 thermal upgrade, 7v or 12v fan speed selector switch, controller on/off button, DVD window, Frosted jewel, Red Cold cathode with external Power switch, controller port led's (2 8000mcd led's in each port), and a Paintjob.

Xbox off with a new paintjob

Rear panel showing cold cathode switch, Fan 7v or 12v switch, and a spare on/oof switch that is for a lighting mod someday in the future. Maybe some ELwire???

What do you guys think. Is there any suggestions a for ?

You used the word "stupidhead" in a post and accused ME of being stupid???

Anyway:

Before with clear jewel:

After with white jewel:

same paint job just different lighting.

are you making fun of me for saying "stupidhead"? lame
