a upside down pice of a coke can i cut, got a little crazy with the epoxy tho.
looks like a pice of crap. Tried to engrave flames into, heated the epoxy and had to do it again. So yeah, looks like a dog knawed on it.

Hi!
Two minor mods for today, and my xbox is near completion: a
lighted dongle and an
on/off switch.
There's nothing special about the led. For the on /off button, I used this kind of microswitch:

I glued a small circle cut out of a 3"1/2 floppy disk casing to have the same black, grainy texture of the gamepad

Controllersi panted the big controller silver and added 12 LEDS, wich to appear in sequence. (my english is not very good) that looks like the flubber on the xbox boot video (in blue)
the s-controller is not so spectacular

You need a server to host that image. You can go for a free/public server that has limited views per image like the post above recommends, or if you have broadband access (DSL, Cable, Fibre) you can set up a basic webserver - there is a release of apache for windows too... and just share the files that way.. where it will look like
http://68.12.45.225/pic.jpg. note that your ISP cannot block port 80 inbound for this to work unless you want to use some off port. Probably the easiest idea would be to just find a friend who has a server or sign up for a pay-image hosting site.
after that, its as simple as typing the URL to the image in [ img ] tags in BB Code.
I.E. >>
http://www.sniepre.com/images/xbox_4b.jpg is the photo URL
encased in BB Code IMG tags looks roughly like this
>> [ IMG ]
http://www.sniepre.com/images/xbox_4b.jpg [ / IMG]
minus the spaces, you get this >>>

and to make it a link to another page or a larger picture, add [ URL=http://www.sniepre.com/images/xbox_4.jpg ] tag before and [ / URL] after, again, without spaces looks like this >>>

Damn, I didn't know those buttons work for ON/OFF. I thought only the PUSH buttons worked. I'm going to try the on/off thing now since I took a board off of a junk VCR with like 30 of those!

If you have enough room on the controller (The duke does just fine, not sure about an S-type,) this part worked very well for me:
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...%5Fid=275%2D644this is how it came out on the controller :


I like how it looks on the plastic - the controller looks black in person - hard to see the green in it but the flash on my digicam seemed to bring the green out so you can see the difference in color - its not nearly as noticible in real life you have to look hard to see the green.
I just like having it on the top of the controller vs on the bottom because i know id hit it just resting the duke on my knee or something.
