well.. am working on my XBOX casemod.. making a compelte new case from 2mm thick aluminium.
Its not finished yet.. but here are my 2 cents:








the logo on top of the box took me over 8 hours and the front panel i had to make twice. because of this mistake:


the idea is to put another aluminium plate on the front, so that i only have a nice shiny border. There are only 2 controller ports on it, because the i only need 2 and if i buy more.. they're gonna be wireless

Wow that is very clean i like the top a lot

Flippin bright too man....Awesome, i hope you have a switch for that.

I like your chairs!

that arent chairs.. but tables. They can only take 10 kilograms. They are from Grolsch. That is the local beer brand and it became so big its worldwide nowadays, were kinda proud of that

well the dude where im gonna laser the front alu panel is sick.. so i'll have to wait ( bummer)

heh i like those chairs



jk

Here is my entertainment center friendly xbox.






It's not much, just a 1.6v xbox in a SilverStone Lascala case. Modchip is Xenium ICE, HD is 160GB maxtor. Mods are 6 inch LCD display, blue cold cathode lighting, hard-wired dvd dongle, hard-wired logitech wireless controller, and shortened-width of faceplate. Hardest parts were extending the wiring, making the LCD and controller port face plates fit, and mounting the DVD drive. Hope you like it.

One last mod pic, this is of my Logitech Precision wireless controller. You can't tell, but under the Logitech symbol is a button that allows me to turn my Xbox on and off.

you should make the green thing around that light up when the xbox turns on

Yikes, I'd probably mistake them for chairs and sit on them. They'd break and I'd feel like a dumbass.

k0ew...i love that glowing

Amazing...I am a sucker for thoes kind of conversions. I really like your lcd too, any chance you could take a close up of it? i have some suggestions for you, maybe some blue or white controller port leds, that would be really cool. Good job in general!

i find that a little to big for my tastes

here is what i did to my xbox. I got a xenium ice solder-less chip. I got a 200gb western digital harddrive. I upgraded my rear fan too a 80mm, new graphics processer fan to all my fans on my xbox, plus i put a old 80mm fan on top for a intake fan. I removed my dvd-drive and my hardrive which I put on top. I did that so my internal temp would be cooler. I only hook up my dvd-drive when i need to copy something. I run Xbox Media Center for my dashboard. It was the first time I did any on this so I know its kind of messy.

Let me just be the first to say messy doesn't begin to describe that. Why on earth did you destroy your xbox like that?

Only thing that looks good in your box is that GPU fan and the SPIce(nice choice).

Maybe you'll buy a replacement case?

saying it's messy is a little generous

I think you could have executed that much better. The case does look great but to be frank it looks like you just sat an entire xbox inside it. That's just cheap as hell.



I believe the word he is looking for is haggard.








Sorry that was kind of a hatin' post.

didnt u just graduated high school? seems like it cus you seem very wise with ur high knowledge of vocabulary

hey dude im only a sophmore in high school and no one talks like that in my high school unless their just messin around ok so he's probly some old guy tryin to be hip

i think i remember ben999 saying : "im in my senior year" thats why we havent seen him around. was getting ready for college or something

where do you live? i'm a freshman in alabamer

It is the opinion of myself that the vocabulary of which I forementioned was not entirely sophisticated or of a substantial degree difficulty for anyone attempting to comprehend. Also, my hiararchial status within the educational institution that I am attending is not of high importance in the deciphering of any messageboard discussions. Had I neglected to implement the proper forum etiquette then one could conjecture that a worthy chastisement would have ensued.


Seriously though, I didn't think it was any kind of hard vocabulary or anything.

i know what ur saying dude some of these people are pretty nit picky about what words you use

just another way to say welcome back

hey guys dont fight, who cares about spelling or words..... its a forum we talk about nothing... all day lol

and about that box bein messy it's not that bad ive seen way worse like mine was once now it's hott!!

i thought you couldnt put a power button on a wireless controller.....

I have one on mine, It's just if your controller recives the yellow wire signal or not, soem do, I don't know about that one

actually that should be "..of a substantial degree difficult.."






so neener

Not really anything I did special or custom, just bought the case and threw it all in, but thought it turned out pretty good anyways.


Sorry, a little blurry...


3 Blue Fans


Side:

You should put some more lights in it. Really make that thing glow

Yeah, it's still a "work in progress". Next I plan to do the controller ports and the power button, then maybe add some cold cathodes.

mad cats controllers

I have some tiny hands, so the s-controller doesn't really feel right either. Whatever works, right?

nice upside down controller ports

i dont think he cares

nice case i like the engraving you chose

punisher is ur signature real? like does i realy tell my ip and os because the os is dead acurate w/ the ex 5 also cause if it is id like the link 2 where u got it lol

http://www.danasoft.com has them

well here's a couple pics of my newest baby.. just finished her up about 2 hours ago. enjoy!










see the worklog in my sig..

fuckin cool man

wow, that is seriously the nicest xbox i have ever seen with an lcd screen in it.
looks great how you have the lcd behind where the front panel is. looks really good, and its a mini box aswell .

ports are professional looking.

just get some leds in that jewell and it would be complete.

kudos to you, thats perfect.
finally a decent looking xbox on the scene for a while nice!!!

EDIT: But where is your power on button

eject button has been rewired to be the new power button, and sanded smooth. once smoothed out i painted it and the inner controller ports a dark blue to match the lcd when it was turned off. it's all in the details..

i then cut off the power button and desoldered the switch from the pcb.. as soon as i get another dvd dongle the ir will be relocated right behind that hole.

AHHH I SEE, THATS GOING TO BE LOADED.
sorry bout the shouts

That's a really cool idea. I just wish your worklog pictures worked

heres my case. have a great day.







it looks better in the flesh!! haha

Wow that's really cool. Does it have some meaning? And what'd you use to do that paint job

heh.. i dont know! i didnt paint it

i bought it like that.. its not as flashy as some of the *amazing* boxes ive seen here.. but i love it!
the guy is gonna fit some leds too.. so il prob post more pics then..

ubernewb that xbox is awesome but i dont get how you use it without a dvd drive can you please explain it some more since i'm a dumbass.

everything is put on the hdd thru ftp.. this one will be mostly for storing my fav tv shows.

just waiting on a nice new humongous hdd so i can store them. at the moment they're scattered on 2 other boxes and my 2 pc's.. family guy, athf, robot chicken, initial d, futurama, grey's anatomy, csi, law and order svu, and damn near every mst3k ep..

just gotta save my pennies for a 300+gb hdd now.
