These guys are 5 mins away from me!!! I'm gonna check them out this week and see what they charge.

Speaking of which, where can I get an extra xbox case???

Ask, and ye shall receive. Here's how it's done:

With regards to buying another case, I think you can purchase Xbox cases from www.llamma.com

if you would be so kind to ship that over to my house just so I can look at it that would be great. wink.gif

Looks amazing, wish I had one.
Wild_Fire

Was the box Xhromed everywhere?

Inside?

Was the Box Chromed in pieces or as a whole?

Did you get the DVD door Chromed too?

Any other pic's?

How bout a link and phonenumber to the place that did it for you?

Who did the clear coat? U? Them?

Were the on and off buttons Chromed too?

Is that $70.00 American or canadian?

Thanks,
{DEMON}

Geez thats a lot of Questions! Only the outside was chromed but the inside is a dull metal color. No i didnt have the dvd drive when it was chromed. No other pics theres already like 20 smile.gif . Ill do it for you biggrin.gif . They clear coated it, i sanded it fixed the inperfections and cleared it again so its good. Thats 70.00 US dollars (im in america, Washington not to far from the boarder)

Was the BOx Chromed as one large Box?

Or was it taken apart and Chromed in pieces?

Im curious if the Chrome is Everywhere or if there are parts that stick out here and there that were not chromed?

Also i didn't mean the dvd drive, I ment the DVD Draw DOOR. The part that says XBOX on it. I assume that was not chromed or it was?

Thanks,

{demon}.

PS: i only saw like 8 pictures not 20.

LOL Thanks again, Great box!

I called that one chrome place that guy gave the link to and its $75 for the top part front part and DVD bezel.

And demon it was chromed i parts, the chrome is on everything you see when the case is together. The dvd bezel with the xbox letters on it is NOT chromed, i didnt have it at the time of sending the case.

Thats not bad.. 75 bucks. Maybe they would do a better job that the place you want to.. WHo know.. It would be good if different people tried different chroming places, that way we can find the place that does the best job for the resonable amount. If he quoted you $75 for the front, top and dvd bezel, then the bottom (the only other part left would probibly be like $30 more) Insert Shipping both ways and your looking at like $120 - $130.. which is what it cost you about with GAS ans driving and chroming from the other place.

I email them too....

I cannot wait for custom Xbox to get their chrome cases.. I need one asap.

I also want to buy a few cases from lamma.com and chrome them all, And i want to do them all in differnt colors.. Blackchrome, Redchrome, Bluechrome, Ect... Would be kinda kewl to have a few different chrome skins to to swap my Xbox in and out of.. Techniclly, you would only have to replace the MB and DVD and HDD each time you wanted to swap cause the Cases from LLAMMA loaded come with everything else.

I will get back to you all when i find something more.

Or wildfire should we just go with your Place?

Any other chroming places in NY say or on the east cost any of you can find, get quotes from and try out.

Wild_Fire
Yeah i really want to do a blue one but it was like $90 rolleyes.gif
{{DEMON}}

I think i can blow $90.00 bucks on that.. I just need to wait till next paycheck..


Thansk,

Hey dude, where in Canada is this place? Or at least where in the US do you live so people who live by you can maybe have this shit done? It looks like this is gonna be the talk of the next few days/weeks! lol
Wild_Fire
Its some place right above washington, im not sure what the exacted name of it is at the moment. Yeah i surprised everyone likes it so much!
Rush346
That is awesome! I like the jewel in the 2nd pic the best.

Nice work. Looks great. I'd get some more made and put them on eBay or some thing.

Can't say much for that Nissan emblem on it though, kind of an insult to an American console. Would look a lot nicer with Corvette emblem in there. Like one off a value cover maybe. Or even a nice BMW hood ornament, even though its German its still better than any rice burner emblem.
sega27
Now I know what im gona do if I mess up my case... Bling bling man.

Anyone else notice how Wild_Fire hasn't posted the name of the place that did his cases? It's been a few days and he "can't remember the name". But, give him $130 and he'll have it done for you. LOL. Can't blame him for wanting to make a buck or two though tongue.gif

Nah... Harley-Davidson for sure. Would fit in perfect with the chrome. And there are a TON of domed metal emblems with the HD logo on them which go on fuel caps, valve covers, etc. I've got one in a drawer somewhere with red/wht/blue, and a star, which would work perfect.

[edit] Plus, it's an excuse to shop around in the Harley shop again...

Now there is an idea an Harley Davidson would be bitchin i should get one from my dad or the weasels biker group hes in would be pretty bitchin too
rms2001
You know Perplexer I was thinking that very same thing a few weeks ago. My dad is really in to HDs. Hes got a '98 XL Custom, 1200cc I got him for a good price. Last year. Has it rode it in awhile since it been so cold here. Its snowing as I'm typing this.

I'd thought of picking up an XBox and painting it the HD orange and black with a nice chrome emblem where the XBox logo is. I don't know what I'd do with it though. Give it to my dad? Sure, he'd only plays Tetris with it though.

LOL sell it to the local HD shop? I don't think they could sell it though... Don't know.
