I thought i remember seeing someone make a xbox case out of wood. I tried to searching for it on the forums and looked through the xbox gallery but couldn't find it. If anyone knows where it is at it would be helpful. I am going to try and make an xbox case out of wood this, time just kinda wanted to see how they did theres.

i remeber seeing a computer case made out of card board, and the person had complet instronctions, it was wicked sweet all lit up

ya one of the guys on tech tv did that it looked pretty sweet. but i wanted to make mine out of wood and i remember seeing it somewhere. I just it wasn't on this site though because no one knows about it. I will just have to keep looking.

Yoshi, the guy from TechTV, did both a carboard and a wood pc case.

You can find both of them in the Complete Projects section of his forums located here.

i can't find the wood one in there i see the cardboard one. That is the one that i seen on techtv and it is pretty cool. I might try that for an xbox case but i would rather do a wood one because i have to take my xbox back and forth from my parents house. Divorced.

Ok i found the pic that i had seen it was in the gallery i guess i didn't look hard enought the first time. Thanks for all you guys help. I should have pics up of mind in a week or so.

Wood's pretty easy to work with. I've done a couple of wood xbox cases for friends so if you need any tips let me know. I don't have any pictures but I'm planning on building two more for myself in the near future.

If you're going for furniture-quality and stain it, spend the money on high-quality wood.

Samstag thanks for the info i was planning on using pine but i don't no if i am going to or not. I am planning on going ot homedepot or lowes tomorrow to pick up my material. I don't really want a furniture quailty wood but i do want something that will look nice.

Pine will look pretty nice if you pre-stain it before staining.. Lowes usually also has some nice red oak that looks good and is very sturdy stuff.

The thing is with red oak isn't that expensive i kinda want to keep the price down. Plus if i use pine i think i am just going to use a clear stain. Cause i don't want it too like that much like a furnture piece.
