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.

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

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.

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.
