Well kind off. I've just not had enough time to finish this project. It's been an off and on thing for about that long.

I finally got some extra help here and we finally got down to finishing off this project.

I hope your don't get tired of seeing what projects we do. We really enjoy modding and creating stuff.

The plus side is once we finish a project we get to share with all of you. Modding is not just my job it's my and our hobby.

Anyways here are few pics of our creation. We will starting adding it to our line up of products this weekend.

Sorry for any spelling errors, it's 2:30am here!

Very clean look...

don't seem like there will be any heat issues at all!

sweet!~

That's awesome looking. Is that a Halo 2 fan grill on the top of it? Are you guys going to make custom grills now for those?

how come it looks taller than 5 inchs ? can you take a pic with a xbox right beside it . will you take post office money order ?

i like it...but probably just a bit bigger than what i would like

yeh i like, just a bit to big for me aswell.
over 15cm high, wont fit in my cabinet

Not been around for AGES, but this was a nice and damn cool thing to see upon my return.

Cheers.....Q

Looks good,

seems a big large for my taste but would okay for that spare TSOP'd 1.0 mobo I have lying around.....



oh and KiemRaekerm, "I need more cowbell!, just play the HELL out of that cowbell!"

i like it, good alternative to the other acrylic/plexiglass case out there (sorry, dont remember the name). wont get one myself, not much on the totaly clear look, but ill recomend it to my freinds

The link isnt working for me....

on sale for the great price of around 80 dollasr? usually about 100 dollars? ur out of ur mind, i think its ugly as shit, big as hell, and expensive as hell - never would i buy that

^^^ wow, whats up your ass today? You dont like it, then bugger off! Nobody needs your blessing...you can go stroke your ugly typical chrome xbox, hopefully that will calm you down.

Its a nice product, and it looks very well done, hope it sells well

Looks cool, sounds fair for a price...

Anyone who thinks the price is high, try making that yourself for $65. It won't be as good and you will probably spend more... (Of course there are the select few on this site that could take a milk jug and make a bad ass acrylic case, but my comment is for the masses)

looks nice great for cooling

If i am seeing in the picture right the controller ports look upside down. And i just tested to see if you can plug ur controller in when it is upside down and you can't you have to flip the dongle around so hopefully i am seeing wrong because if you do the dongle mod like i did you won't even be able to see it light up it will just shine to the ground. but other than that i kinda like it Good work.

sweet case planning on getting it. does it come with a fan grill of your choice?

Ya but i am wondering if those controller ports in that pic are really upside down cause that would really throw alot of people off

Case looks clean but yes the controller ports are upside down, not somthing I like. Also this case wont fit all xbox dvds, like the philips. Also wont the HD get alittle hot down there with no airflow? This case isnt for me.

Thanks for the response it has helped me a lot I know our design can't please everyone one, but we are going to make a few final mods based on your thoughts.

We will be doing those basic changes today.

Yes ,the grills will be available!

cool but a little bit but congrats

Like it all except the Power/Eject. It just doesn't look clean and what holds it in?

Anyway I like it and will probably have to get one to go with my Xpod and the Xi-Fi when it's done.

And I dare any of you to build a case and sell it for less than 70 and make a profit.

I don't like it. Xpod looks way better, and is cheaper.

(I'm currently incognito. I contributed a lot to the original xpod review thread, but I recently got a temp ban )

First off, hats off to you for stepping into the case replacement arena. I'm sure a lot of effort and planning went into this.

I'm intrigued. The motherboard-on-top design is definitely different; it leaves a whole lot of room at the top of the front panel of the case, perhaps to mount a HIP or other LCD screen. On the downside, it obscures any DVD "see-thru" mods that may be made.

Speaking about DVD's, have you accounted for mounting the philips DVD drive with the hump at the bottom?

The 120mm fan on top is a bold move; maybe you can consider fabricating a custom 120mm grill that still allows you to mount a "standard" sized xbox jewel in the middle of it?

I'd like to see some kind of accomodations for airflow around the HDD drive(s), even if it's just a front/side/rear vent. (Maybe there is some venting on the side and I just can't discern it from the photos).

The lack of corner cubes and those long bolts have me a concerned about how rigid the case will be.

Can the individual side panels be removed?

Definitely looking forward to seeing some more in-depth pictures!

i am definatly interested in this product, but have afew questions.

1: how solid is the case? i see you say that its made from pretty solid acrylic, but im no engineer in comparison to the xpod, it doesnt look as sturdy (being screwed together, etc), but i could be wrong!

2: is there ample ventilation to the underside of the mobo? i dont feel comfortable having alot of stagnant air beneath my components.

3: when will the smoke cases be available again? they look great!!!

4: how much is the shipping for this, and what service do you use (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc).

thanks alot!

edit- answered a question on my own

hey,

i like it.that all i have to say. i like it lot

very nice but to expensive, maybe it will go down by the time i get a credit card

Pretty nice but very plain>>> And yeah the price is a bit steep but in his defense acrylic can be pricey, Definetely if I were to mass produce it I would give it a bit of personality not so "clear box only" The shape and style has been done before. But as for cost clear PC cases still run $80 - $100 ish so it is in line. I just dont care for the standard shape as the others, make it stand apart like "holy crap what is that"
