this here is my first case mod.






front



top





back

I still have to install the xerc. i also bought about 30 yellow leds, but i havnt added them because i cant really decide on where to put them

LMAO! That's sweet. LOL! But you need to clean it up a lil bit, sand it down, bondo it and add some Candy on there. (Paint) Nice idea man.

Yeah, definitely clean up the cuts, and fill the gaps. I think it'll look pretty pimpin. I'd say get rid of the xbox bezel and put a normal flat bezel on there. Give it a nice smooth flush look. Could even wire up the rec level knob as a fan speed controller.

shotguns at close range do not make a good substitute for a dremel.. neither do teeth.


lol.. but for reals, clean up them cuts son! good start, but she's got more potential than you're giving her

You know what unnownwanderer057, by lookin at this again, Im really motivated to try any kind of case. Like putting the Xbox inside of anything. Thanks for inspiring me. Just make sure you clean that up, and paint it.

Thanks everybody for the compliments. yea i really need to bondo and redo the dvd drive, and put a different dvd bezel.

As for painting i really want to, but just the top cover. it will be too hard to redo the letters and the writing on the front panel.

If anyone has any ideas fell free to shoot them over this way

thanks

Looks like you have two nice little windows where the tapes used to go, i'd slap in some sound reactice cold cathodes, that'd look good.

Or you could turn them into glowing green eyes, GRRRRRRRRR.

A unnownwanderer057, I gotta thought that just came up. How wide is that Tape player, cause I wanna know how is that Mobo fittin' in there?

Looking good, but yeah just like the other said it needs a clean and maybe a pimping paint job , and maybe a fan cover for the back because you dont want any pets putting there head in there

ghetto!

Great concept, but it needs some cleaning on your cuts.. Bondo is cheap and your best friend.. Id make my own DVD bezel out of a PC optical drive or a dead DVD player drive..

As far as painting, yes it needs a paint job.. Id do either a satin black or a semi gloss black personally.. ANd you CAN redo lettering on it.. You just need some vinyl lettering.. I've seen it in sizes as small as 2 pt. font (As your PC would print it)..

I think it would be cool if it would still play tapes, lol.. But thats just me!

Is it possible to use any of those buttons to control your box? Like the stock power buttons to turn it on, etc?

Lol it's clunky...WIP/Innards pictures pls.

Thanks again for the comments and ideas.

first off the dimensions for the case is 15.5 in long 9.75 in wide and 4.25 in high (without the feet
)
the motherboard actually almost fit in there perfectly. i just had to trim a little at the door hinge things to make it fit.

As far as the buttons go the only ones that work are the rewind (which is for power), fast forward( dvd eject) and two of the switches. i had to cut up the boards to fit the dvd drive in.

Also i like the idea of the cold cathodes. i think i will cause it sounds easier then leds.

Oh, you got skills. LOL!

not really.

Its been a while since my last post. Recently decided to work on it more. so heres some pics. Sorry for the messed up pics. Most of the dents are not there. its the camera











things to do:

redo the dvd drive
repaint the front
add lights
add pulse uv


Let me know what you think. Thanks

Thats sweet man, Like the others said clean up the cuts and a few other things and that thing will be awesome. Much props for a great start.

EDIT: The bondo is a good start, It could be cleaned up a lot more though. Lots of dips in there.

yea i am. its not as bad as it looks. the camera and the lighting makes it look worse

unnownwanderer057 i think its great dude.

i like the slightly busted look,imo i would go all the way and put loads of bondo on it and crack it out put dents in it .Give it a totally trashed pranged look or use bondo and fill it to look like its carved out of stone ,spray it up like granite

go on smash the bastard up
