Here is my first and only case-mod so far.


Up and running.


Difference between original and mod.


Inside wiring.


Front USB and hdd-led.


Component and audio conectors soldered to motherboard, and the red and white switch to choose between RGB and COMPONENT video.


Well, thats it.

Hope there will be images, because its the first time i upload images.

Love the front USB, care to explain how you made it and put it into place?

Hi. The usb ports are from a crashed pc, it is attached to an aluminiun plate, simply fastened with scantech cyanofirm glue, witch attach almost every material, then black spray color.
The hardest bit was to get the hole in the plate to fit the usb ports (PATIENCE).

Then its simply soldered with gamepad contact.

Trying to clone the hdd to an 2.5 with chimp 2.4, but i dont seem to manage that.

That's a very clean slimbox you've done there. Very nice job sir.

Thank you Nextelhalo!

The hardest part in the whole project was to wire and solder all the cables to component video and the switch on to the motherboard

That i will never do again, beside someone gave me a sack of money!

Then its simply soldered with gamepad contact.

Hey man Great job, thats a good looking slim, I just completed my slimbox project how do I post pictures on here

Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide for this type of mod? I sure would like to try this myself.

Hallo updogg.

The only guides i used for this project, was for the wiring (pinout).

Beyond that, there is only yourself who sets the limits for your fantasy


Actually i have a plan to put the inside of the xbox in an empty white 360 case,

then my lovely modded case will be for sale.

So many people make these I thought there would be a guide.

Here is a good guide but there are some gaps in there. There used to be a great guide at the xbmc4xbox forums but it's being rebuilt right and I dont know if the old guide will ever surface again.

Nex

I thought i had already posted it here .

Slimbox Tut.

What size HDD is that? I would've cleaned up the wiring as much as possible to avoid any type of interference. Overall, I like it. Good work opeter.

80 Gig, but now its replaced with a 160 Gig 2.5 HDD. I cleaned up the wiring when i switched the hdd, and did have a plan to take a photo, but im really slow

What type of HDD is your 160GB? If possible, could you post updated pictures for us? Thanks.

Yes, i will do that, just going to Greece a couple of days, after that im gonna upload a photo.

Here is what the inside looks like after the HDD change, and some cleaning up.
Found it impossible to clone with shimp, so i took a backup of the F: partition,
and did a new install with AID on the new HDD.
