Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:06 am Post subject: Thinking of case mod
Ive already ventured the softmod world now im wanting to do a case mod....
I have a second original xbox case to mod or
I was thinking of putting it into a mini pc case
What I want out of the deal is
1.Cooling
2. Visual effects
3.Functionality
4.Keeping the size small and portable(no big bulky pc case)
I would like to have some sort of Internal Cooling (liquid preferred)
Found some retractable RCA cables at local electronics store
Looking for retractable power cord
Also Looking into putting a Notebook HDD into it.
I need the XBDVD Drive to remain intact thought to play Dvd's and games....

I wanted to liquid cool too. but found it usually takes a custom bracket to hold the cooling block on, I've heard you can use the one for a Intel board but havent tried it.. as for the retractable rca cables. you can out the RCA sockets and keep the cables separate.. just an idea. notebook harddrive, would only come in handy if your going to make a slim box really. I have mine in a PC case and yes it is VERY bulky.. but i think its cool, and it attracts ALOT of attention. i would say cut some cool windows maybe a DVD drive window cut a little off the top of the dvd drive too and watch it spin.. thats pretty cool.. the combinations are endless.. _________________ (2) XBOX v1.4:
