Well, you can check out some cases I did on my case modding gallery... I wish we had one here to thow some cases on...hint hint forahobby..hint hint..lol.
There are all kinds of things you can do to the case. I think still though, if you aren't getting a painted case I like a lot of skins out there. As far as lighting mods goes I like El Wire the best, and then controller port and eject LED mods.
If you want something done and you are not wanting to do the work yourself I am for hire I have done many case mods. I dont personally do my painting, but I use the most professional service that I have seen so far. The only downfall with using this service is time frame. They are slow to get the cases back, but amazing things come to those who wait.
If you want me to do something for you, I can have it all done in one day. Just have to give me a heads up so I have all the product here. If you want something super custom, and want to wow all your friends I suggest a solid color skin, El Wire Mod (thats where the top case gets the X outlined with that neon wire light), Controller port LEDs and Eject LEDs.
Something like that will probably cost about $105.00 including return shipping but you wont recognize your Xbox.
Keep in mind, that is a lot of work.
You have a 10 LED Jewel Ring
Clear Acrylic Jewel
A hole has to be cut in the top of your case
Controller ports removed and 8 super bright LEDs are installed
The Eject board is removed and 4 LEDs installed. 2 for primary color, 2 for Error color
El Wire is installed. This is a tedious but very cool mod.
And of course a Vinyl Skin is applied that gives your machine a painted look without the paint.
I also remove the RF Shielding and wash the case top in mild soap prior to doing all of this. Those grooves get so much dirt in them.
If you were to do this yourself, you could probably get away with about $80.00-90.00 for all the product.
El Wire $15.00 shipped
Skin $20.00 shipped
Jewel - Clear your own, or buy one custom $25.00 shipped.
LED modded controller ports $24.00 -$30.00
Eject board with LED Mod - 33.00 shipped
Now, if you just order LEDs you can do your own ports and eject board and save 45.00 or so.
Hopefully that will give you a good direction to start off with.
Later man.
