Hey all, I just finished a mod for one of our members. I won't mention any names, as I'll let him brag about ownership on his own. I just thought it was a great looking combo, so I thought I'd share. However, I almost held it for ransom I wanted it so badly!!

Inside, it is a 1.0 Version which initially threw me off because all MB's have this little spot near the back that you can use to power up all your LED's or anything else you want to power up. However, when you have a 1.0 then that means you have an additional cooling fan, and unfortunately, the cooling fan takes the spot. Thanks to xboxhacker_uk for the idea of tapping into a molex connector that powers off of the HD. I installed a Y Adapter and powered off of one of those, leaving another open Molex connector for future upgrades. The chip installed is a Xenium Ice flashed with the Xecuter2 4983.67 bios. A Seagate 160GB HD is rounding out the Hardware.

Along with over 7000 roms, about 10 Xbox games, XMEN Movie, and over 200 MP3's, he has something to do when he firsts fires it up..hehehe.

Case mod; removed the green Jewel and replaced with a Clear Xenium Ice Jewel, very nice etching. Then, a 8 Blue LED Jewel Ring is connected directly under the clear jewel and powered by the Y adapter molex connector. Very nice product from CustomXbox.net, wish their site wasn't down!! Keeping in the blue spirit take a look at the Power Button LED. Tore down the entire machine and removed the front panel to gain access to the Eject/Power board and replaced with a brand new one that has Blue and White LED's....SWEET.

Of course he rounded it off nice by already having that beautiful brushed skin from decalgirl. Man, this sounds like a prize on the Price Is Right...HA.

Well, check it out...very nice...great color combo. Kudos to the member for making all the right choices. Only extra thing needed is blue LED's in the controller ports...that would be great!

I forgot to post lol. Anyways Im jealous, that is one sweet Xbox. I mean I love my Halo Xbox, but that one is just unique. The LEDs in the controller ports are going to make it really unique. Nice work on this one realmccloy. ttyl guys.

Yeah, I like it. When and if I ever get a hold of your machine again a clear halo jewel lit up green with green controller ports would be a thing of beauty!!

Take it easy man, hope all is well down your way! I know you guys are getting hit...just hope all is okay soon.

later man

Would the jewel be flat? I mean like the one that the box has is kinda smooth and rounded on the top ya know? Could I find a Halo one like that? Because I have a Halo one now but it is flat and I dont really like it. If not I would just have the jewel cleared and lit up...and the controller ports. I may do that soon lol.

http://xpsmods.com/xboxlights.html

I found this site while searching around....some pretty nice stuff. Its has PS2 stuff too

I would be interested in the green rods....would that be possible? Also Id have to figure out how to change the Xenium chip color when running to green. In order for it all to match. That would be one mod that most would truly envy. ttyl. You would have to take pics....or I could even do that lol.

hey realmccloy,

That looks hot mate.. Good work..!
Probably wouldnt be a bad idea to ADD LINKS to each store where you bought your stuff.. So others know where you bought your parts from.

Did you guys notice my xobx on the left of this post (MY AVATAR)?
My xbox has the following.

- 4 x Orange Game Ports
- 1 x Dead or Alive Volleyball Skin
- HDD Activity mod.. Glows ORANGE WHEN READING HDD and Green when not active.

I have a XBOX-HQ Jewel custom etched here too which im going to put in it and a orange neon under the hood.. I just dont have the time to do it.. GOD DAMN IT..

Anyway, ill try and find another sample XBOX-HQ jewel that i had made up.. I only got 2-3 of them.. I think one was VIP Member jewel and other was juts plain..

Keep at it REALMCCLOY.. I cant wait till your shop opens.. Our members will love you..

anyway, better get back to the LAB!

cya's

oh.. Slamscaper.. Take care in that Storm mate..

Hey Slam, yeah, all the ones that I have found have been flat. But, they look sweet on. It's (the flatness) not real noticable when LED's are on or off. The green tube things would be cathodes. They make them almost the exact length of the xbox...sweet eh? Trust me, have been thinking about that one for sure. It is very possible.

What I like about the premade jewels are the extra lip they give you. The one that I take out has no lip. I mean, it's possible, just have to cut slightly smaller. I do that by hand with a rotozip anyway. Instead of using a presized attachment for a drill. I just like to be more safe than sorry. Oh man, I couldn't imagine the feeling of cutting a hole in someones case and putting the jewel in only to have it fall through..HA. Embarassed Plus the stock one has to be sanded down and polished...easily screwed up. I will see if I can make one for you and send it to you so you can look at. That way you will know if you like better than your Halo one. If you end up wanting to get rid of that Halo one, let me know. I'll buy it from you.

Hey forahobby, I did mention that the parts were all from Customxbox.net, but I didn't make a true link. Will make sure I do that next time especially since it's one of our site sponsors!! I need more materials, but they are shut down for a few more days.

Your machine rocks mate! I saw that avatar, you need to make it animated for day and night....sweet! I have extra time, email me two pics and I'll make one for ya.. I think that's a great way for members to showcase their case mods until we get a gallery or something.

I tell you what I can do if you want, I can make a gallery for our members on my site too if you want. Will save some server space. Up to you. Also let me know if you still want autoinstallers hosted for FTP. I have cable connection at my home and wouldn't mind hosting as long as my resources didn't get zapped too badly. I am on my PC so much..HA.

later guys

You can have that jewel man, its has the Master Chief etched into it....the same thats on the Halo box art. It even has the marines and warthog in the background. Pretty sweet. Maybe I could send the box sometime with the moola(paypal of course) to do those extra mods? ttyl.
