I haven't really done case mods ever. But I'm willing to try. I don't have big bucks for those led screens and all that, but I hope you'll like what I can do with what I have

I hope they like it even a little. The main feature that I haven't seen so far in an xbox I'm going to try to keep underwraps, which in itself is most of the mod..Lol I might tell 1 person or so just so I can get some info on what will happen (Worried about one thing) I just need to find a way to wire/mount it all in there, lol.

Well, my main problem here will be mounting..and finding space. I already have one part of it ready, I just need to wait until tomorrow when I get dremel bits and a tiny tiny drill bit, lol. then its all plug-N-play, hopefully. I might need to get some small, tiny wire. like 24-32 gauge, anyone know any good places I could find a small ammount?

Got some new pics, and I guess the cat will be outta' the bag on this one. I have no controller ports, lol.
With a 300gig maxtor in it now, Its coming together nicely!
I just need to do a little more sanding on the faceplate then I can begin working on the Top cover.
P.S. if anyone would like to know how I made my xbox into a wireless controller brodcast station (lol) then I'll post it here, just gotta' ask (Its pretty easy to do)

looking nice. I was wondering what that white sand stuff was, but you said it's the clear coat. I like the black and red colors divided like that in the back. Can't wait to see the controller setup... _________________

Yeah, I've got a sony cybershot, and had the flash on outside @_@ so the shine is like, even more ultra than normal, lol. I can't see the shine really at all without light like that (the white part of the shine atleast) I was a little hesitant when it comes to the controller, not sure if I have to take it apart of what..
Eh, I just decided to take it apart, hopefully I can get it back together. And I had a problem with the faceplate, when it came to too many coats on it. so I tried sanding it down and it turned to shit, lol So I'm just going to use the other faceplate I have and start over from scratch I'll post pictures of the pain in a little..(I primed over it in hopes to fix it but right now All I have is some 80 grit and I wanna' get this project finished

Hey, I put the pics on a website again because theres 5.
From this you can see what that clear coat really does, and I guess he was right, it does leave a little bit of spots on it, oh well, it looks real nice Working on the second controller but the paint doesn't really want to seem to stick to it, so I'll have to sand some, Oh well, lol. Until my next update, See ya then.
Ps: Let me know w0t you think so far http://free.hostultra.com/~ydoj00h8me/xbox/controller.html

Well guys, looks like I'm done here, for now.
I hooked it up with XBMC and all that. The only thing I haven't done is clearcoat the faceplate, but I wanted to show the difference that clearcoat makes (What with that white in the picture n all) So I took a few, and one with no flash at all, tell me what you think

I wonder why your digi cam picks up the clear coat like that...It looks really smooth and clean in the front. Nice work on the panel.
How many controllers did you integrate? Is there a place to plug non-wireless controllers? Any plans for some leds? Are you still needing some red ones?? Let me know. Willing to part with some.
Make sure you load a pick into the "my setup" area of your profile. Good job on the box, later _________________

I put two controllers in there. Different make so they don't cross signal. I never really play more than 1 player anyways, but just incase. There is no place to plug in non-wireless controllers, but I've been thinking about doing it. On the bottom edge of the faceplate, where the holes are, just splicing the1st player controller wires, and putting a plugin there, so you don't see it but it still works. I'm not sure as of this moment. I don't have a jewel yet, I have one on my other xbox I need to try and clean up after I get it off. Kinda hesitant on cutting the top of the box off still, but I could prolly use some red LED lights for the side vents so that when its in the little cupboard hole in my entertainment center, it will shine nice at night. The white climmer is actually, I think, tiny little pieces of sparkles...You know, the see through ones, from the top you can't see them really much, until you look at it on an angle, and if you shine a light on it (such as a flash) its very bright, like in the pictures. I kinda like that part for some reason. I'd like to get some LEDs for it, but I'm kinda short on cash after two cans of red, one of black, two of clear (9 a piece for clear). Yanno, lol. This xbox has almost reached its spending limit for me
