Welcome to the forums!

Looks very nice, very sleek. Does any air get sucked in through the Xbox jewel on top, or is the fan guard just for looks? Looks very nice either way, great job!

[peoplefire]

its just for looks. we added a 80mm fan to the back :] and ima add some leds to the controller ports and maybe a mini fan to the GPU

[Drum Thumper]

Looks very cool. I love the console mods.

+rep!

[peoplefire]

:] i got rep.

we have just decided we are gonna soft mod it also and give it a matching theme to the menus of the xbox and such :]. i will keep you updated on everything as it unfolds.

[jdbnsn]

I like your mod, looks cool! As for the "soft mods", we don't allow this to be shown on these forums. But we love hardware mods! Welcome to TBCS BTW.

[xRyokenx]

Little insight on mods from what I know, soft mods are software, hard mods are a chip. That's all I'ma say, as I don't know the standings on all that.

Looks pretty cool there, can't wait to see how it turns out. That and Weclome to TBCS!

Well I suppose this might be the best palce for me to introduce myself since I helped peoplefire on the mod =P. And I have to give props to him becuase he kinda led me through it since it was my 1st mod. Stay tuned for more from us =P.

I have an old xbox lying around collecting dust, maybe I'll get some inspiration from your projects to do something with it. :)

White xbox's ftw. I painted mine last summer with Krylon White Plastic Paint.. turned out soooo nice. :)

I also dremeled out the rear and side vents a bit to allow more airflow, modded the fan to run 12v instead of 7v (more airflow.. but noisier), and *shhhh* softmodded it too. Oh, then I added an 80gb hdd. :D

Maybe I should watercool it... silent xbox.. hmmm....

[peoplefire]

12v mod was nice. thats how the 80mm fan is working :]

[Andr0m3da]

Peoplefire..i got us controller ports..incase you see this before I get a chance to talk to you. Their baby jakes haha.

[.Maleficus.]

Yeah man, white Xboxs FTW. I have mine painted white and red. Maybe I'll post pics sometime. Or maybe not. We'll see.

[Andr0m3da]

I think you should post some pix I'd like to see how you did the paint job.

[peoplefire]

Edit: Here you go. (http://thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8910)

Edit 2: Forgot to comment yours *duhhh*. Very nice looking. I like the shape of the window you have too. What did you use to cut it? And did you just completely remove the metal backing, or cut that to?

[peoplefire]

did away with the metal :P

and i used a dremel :D

[Andr0m3da]

Well I would just ask you this privately but I figure since this is a thread about the project then it might just be public=P. But what else did you get for it?

[Spawn-Inc]

nice modding, though i hate the xbox (not yours xcbox in general). but i do like the 360. i say go for putting some led's in the controller like you said. and maybe even in the controller ports too.

[peoplefire]

some sweet ass wire for the controller port LEDS and some random parts to dress up the window area a bit :]

[Andr0m3da]

Sounds good I'll try 2 run over 2 jakes house tomorrow to get the ports and we can get started on dustins 360 =P

[peoplefire]

iight. that would be cool
