Project: Paradigm (Xbox 360 case mod)

[Luke122]

Definitely a good looking mod!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

So, I count 3 360's that I can see. Do you think you have enough? Why so many? Anyway, the project looks very cool. The only thing I would suggest doing is to lightly sand the tops of the LED's flat. It'll give them a more diffused look, and not so spotty. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the tip BTW

That looks great man!

One question, how do you get the Acrylic to mount flush with the HD casing? That has perplexied me for ages (Bad pun).

It's actually pretty simple. You need to cut the plexi SLIGHTLY smaller than the hole it's going to fit into, and then just force it in there

Update!!

Okay, this isn't much of an update, but i've got one or two things to share

A nice little package arrived from Honk Kong:

Included in this package were the following:

A set of Blue Talismoon rear fans:

Compared to the stock fans:

A new fan duct:

Compared to the stock fan duct:

Some LEDs:

(yes, i know, i could have made those myself. But i'm lazy, and they were cheap )

And lastly, the replacement cover for my DVD drive:

The bummer about the DVD drive cover is that it requires me to tear open my original cover for the little balancing goodie:

Which is then held in place with this:

I dunno if i'm gonna keep that piece though. I might make my own one...

Anyway, stock fan:

New fan:

Fan duct in place, and testing:

I then also wired up the new LEDs. All power from the bottom of the motherboard:

I ALSO changed the LEDs on the ROL, from green to blue:

I then threw it all together just for a quick test to see how it looks:

Tomorrow i'm gonna go get some paint. Can't wait to finish this baby

Final pics!!!

I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I was pushed to finish it towards the end and just didn't have the time or patience to do updates

A nice clear shot of the paintjob:

And the DVD ROM window:

The controller:

And of course, some shots of the lighting:

Let me know what you guys think!

Beautifully done.

What kind of plexi did you use for the console? Did you have any issues over it clearing the cpu heatsink?

[The boy 4rm oz]

That looks fantastic. I love the colour and the lighting scheme. Perfect match. The detail is amazing and looks like it came from the factory that way. +rep for the awesome work
