Xbox 360 Elite Carbon Fiber

The hurricane messed up my mail here We only get mail 3 days a week so missing one or 2 days is brutal. I received more supplies today. The only things left to get is the plexi and LEDs.

Before any of that. I finished poking all of the holes on the topside of the case. Took FOREVER. After doing about 10-15 my hand starts to cramp up so I have to take a break. But it does look pretty good.

Here is the the fan. It has Green LEDs.

"Xbox 360" U-Channel from MNPCTECH. I accidently got the smaller stuff for a PC case last time.

3m Clear tape from MNPCTECH. This was missing from my last order so Bill resent it.

Lets put the fan in.

Lots of extra cables... Guess I'll have to sleeve them but that will be next week when I get sleeving in for a comparison I'm doing.

I put the U-Channel on.

And finally, I put some of the 3m tape on the back.

Cheers till next time.

Got my plexi today!! I ordered 2 sheets of 1/16" and 1/8" because I didn't know what I would need.

After doing some test fits it was clear I needed to use the 1/16" think pelxi.

And the cutting began! I cut the large window first.

Installed... you can't really see it.

Now for the DVD window.

Cut and filed. I had to redo this window because I got glue on the first one.

Done!

When I made the second it was sitting too low so the disc couldn't spin. A bit of filing and I fixed it good.

Test run!
Off

On!

So far I think it looks good. If I get the LEDs this week then I can finish this up and get the final pics done.

Cheers till next time.

I finally got the LEDs in last week but I was having trouble installing them. I had to find the right combo of wires to get them to work.

Here are the LEDs. 19" strip of Green SMD LEDs

Installed on the bottom and top of the case.

The wires were a mess so I sleeved them.

Then tucked them away.

And they work!

Next 2 updates will be the final pictures. First the day pictures then the night pictures.

Cheers till then.

Since I don't have a yard and its kinda illegal here to take pictures outside... I'm going to go on my roof and take some in the next few days.

Cheers till then.
