I've been working on this project for about a year now. I probably could do it within a week, but the process was long and full of mistakes, and I barely ever really worked on it. Well here it is:

Forgot to mention features.

Where do i start???

Built in Pelican wireless controller as first controller.
2nd controller port mounted on left side
Custom power button
Fan under 200gb WD drive w/ upgraded IDE cable
Fan over GPU, CPU, and an exit fan
7 inch pyle LCD
"stereo" sound - running in mono...
but there are 2 speakers built in behind the velvet on the screen
Velvet everything.
The A/V port on the outside of the case holds the a/v cable out of the way so briefcase can stand safely.

Since there are all the ports in the back, you can still hook it up to a regular TV

Spiderchip running modified M8plus_16, blue X w/ NO DVD check.

NO DVD DRIVE
the custom mounting of the Xbox mobo was the hardest, then dremeling out the back of the case to fit without prior measurement was very difficult...

questions?

None of these pictures do it justice. the velvet that covers the screen and make up the dark portions of the X on the plexi look really nice, but my camera makes it look goofy

i really recommend you check out my gallery HERE

ill take some more pics later
hopefully i can get the camera to capture the magnificance

and do look at the videos HERE and HERE

beerchug.gif  ....its very neat...i love it...absolutely love it....minus the way you did the wiring at the back....i would go all out and just wire up the av stuff from the underside of the board...and i would have just made the holes for the av..ethernet etc more to the correct size if possible....then if they were too small...just gradually hand sand till they have a perfect fit.....my only recomendation is to do like i said with the AV.....and maybe get some rubber sealent stuff....kinda like weather stripping i guess.....but black...and do it around the holes....if it doesnt take up the space..it will make it look more tidy if nothing else

I like it, mainly the cleanliness, but a DVD drive would be easy to put in, or just make an external one... <

It's got to get hot though, with it entirely sealed off and only 1 fan to the outside, right?
