I created this xbox to demonstrate the new LED Fader that I'm selling. You can view the thread about this box in the Case Modding forums here.

At the moment, this is a stock 1.6 xbox with a Thomson DVD. I can mod it with any modchip, install and DVD drive, and install any size hard drive if you wish, or you can purchase it stock. Please make any offers either in this thread or through PM. Bumps are also appreciated!

Now, for the unique fact about this xbox. It has a 12 LED jewel ring, red eject ring, and red lit controller ports, all which 'breathe' (fade in and out) while the xbox is off, then come on solid when the xbox is on. The jewel hole is cut larger than the jewel, and the jewel is painted white and rests on a mounted fan grill.

I apologize for the horrible quality, but...
Here are some videos of the fading LEDs in action.

LED Fader in action. XBOX is off!

LEDs fade while XBOX is off, but are solid on while the XBOX is on.

I wanted the LEDs to simulate a mac. When the xbox is off, it is like it is in 'sleep mode', and the LEDs 'breathe' in and out. When you turn the xbox on, then the LEDs come on solid, and when you shut the xbox off again, they resume fading.

And here are some pics of the beast...

That is one slick xbox job you did. What color red did you use?

Both questions were answered in the first 2 sentences.

"I created this xbox to demonstrate the new LED Fader that I'm selling. You can view the thread about this box in the Case Modding forums here."

And to answer your AIM, the LED Fader is a very simple device, that just requires 4 quick wires to install. Even a beginner could do it.

Props on a sweet box and nice work on the pictures. A lot better work than the typical X-S crap fare from most people

Most likely not. I have enough xbox crap I need to sell already. I am open to offers though, so feel free to PM me.
