Those cost money, so it might be upwards of a week before I have enough cash to splurge on that stuff.

to make it really perfect you should cut some metal pieces to cover the open space in the back.... something i always considered doing but i didn't have the patience/fiber cutting discs

just bringing that up becuase its the only thing i can see thats "wrong" (not really wrong) with it... looks great man.... light it up with red and white cc's!

Well it's only half done.

The Xbox mobo is neither it has it's own hole-set.
I just traced them onto the MOBOpannel and drilled them and bolted some standoffs into them.

The colors were mentioned a while back.

Anywho, got windows cut, front plate bondoed today and side window half etched.

Here are some teaser pics.

BTW, Like those bolts to hold the window in?

Post by: chris_kalan on July 27, 2004, 06:57:00 PM
Very nice bolts, look like they could hurt someone.  If I were doing this mod, I would round them off...but if you like it, all the power to ya.

You should do a tutorial on this, even though you don't have pics of you doing it in steps, but you could do a good written tutorial.  I haven't seen any good XBOX => PC tutorials.

I love the red colour, and I just have a question.  Are you going to keep the DVD bezel or keep the DVD player flush to the box?

Why would you need a tutorial? just buy some standoffs, cut holes for them and mount the mobo and psu. HDD and DVD slot straight in and bolt in place; and thats it. The major part of this project is the design, which is cut a hole in the metal side, mount window which you can buy in most pc shops. And the powder coat can't be done unless you have the equipment or know someone with it. You people rely on tutorials too much.

To etch that side window, did you just use some sand paper?  I am looking at custom etching some stuff too and am just curious what method works best.

Yeah... It really needs Lighting, but that's somewhere off in the future at this point. My car just got impounded last night for out of date tags. So I have to get that out now. I really don't have money to put LEDs or a neon in there... But if someone were to DONATE......

LOL
