How the hell did you place those lights ?
I've done some research but when i want to place those lights i need some room on the place where my HD and DVD-player racket is placed. What did you do with them.

Can you show an inside pic of your Xbox ( without the cover ) ?

Me thinks that i can see the motherboard so where the hell did his Harddrive go ?

Pleaze ACE25 -> Can you post a picture without the cover ?

yep, i dont think there is a hard drive or a dvd drive in there. It looks good but does it work, hehe.

[Gackt]

Maybe the lights are between the case plastic and the metallic sheet.

That shit is tight son

I love it, do the lights turn on when the Xbox does or do you have to do it manully?

[LiquidCell]

im doin this same thing, better get another fan or two in that box though

[Ace25]

Hehehe.. ya, the DVD-Rom and hard drive (120gig) are still in there. I took out the metal sheilding on the lid and put the light in diagnally. The center indiglo stays lit up all the time, and the cold cathode light comes on when its on. I dont know what a pic on the inside in going to tell you, just a light sitting diagnally across the hard drive and DVD-Rom..

Thanx Ace25 ... i thought it wouldn't fit between the top and the HD/DVD player even if you removed the metal shielding on the lit.

I am going to give it a shot soon but i am trying to find a blue Cold Cathode Light.
You used a 30cm ?

[rooicity]

We use the metric system so i was able to find a 30 cm and i think it would just fit when i move it diagonally in the xbox.
Any expert here in the conversion of inches to centimeters ?

12" = 30 cm

i guess ...

But another thing ... i am quit a newb according to casemodding.
The guy told me i just needed a CCL ( Cold Cathode Light ) and an inverter.
The inverter could be connected to a powersuply cable like is used for the HD and DVDplayer.

Am i correct or way off ?

[rooicity]

Just removed the jewel from my case....
Going to polish it some more next ....

Still thinking about LED's or Cold Cathode ....

Can't decide ...

1 inch = 2,54 cm I really do not understand that inch/foot/mile, etc... system, sounds very stupid concerning practicity.

                                    Yes, it's not very practical, but this is what our country has grew up on.  An attempt was made some years ago to switch over to the metric system, but it didn't go over too well.  Speaking as an engineer, I do these unit conversions everyday and I have gotten use to them, but my life would be a lot easier with the metric system.

Although, it is unfair to call the system stupid; it's just different.  And if you were to live in the US, everyday things make more sense in the British system.  This is why we haven't changed.

I do find it somewhat humorous that it is the US and one other third world country that still use this system.

For me, I grew up using the "f'd" up system.. and I still hate it.. I could never understand how someone had the bright idea to split a measurement into 1/12ths instead of 1/10ths like the metric system. Then, to have others say.. "That's a good idea, I think we should make that our standard measurement system" has dumbfounded me... I have never liked the American measurement system. I would much prefer metric worldwide. Then again, I also have a problem with so many languages in the world.. why can't we all speak one? And no, I do not think "English" should be the default language... it is too screwed up.. there are better one already in use.. just can't back that up myself, not a language major, but have heard it soooo many times that English is one of the most f'd up languages on the planet.
