Xbox Case In Carbon Fiber?
« on: May 25, 2003, 07:38:00 PM »

I have access to a CF manufacturer, and I was wondering... At what price would you step up and buy a CF Xbox case? It could be black CF, or silver CF, but I don't think it could be done for under $100-150 cost to the public. Just getting a feel for what people would spend..

I understand y people get carbon fiber hoods for their car i mean it looks hott. But for an XBOX wth. I think its kinda cool for it to not be kinda heavy but its not like its gonna increase its acceloration.

yeah so this is just about the dumbest idea i have ever heard... since the xbox price has dropped down to what $179 (US) why would someone drop $100-150 on just the XBOX CASE...  

really you need to think this through

YOu can buy sheets of carbon fiber laminate that you can very elegantly apply to basically anything, xbox included. These sheets run maybe about $30 for enough to do an XBOX, and if done properly will make your xbox look like it is made out of carbon fiber, because the sheets are not printed CF, they are just thin sheets of real CF...so that would likely be a better value

Well al Le Man cars are about top speed, acceloration, and handling. I like the Mclaren since its light and has a strong ass engine.
