I know a lot of you talk about all the great stuff that you can do to the guts of the console, but whats a good console with good guts without a cool look on the outside. Anyways i was thinking that maybe SMD could start expanding in maybe tutorials on how to improve the console outside. I've been reading up and found how much you can actually do to your Xbox, such as cutting it down to make a slim xbox or you can paint it the colors you want or cut a piece out on the top and put plexiglass so that you can see your game or dvd, or led lights. THink about this and hopefully we can start to talk about case modding and adding tuts on how to do some cool stuff to the outsides of our xbox's, like check out zzk2001's or SMD xboxs. Thats the stuff im talking about.

Yeah that's a good idea... now just to see who actually know's how to do this stuff and can put it in tutorial form. I mean I've done paintjobs and changed cases etc, but I've never done anything too complicated.

Well dr fweega maybe u could do a tut on that because most people paint there case and dont prime it or know that they should take out all the parts before painting it, a tut would be good for that.

No , i want to do something like that or cutting the case into a slim box but i think that would have lots of over heat probs, but that came from llama.com in the forums.

yes they do, but just dont get any thick stuff as, it is very hard to cut, and it wouldt look good being that small. and plexi class is plexi glass pretty much, you would only have to care about brand if you where going to have it under situations where strenght is a factor.

i think its a great idea. I sometimes see adds for websites that sell custom cases. That picture you showed also has some custom LEDs in the power button and on the xbox logo and its really awsome

I just bought a bunch o crap off of divineo like lights and whatnot. I figured it's time to make the box pretty. I'm tired of staring at the same old thing.
