Xbox Mod

[.Maleficus.]

Here's my Xbox mod I did a while ago. I'm thinking about adding a window possibly... Think I should? Anyways, onto the pics.

The jewel I took off, scraped off the green paint, sanded, and sprayed with red Rust-oleum Paint for Plastic, and the "Xbox" on the front I sprayed white with the rest, and wrote over with a Sharpie .

It's getting kind of beat up, I don't know if you can see in the pictures, but it could use a new coat of white, which I would do if I did add a window.

Tell me what you think.

very very clean. looks like there was some white overspray on some of the red. but it looks good anyways. +rep :]

Actually, thats just dust I tried cleaning it off best I could, but, tissues don't work too good I guess.

Thanks man!

I would say a window is just what that baby needs! imo, it almost looks unfinished without one. For me personally, I've always wanted to take the sections around the "X" and rebuild them in clear plexi. I've alway thought that would look pretty cool, but I gave away my xbox as a bday present awhile back.

You could also add some LED's if you wanted too? Under the jewel, in the controller ports, power switch, etc. Just a thought, it doesn't need it, but it would give it that bit of extra "glow". They used to have pre-made front bezels and whatnot's back in the day, but its been so long that I don't even remember who supplied them. I think Llamma.com still does though.

Agreed.. the sections to the left and right of the X could be windows... replace with clear plexi (vented of course to keep the same level of airflow as now), and then you could even window the dvd drive on the left side. Add the LED's to the jewel for sure, hell, if you are going to window the top, etch and led it too!

You could always invert the locations of the red and the white and put a maple leaf on there for a Canadian theme.

Not bad. Did you clear coat it?

Looks great..did you do a controller to go with it.

EDIT://I'm not really sure about a window in it. It looks great how it is but I guess it suppose on how you're gonna do it =P

EDITX2://..Another thought. If you don't cut a window in it or even if you do I think red LEDs would look great coming through the controller ports.

^^ agreed. the plexi idea sounds nice tho..
