xbox case mod
Moderator:Moderators
Hey guys. I want to make a new case for my xbox using clear acrylic like the PC cases at http://www.clearpc.ca/ . Has anyone ever made a case like this? Does anyone know where I can get the materials to make this kind of case?
Sounds cool. While I've never made one myself, this guy's article may give you some pointers:

For the acrylic you could probably just ring up all the glass- and/or plastic-supply places in your town and see what they offer.

That would be cool to do, but you would need to make sure the parts are well grounded.
If you are into modded XBOXes, check out these sites from another forum I go to.
clear one that had LEDs put in (scroll down)
I don't know why, but I think these people like the Xbox...

I finally got around to making a 3D model of the Xbox case I plan to make. I will be using clear acrylic for the case with a transparent red acrylic X on the top. This rough 3D model shows the case with the X on the top along with four controller ports, an LCD screen, and a DVD drive. The case is going to have a red theme (red acrylic features, red leds, and a red lcd).

Looks good. I especially like the "floating" X idea.

i'm using a SmartXX Xbox modchip. You can connect an LCD to the modchip and a lot of homebrew software already supports it.
