Looks great, as usuall. Have to say you have got to be the best here when it comes to making a vacumme formed case. Just wonder how heavy that thing is going to be.

That is probably the coolest design I have ever seen. How the hell did you get that skilled? Keep up the great work!

The case looks awesome! My only question is, won't it be hard to hold the top with all the weight on the bottom?

That is pretty sweet :drool:. The only thing is how good is that going to feel in your hand not to mention weight, but I sure there are reasons to why it looks that way.

yeah, looks very good so far

. oh, and I'm pretty sure the holes are so perfectly drilled because he actually used the controller and the psone screen case, and then just used some bondo. keep up the good work, dkap01

I thought you're dreamcast and many other cases were nearly godly, but this makes them look ordinary!!! That case is SO good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The XBOX's HDD has lockout software on it, so if it doesn't find the key it was looking for, it locks the ATA transfer and the system itself (IIRC). How do you plan to get past that? Can ModChips disable the lock?

Yes, mod chips can do that. In addition, on certian HDDs, you can install the key, after you have extracted it from the orginal.

It just amazes me because it looks like it is all shiny plastic ya know? He must use a dremel and xacto knife really well to first cut the parts after he did the vacuum forming and fit them into his case and bondo it up with some kind of shiny stuff to keep it looking proffesional. It boggles my mind
