That Pic has always eluded me also! Unfortunately they were never produced, maybe that one is a proto that may be in circulation?? I'd give my right arm for one! :ugeek:

I never saw that pic and I guess that red one was a prototype that made it out into the wild.

I have all the other colours but like you guys, would love to own one of the red ones. Let be realistic though - it is nigh impossible to find green and blue ones that WERE in production so finding one of the red ones where potentially only a handful were ever made is going to be harder than winning the lottery jackpot several times :lol:

Taking into consideration the ruby red was never a MS colour scheme, I find it highly unlikely it was made however if you really want one why not take a case that is available along to a local plastics company and have them make you one using the original case you supply as the negative mold?. Making molds from scratch is costly and time consuming but in this case you have the exact shape you require that they can make a negative mold from thus cutting the costs enormously. Then show a picture of the ruby red colour and have them match that. With plastic molding, one offs are pricy but I would suggest you have a few made that you will easily sell and that will offset you costs.

You have a company in Canada that makes the Xbox Ghost cases. I have bought quite a few ghost cases off them. :lol:

It won't help much honestly, but here is what seems like the original source of this image.

Yeah that does help a little. I contacted the guy by youtube and Email asking how he managed to have a ruby X3CP.
Thanks for the help though.

Ran into this just now..........http://www.ioffer.com/i/custom-original ... =250105146

Cant tell for sure but it looks like it had a Crystal front panel or the cheap clear plastic one's and it was painted red on the inside to match the XCM case. It just doesnt have the transparency of an XCM.

I've seen that guy do that before, he paints them. Look at the bank switches, he painted those too.
