Diet Slim?

Post by PressY4Pie »

I saw in the Show Off section i think Nextel made a "Diet" Slim, i was wondering if there were any complete pictures of such a thing? maybe some measurements?(:

My one? I dont have any measurements for it but it started off as a normal slim, but i had seen a super slim on xbox-scene a long time ago and wanted to make it smaller, i just just used a ball of blue tac to work out how much clearence i had inside the case and kept cutting more off until the case squashed the ball down to a pancake ( if you draw an imaginary line between the joypad port numbers above the ports that would be where mine is cut down to )

let me see if i can find any pics for you :D

once cutting had finished the blue tac is now holding in my jewel till the paint comes :)

I have been intending on finishing this of but with running a small buisness and fixing my friends busted 5 turbo has left me a little short on time.

Will be getting some paint on it soon :D

I've never seen a super slim with dimensions listed, you kinda have to wing it and fit it as you go just like Blighty did.
His xbox is a perfect model to go by IMO. cut and fit, cut and fit.
