Case Mods Showcase

[Nextelhalo]

Haha, a Nextelhalo original!!!!!!!! Surely this has been done by someone somewhere

[blighty]

Pulled an old project off the back burner last night and finished it up. The cut on the jewel ring is not the prettiest but it works for me. Need's more light though, not too bright when the lights are off.

Sweet box Nextelhalo

also in this pic is my Xbox PC and my NES PC

I made a nes pc years ago wish i kept it (wonder if an xbox would fit inside )?

I just wanted to have something that looked like a NES that had every NES game on it ( and maybe a few more )

This is sick !!!!

[Nextelhalo]

Uhhhhhhh, that case swap is badass!!!! I'm glad you fully utilized the SmartXX chip with the LCD and what not.
Did you make a power switch for the two Hitachi hard drives?

[pythonjosh]

Hey yea, I don't see a hard drive in the pics? Are they under the mobo?
Sick work bro, keep it up!

[RoyalX]

They are invisible

Hey blighty, you painted your diet slim yet?

[Oldxboxusa]

Yes there is a Switch in that Box for the HDDs, i can switch between them when i start the xbox (the box must off). It works with a AC/DC Relais. On my Remote i must press only one Button to switch between them (One Button switches the Box on or off)
Okay here is a newer Picture with two HDDs inside:

Oh Man you are Stupid, if you had read my Post properly, u would know that these are Older Pictures.

And that also you understand it, i found the original case sucks. I would have a Case that looks like a Hifi Case (e.g. a Tuner).

pls leave a comment! But I may also insult your intelligence, it just comes with the territory, nothing I can do about it
Btw the hdd's and dvd are mounted in a rack that is mounted over the mobo, in case you stupid ppl are wondering

Sorry I completely overlooked the last couple lines of your post. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

I will post my other consoles later

@MrMajst3r

AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the inside picture too.

smooth

[Nextelhalo]

Very Very nice slimbox MrMajst3r, I'm digging that color scheme with the LED's. It matches your carpet, for a sec I though the xbox was giving off the red color in the carpet
How well does that one fan on top cool? I like it.

[MrMajst3r]

Well, with fan in jewel's place console has better temps than with 80mm on the back
When fan is set to 50% (almost silent), temps are about 30' CPU, 40' GPU (idle, XBMC).

Unfortunately, I couldn't set this fan precisely in the middle, because of HDD. So, it's a bit moved into right side.

In the dark

[whufclee]

Yeah that's a really cool idea mate, makes perfect sense to have the fan on top. Do you find it gets clogged up wtih crap very quickly? I'd imagine without a filter it would get a load of dust in there. I might try this fan mod myself as I want to make something a bit different with one of the crystals I have here and as they're 1.6's it also means I should be able to have USB ports that have constant power to them (ideal for charging phones, ipods etc.).

Thanks for the inspiration!

[MrMajst3r]

Fan is blowing warm air outside the console So I don't think there will be more dust then normally.

[whufclee]

Yes I presumed it was blowing out and not in - now that would clog things up

Just wondered whether or not gravity would work against the fan and sneak more dust than usual in there. I know stuff gets sucked in somehow with the vent at the back so just presumed it would be even worse on top, however if you've not noticed any problem with yours that's good enough for me!

[blighty]

Been working on my diet slim again and have had some case overheaing problems which i have now overcome with a laptop fan that now vents the case through were the joypad 1 & 2 ports should be and works well with my temps staying well below 50 C

Also have now overcome the problem i had with the ata lead, i found that if you plug the middle conector into the mobo ( slimmer fitting ) it works fine
still.

chopped up my fine card to hold the new fan in place

laptop fan

Just needs paint

[Nextelhalo]

Looks badass, what color what color?

[xman]

I like the sucking air through the ports bit using that style of fan, that's atop idea. Those fans certainly move so air. Have you found that fan noisy at all?. I've never tried one myself but have often thought of trying one but just haven't taken the plunge yet.
