how easy is it to make a white xbox 360 black?

[snow patrol]

hi all, i need to get a new xbox but i want a black one...however i don't really need the elite so i was considering saving some money and getting a regular premium one.

i would like the front (and top) to be black though otherwise it will stick out like a sore thumb in my av rack, where everything (vm box, amp, wii, wdtv) are black.

so any suggestions? thanks

edit: oh yeah, i don't want to void the warranty or anything, so i'm considering a fascia for the front but something equally removable/temporary for the top)

You can get 'skins' which stick on to the xbox.

a couple of rows of black electrical tape over the top of the xbox should suffice.

That'll look crap. OP's better off saving his money for an elite.

I think your sarcasm / humour meters need replacing.

Stickers for warranty.

Spray paint for void.

Hair-dryer on warranty sticker + new 3rd party case would be my preferred option.

Never thought of that.

This would be best /\

You can get replacement cases, mine is in a gloss 'piano' black case to match the rest of my AV kit.

Yep, only problem with the proper Elite case is that it's more a dull matte charcoal rather than proper black, so doesn't actually match correctly like the PS3 does.

so your saying you can remove the warranty sticker without voiding the consoles warranty
