Project: XBOX Supreme

[Poodmund]

Can I ask how you are cutting the acrylic... just out of curiosity?

 

[kier]

The straight lines with a jigsaw
And the curves with fretsaw

 

[joxang]

This is awesome. Your acrylic led mod is gonna get copied (hope you don't mind ).

 

[kier]

Offcourse not, be my guest

 

[Shayper]

Nothing short of brilliance so far

 

[EniGmA1981]

All that work for a green edge

It's not just any old green edge though is it... it's a green edge that lights up and looks awesome!

 

[Poodmund]

The straight lines with a jigsaw
And the curves with fretsaw

In that case you're fitments are all the more impressive.

Update 30-05

Here we go again....update time

Had the tray of the Xbox board disassembled and painted it black

This is better than the aluminum look.

Exchanged the original rivets for black ones

scotch tape on it from damage the paint

Nice flat and black

Also did some brainstorming for the window and got some nice ideas presented. I am going to try engraving this time.
So after some practice and see some movies

For the lines I use a diamond point bit

And for coloring / Shadow effect I used a diamond tip

First some practice on a scrap piece and then ............. the real work
with a steady hand you'll do quite well. The first angle

In the dark, and an LED strip behind

And yesterday, the second part done. Pretty funny this engraving

And that was the update for now......you like it? I know I did

Grtzzz.

 

[Valentino]

My slim is better

 

[ZXSpectrum]

PS3 next!!! BTW i have this case but never really modded except a nice quiet fan..

 

[spoogle]

I thought it was lining up to be the perfect mod until I saw those designs on the window!
Apart from that, top work!

 

[EniGmA1981]

Quite like the idea of engraving the window... I don't really go along with the tribal style designs though... Prefer something... 'darker'

Kier, I looked through your other builds and You've SO made me want to copy Lightning McMod for my kids!!!! I love it!!!

 

[Gary*]

Had a quick skim through as I'm about to pop out.

Looks nice so far!

Where did you source the case from? Finding it a pita to get a hold of.

thats exactly what i thought lol
but im sure it will still look great

 

[BaDBoY_uK]

Just wow mate. I admire the skill and lateral thinking needed for something like this. I have always wanted to do something completely modified but I just don't have the time.

Keep the pics coming

Sub'd

 

[ZXSpectrum]

Yeah personally i dont think the tribal stuff fits.. Its the sorta stuff you see just above a skutters butt crack or down the side of a chav mobile.. I woul dhave thought something more fitting for the 360 would have been nicer.. Maybe Halo logo or something tech based..

 

[EniGmA1981]

Maybe a faint tracing of a circuit board?

Not sure how hard that would be (probably VERY lol) but I think that'd look awesome

 

[[RB]]

I think overall it looks fantastic but personally I would leave the window plain/clear.

 

[Mr Gimp]

+1 on leaving the window clear

Fantastic mod though, I'd love to do something like that!

no competitor linking please

Update 02-06

Today did the final touches to the engraving. Like this engraving thing
we gonna do this often

The black painted parts are also placed back

And I was brainstorming for the watercooled components. Pump and the 250mm Reservoir

The EK Supreme's with BP fittings

Reservoir next to it

We fill under the xbox drive. This gonna make a plate with a hole for reinforcement

He goes from the pump in to the first block

And from the second block he goes into the radiator, and from the radiator back to the reservoir.
And two last pictures of the hardware with window

This is it!!!

Grtzzz.
