Fist X-box 360 Mod

X-box was given to me free of charge first i was told i fix could keep so i did... A Big shout to Handsome Marty for getting me Hooked... Then drew out were windows would be. Drill a hole in each corner for jigsaw but stay clear of your markin out. Dremmel out closer with small sander bit then file smooth and square and smooth with fine grit sandpaper... underneath dremmel off all lugs so your plexiglass will fit flush...cut glass so it over hangs your cut out enough not to block side holes n glue....but before glass added sand case 600 grit then smoother wash all crap off n undercoat 2 light coats..leave a day then first light coat inbetween coats light sand take out all imperfections after 4 coats i did 2 coats lacquer...Same with front face plate took everything off power button the lot to get back on you need epoxy resin glue as behind faceplate they hot melt tabs...replaced back fans with green Talismoon whisper fan, and added extra xcm fan for gpu to help cool also were fans sit i cut 2 circles in mesh helps a great imo....added xcm dvd cover for dvd drive ( make sure you know what model drive you have hitachi , samsung etc
Added 2 small extra heatsinks which you get in the executer fix..Helps with the E73,E74 1 sits on the Ana chip (the one on utube were they put the pennies)....

is it okay to paint the top and bottom of case? I realize if so i would have to use an air compressor or electronics duster to make sure no paint drys in the holes and would probably need a heat resistant paint. If it is possible what brands/types of paint or tricks would you recommend?

also can you explain what it takes to switch the fans, what kind of fans to buy. how to hook them up with led lights. can exhaust fan be added?

nice info. just finished my first "spider man" xbox for my son. Made mine look like stone but waiting on some clear coat to finish it. will put pics up soon. thanks for all the great info/tips

This is my sons, I know it's a little sloppy but it's my first and was an experiment. Next ones will be much better.

@ Deama you need to take case apart completely, you have left the tin underneath the case and this is a no no ! The tin case comes off you no longer need it.. And you dont need heat resistant paint just paint for plastic and a plastic primer.As for paint in holes it dont matter as you painting case with nothing in, you need to strip completely down m8 as if not you will never achieve the desired finish and you cant honestly cut and hot glue the plexiglass window any other way..... On the net they r loads of tutorials i red up first and just went with flow mine took 3 weeks to do a little every day and some on weekends....You dont need air brush for paint just decent aerosol ....You might off been better with decal kit To paint the faceplate i took the lot off completely and used epoxy resin to glue back on as some tabs behind r hot melted....or use a hot glue gun....I know yor first attempt very adventerous for first attempt but imo if you do another practise on plastic with paint finish n glue etc as all materials act diff....

Did a little more today, painted cd case and wind tunnel. ordering led fans and should have that done within the week. also going to redo plexy and glue.
