Alright,

I'm not going with an acrylic case, however, I can't decide on which case to get..

Which case do you think would be best?





Thanks.

Probably one of the little ones.


Really though, the only problem will be getting it all to fit without any standards (except maybe the DVD drive?). I like that Thermaltake, though. Kudos and good luck!

I agree with bob. The thermaltake looks like a high quality sick frag box with a "don't even look at me the wrong way" attitude.

Makes sense.

Think it will look nice with green cathodes? I have two 4'' green cathodes attached to the motherboard power area, so they're kind of stuck there, but it will make the case stand out more.


I'm pretty much putting all the problems on paper, and finding solutions.

I don't think I will get banned from XBL, but they think if I'm drawing more power, I'm using a mod chip.. But I don't think that will happen, and if it does, I'll take care of it.

I'm waiting on a response from the site that sells the PSU adapter, and once I get a confirmation, I'll order the stuff, and hopefully be working on this towards the end of the month/early November.


I also have to deal with the Xbox 360 DVD drive issue that started this whole thing.



Stay posted, and thanks.

I personally like the thermal take but if you transport the 360, that handle would be really nice. I never thought id use the handle on my computer case and i'm surprised at how convenient it is.

The green cathodes on the thermaltake will look nice. As long it is all green (no blue fans or anything). If you have some red cathodes, that'll look better, but it is all preference.

I do transport it, a lot, but I can easily mod a handle on there or something.


Well, I found two Xbox 360 Portable Screens, the cheaper one got bad reviews, while the more expensive one got better reviews, lol.

Once I get the case transfer complete, I'll look into a screen mod.

Yeah, I chose green since it's the color of the Xbox, so.

But I do plan on getting green fans and stuff.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do for the power button?

Like how to connect the one on the case to the Xbox mobo inside the case,






Thanks.

g4m3rof1337 d go with the smaller one too... g4m3rof1337 are you extremly good at moding an xbox? I have an issue with mine right now... the display and sound are not working and xbox said it will cost 60 pounds to fix... should I just pay that or is there something else I can do?

Depends on what you are trying to do, I added a side panel, new paint, cathodes, and new thermal paste on the heatsinks, and that was all really easy.


I'll look around for the problem your having.



I'm pretty sold on the Thermaltake case, I don't mind that it's a bit bigger than the normal 360 case, but it would be a one of a kind, and it would have more room to deal with heat.




Do you guys think XBL would pick up on 'drawing more power'?

they might do

cant you just set up a different psu for the fans/lights etc...

What about a drive bay PSU?


I don't think they would be able to pick up on the PSU adapter.. I plan on using a regular computer PSU to power the 360.

You don't think that's traceable..



But what would I need to have the drive bay PSU just power fans and stuff? Like wont I need a 24 pin connector that makes the PSU think it's plugged into a mobo.

I thought getting the Lian-Li Xbox 360 case, but it's around $160 and I can't find anywhere to buy it.. Plus, it doesn't have that 'mod' feeling.. All you do is replace the mobo and your pretty much done.. While with a Micro ATX case, you have to cut a panel for A/V and Ethernet, and make everything fit.


I'm going to try and use one power supply for everything, so.


I also have to find a power button solution.. I can turn the 360 on by turning the wireless controller on, but I would like to use the front power button on the case.




Hm.. I'm going to look into making my own case.. Aren't I just going after a box shape? :p
