Those same nerds modders responsible for that first
evar Xbox 360 hack, the relatively
modest controller LED swap, have really upped the bar
with their first 360 case mod. Along with the
obvious bling, they boosted the fans to 12V for better cooling, and internally mounted a 60GB USB drive that plugs into
an external port, allowing for a PC connection if needed. We can only mourn the playtime lost at the hands of this
little project, but modders will be modders.

I wish that modders would realise that internals to most electronics are ugly as sin and that not everything benefits from the imac treatment. I mean that sure ain't a Ferrari engine that you can see in there with any evocative styling...

Very purty indeed...
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Seeing that almost makes me wanna waste my rent money on buying an XBOX. Looks fuckin badass.. good job people.
Hahaha, that is so damn ugly.
Now show me a 360 shoe-horned into an xbox 1 case :) id love to see if they can fit the almighty power brick into the orginals case too!
remind me again why Microsoft or this guy, doesn't have the power supply inside the machine?! Looks like plenty of room!

has anyone taken apart the PS to see it it's just heatsink? [tounge]
~ryan~
Could be the heat? That was causing trouble even outside right?
The stock cases don't look too bad either... Now that the prices have come down on ebay I just might pick one up http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:31&item=8237593659
wintedo 2...
is it just me or is the 360 a PC it graphics are look like a really good PC game bult for a highend graphics card...
i want inovative game play... to go something different... but that is just me...
it may be sort of ugly but if the fans are better then it is worth doing.
#12, retsel: Is it just me or is... you grammar far badder than spelling you....
Go buy a Nintendo if you want weird games.
And ~ryan~ you just answered your own question, as alvin said.
Posters #1,3,5 try and say things like that in a humours way in future: #2 is setting a fine example for you.

Xbox 360 really sucks....wait for ps3. its going to be tons better, plus the games are so much better. Microsoft just doesnt get it. They try so hard to make things good. They need to work with a good company like apple to get some innovative ideas. I mean if you really look at it they steal all their ideas from all the good companies.
..."They need to work with a good company like apple to get some innovative ideas"
Aaaah Apple. That fabulous game manufacturer. They are truly the kings of innovative gameplay on the console market. :o
wow a playstation vs xbox arguement already.. u guys are sad arguing over a console
Do you have stocks in sony #16? Who gives a shit what console other people buy?
I really can't decide wether #16 is honest, a troll or a joke...
I think post #20 just answered #18 question about owning stock in Sony. Nice own #18 and #20 get out of here you Sony fanboy.
You know what I haven't had in a long time?
Big...Leauge...Chew....
#24...... Amen......
I can't believe that guy said Microsoft just doesn't get it. Ha.
I like the bit also about if you want weird games buy Nintendo. Talk about some weird games...look at half the games in Japan.
This looks about 20 times better than Microsofts design. Maybe the companies should hire rad case modders to design their systems.
Oh, and Mr. xboxsucks... The PS3 isn't anywhere close to even being completed.. It could end up being a steamy pile of horse crap.
That is DOPE!!! Next, liquid cooling (would solve those overheating issues too). Anyone making water blocks for that CPU and GPU yet? ;-p...
#24. I had some Razzles today... they taste like that were made in the 70's
These modders are wasting there time on xbox "prettification"(not an english word)instead they should focus on real modding because whoever comes up with a mod first is going to make millions.
And Mr.xboxsucks i am a Sony playstation fan too,but going on message boards and shouting "this sucks" "that sucks" is really lame.
#15 your a god damn fucking dumbass look at the specs side by side and the are EXTREMELY similar.
