Indeed it does and i hope so, if so i will do a service for case modding xD

A word of advise. Don't cut all the way to the edge. Leave room for the filing and sanding for good clean cuts.

Im not sure on the color im gonna go for atm as i don't want too much blue.

 

[P Z U]

Blue and red have good color contrast... Like fire and ice.

Not thought that threw yet

 

[Rocket.Man]

Dont think you should bud!!

Well I might take out the dvd drive and put it there as I have no use for a dvd drive really, or may extend the wires and make a housing for the dvd drive.

 

[Rocket.Man]

That would be better! Its looking good tho keep it up

 

[Motograter]

Looking good so far. Keep the pics coming!

Drive section 1 is done, need to wait for my new diamond cutting discs to come to finish it:

 

[Zryth]

So my new diamond Cutting disks came today so i started to finish my case off.

Here is the stands and stuff getting cut out of the way ready for the plexiglass to fit nicely.

With that done, i cut down the plexiglass and tried to fit it in the case snug, after doing so i hot glued it into place.

Put the case back on the xbox and now im just waiting for my LED's to come.
Here is the look of it atm, i know i said i was gonna use u-channel rubber but that came to a fail so i gave up with that crap.

This thread will hopefully be updated again, tomorrow if the LED's come.

Ok doesnt look bad. I would highly suggest painting the DvD case like Blue or black it looks funny with that metal look
