Yeah, there is nothing like that to my knowledge. You'll have to, undoubtably, make it custom out of acrylic or, like you said, plexiglass (assuming you want it see-through).CynX said:
Well, sure it doesn't have to have cup holders, but I thought that was the intention of your mod. People have moved controller ports before: usually as a result of major modifications (I myself am halfway through moving my Xbox into a PC case, if it gets finished before my first semester at Mizzou begins, then I'll post pictures... it's gonna get a nifty paint job now that I'll have a very large canvas to work on). Hey, it's your custom job. Make it how you want; if you don't like it, then why would you make it? I suggest you go for your original idea, as that is obviously what you had you heart set on (that sounds really corney... excuse the terminology).CynX said:
I've seen an Xbox and a Gamecube combined before. I've also seen plans for similar ideas you have just mentioned. However, I don't think any of them have gone through, probably due to the amount of time required to do so, as well as modifying a PC case to hold the inards of all three (I would think a PC case would be the only thing large enough). However, if you'd like to do that, have a lot of time, and a mild budget (for buying the parts you will inevitably need to purchase), then by all means go ahead. You definately are not the first person to think of this, but you would be one of the few people to accomplish it.CynX said:
Well... in theory, it's possible... (I believe the Xbox motherboard is single layer) I guess. However: have you seen that board?! I mean, after all, ouch! I don't think a soldering iron with a fine enough point exists in the world. So, unless you are a machine (I'm not trying to doubt your skills... but installing a mod chip and creating a motherboard are in a tad different league), I think you ought to stick to the original idea. Besides, two large cups are almost as long as the Xbox's length, so it's not like you need to remove three inches. You can make it shorter simply by moving the controller ports to the roof the Xbox, and it'll still be one of a kind.CynX said:
I know it would be hard, but i just think it would be really cool. I was looking at an extra mobo i have and was trying to pic out points where the least amount of lines would be cut...i also came up with another idea that i cant really show on paint. I just think it would be a nice effect because the leds would almost reflect off of it. What if i took one of those cutting things (starts with an "r" and i cant rememebr the name due to the fact i have been up for like 2 min.) What if i looked at the board and if there are any spots that are pretty big (atleast the size or a quarter or half dollar) and took that little r thingy and actually cut squares into it. Then i could make my custom plexyglass box atually have big holes going through it...its hard to explain but it all goes together up in my head. i will try to come up with a way to actually do it on paint (if anyone has a good photoshop program that make make 3d diagrams then they could do it really easy.) As for the oak box, that sounds pretty cool.linuxn00b2004 said:
Do you mean a router or a dremel? I can see what you are picturing (like, putting holes in the mobo where there are no traces), and that has the potential to be nifty, but you would absolutely have to put it in an acrylic case, to show off your efforts.CynX said:
