Sound excellent freak, of course the paint was a little touch up, everything else sounds like a go.

So far I have changed the front panel led's round to be red, Put a red led in each controller port, Added a Red LAN and a Yellow HDD led, Soldered wires to the 12V fan pins holes, done the scorpion drawing in pencil:colour to be added, done a practice of scorpions eyes in chalk pastel.
The XBOX is a v1.4 or v1.5. The reason that I have added wires to the 12V pin holes is because I am going to add a sub-mini toggle switch with two fan modes, 6V(standard) and 12V(turbo). The switch is the same type as on the Friendtech's DreamX. It would be placed at the back of the XBOX. That way, you can have double the cooling power, but if you can't stand the noise, then you can switch it to the standard 6V. I will do this with the Sub-Zero XBOX too.

Oh, I almost forgot, it has a Samsung DVD Drive. What luck! Both this one and the XBOX I bought for my Millennium Falcon have Samsung DVD Drives.
The fan cooling plans sound badass freak, keep this thread posted, I'd like to hear more on the progress with these boxes.
I've taken the jewel out now, going to put the clear plastic replacement in there today. With the red paint that is supposed to look like blood, the red led's in the controller ports will give the effect that blood is pouring from the controller ports and glowing. I'll keep you informed of the progress on this Scorpion XBOX. I'll do the fan mod today as well. 
The fan mod is working well, I have had a practice for the dvd window on my original to keep xbox. I have done a photoshop drawing as well, I'll post it all in a few days.
I recieved the Scorpion today. Here are some photos, although they don't do it justice. The one is a silhouette and the other one is to show you the size of it. I was wondering, do you think it will look better behind the jewel or in a window cut out of the XBOX case because the scorpion is in a block of resin? Either way would be lit up with yellow led's.
I'll post the photoshop drawing soon of the NEW Scorpion design that I did after the previous feedback from Kimosabe.

The jewel man! If it blocked the DVD Window, then you cant see the game, making your DVD cut out a Scorpion cut out! Get my drift?
Sure thing, nothing big was edited, but pointed out one extra thing that could change and help the look completely.
I had thought of the yellow skull eyes led's before, but after I had made this design with photoshop. I'm glad you thought of it, that shows it's a good idea 'cos we both thought of it.
You want the scorpion in resin block in the jewel, so this could look wierd because it is smaller than the jewel so you will probably see the outline of the resin block. I'll experiment and find out.
No grill in the corner, I thought this might match the MK theme 'cos I saw a few in the fighting stages of the new game MK Deception. But I'm glad you don't like it 'cos I recently found out that there's a screw holder there anyway, so it wouldn't be possible to do.
Thanks for the feedback. I have 2 weeks off, so I'll get a some college (art) work done first, then I should have made progress on the Scorpion XBOX by the end of this 2 week holiday. I will post photos.

Here's an idea... You could cut out the grills and put in some modders mesh. I think that would add to the MK style, or have modders mesh under the plexi for the dvd window
I have edited the design with the mesh/grill. The sides of the XBOX would be the original plastic to avoid electric shock from the PSU.
I have also had a new idea, Scorpion's dragonblade mounted on the front of the XBOX. What do you think?
I also changed the jewel to the resin scorpion block. The orange lines indicate the edges of the resin. Like I said before, I'll experiment to find out if you will see these when the jewel is lit up.

i don't know whether or not the mash you have drawn is drawn like that for simplicity sake or if it's gonna look like that, but the honeycomb would look better i think.
that stuff looks sweet... i'm gonna be doing a dvd window with flush plexi window and that stuff underneath.
Sounds good. Be careful when cutting the shape out of the metal dvd casing, it makes really loud screeching sounds.
I want to really get started on this Scorpion XBOX on 5th April, so get all your feedback done by then please.
