Scorpion Xbox
- Thread starter freakzilla3333
- Start date
I want to start it at £149. Even if it sells for this price, ebay will take £16.50 from it for total ebay fees. So I would only make £32.50 for all this hard work and for the month of planning here. 
At least it will have improved my modding skills.
If people bid up to £200, ebay will take 20.50, so I would make £80, which is much better, but I think there's more work in making this than the Millennium Falcon XBOX, and so in terms of amount of work, It's worth much more than £80 profit.
So yeah, I will start it at £149....a real low price for something this good, and the only one in the whole world. Don't forget it has all those custom soundtracks and savefiles too, a crystal controller, SAMSUNG DVD Drive, and the 6V/12V fan mode switch.

Here's the improved HDD Holder, now I've cut squares out of it and cut off anything that wasn't necessary, although, I had to put electrical tape on some areas to cover up the hdd circuit board just incase the psu could zap it somehow, I don't know, I'm not really an electrician, just a very good modder .
So now it lets air circulate properly around the XBOX resulting in a cooler hdd, and the hdd holder is much lighter in weight, 'cos I'm adding stuff to the XBOX, I'm taking as much as possible away to keep it's weight the same as a standard XBOX or as light as possible.

Everything looks pretty good so far. Except that HD Tray... It loks like some really organized termites got in there, lol. I forget if you said you were gonna be putting a fan or two under the HD (too lazy to skim the other posts). If not, you should.
I could put a fan under there but that means I lose profit, and like I said, I won't be making anywhere near enough anyway unless it gets bidded-up to £200 or more.
I can add whatever the winning bidder wants (for installation fees of course). It won't be easily openable when it's 100% done so if the winning bidder wants it chipped, I would have to do it.
The hdd tray is just as strong as before, but lighter and holier.

nice... very nice... i have a small suggestion though. seeing it now, have you thought about painting the power/eject buttons? Either yellow or black. It would make the red led stand out more
Thanks.
Interesting idea. When this beast is finished, I'll do a photoshop design of it with button colour and design variations and see how it looks.

Funny thing is, i thought you were going to paint the rope/spear on... It looks way better that's it's an actual rope.
Yeah, the rope is attached to the front of the DVD Tray so that it looks like it's pulling the tray open and closed. I even put a bit of red paint on the rope to make it look like it's been used to "get over here!" someone before. And the hole that it comes from has red paint on it so it looks like it's piercing through the XBOX and making it bleed.
I have done a lot since the last progress update, DVD Window is in progress, and I am adding the mesh today. I will post photos later.

It's looking more like the photoshop design every day.
I have sanded down both grills: (the right one isn't finished yet).
Check out the mesh on the left side. I like the edges that I left from the grill too. I think it looks much neater than the full grill thing that's on un-modded XBOX cases.
Feedback please.

I haven't done much on this Scorpion XBOX recently 'cos I have to finish off my collegework for my art avce. I will be continiuing with progress on it soon.
What a relief! I was gettin worried.freakzilla3333 said:Progress will start again next Saturday. Don't worry poeple, it will be Finished.
Here are some progress photos. The skulls on top are not finished, I just placed them on there to show that I have made them, I need to paint them. It will look much better wehn the led's are all lit up. They are soldered and stuck in place but need to be connected to power wires when it's ready to put together. The photos also make the "blood" look too bright, it looks much better in reality.
