Hi guys,

I know its not a PC but I thought I would show it anyway. Just did the final clearcoat 10 minutes ago and its still wet!!

There is no xbox in it yet of course. Just the shell drying.

I used the saitek cyborg symbol as I really like it, I modded my mouse with the symbol and plan on getting the cyborg keyboard.

Anyway here are some pictures. The power button got slightly damaged so I may replace it at some point.

Ha yea that eye would be tricky, and what with the heat that xbox will release on the world it might come off again.

I'm on my 3rd but thats by choice. :D

Swapped 1 over when i worked at currys before the warranty run out ;)
2nd I swapped for a laptop and my 3rd is staying put till i talk the misses into letting me upgrade it for the new version :D

OP nice job, always wanted to do something like that myself but never had the nerve.

Put a real PC in there to really confuse people! A mini ITX board might work?

The eye thingy and mesh was glued with hot glue gun. Shouldn't fall off any time soon. Replaced the power switch now because when I fitted it, it didn't work right. The power switch is now black which looks quite good.

I'm going to spray the top of the dvd drive and heatsink funnel thing black and mount a couple of small red cold cathodes in it when I get the chance....... and some money.

I had several xbox cases lying around so I used one of those so I wasn't too worried if I messed up.

I still have most of two xbox cases left that aren't to badly destroyed so I might put them together to form a sort of cube and mount either a M-ATX rig in them or a mini-ITX rig.

nice work mate.


I had 2 Xbox 360s both RRD both were repaired by me with the xclamp replacement
both lasted well over 12 months after repair before I sold them.

Finally finished it. I put an old and dead 360 in it just to make sure it all fits and painted the fan shroud black.

Power button is also now black.
