IF YOU SEE IN THIS MORE UPDATED PIC I ADDED A CUT OUT FOR COMPUTER FAN GRILLE CAUSE THE SYSTEM OVER HEATED SO ITS PORTED NOW AND I ADDED 4 SHORT SCREWS TO HOLD THE PLEXI IT JUST LOOKS BETTER AND ITS DIRTY, LOL

Looks awesome. No LEDs? Regardless, looks great. Last console I modded was my ps2. Always wanted I do my 360 but never got around to it
 


When i was looking at the pics I was thinking nice way to overheat it....then i saw the last pic and saw it overheated lols. rule #1 never cover up the fans. looks great.
 
Looks nice - i love how "the booth" is a closet with newpaper lol

did you clear coat the whole thing after removing the mask?
 
That looks fun and all but i chose to go with function over looks

I added a 10,000rpm Velociraptor HDD to mine with a 60mm HDD cooling fan and also 12v modded the main cooling fan.

The main fan is allegedly good to around 90cfm or so but normally only runs at 5v MAX. well i took care of that problem :) -- Heat...what's that?

and the HDD? 10 to 30% faster load times for all games/saves loaded to the hard drive is an average. some are 50% or better. I no longer want to punch babies while playing Forza due to the tracks taking BLOODY AGES to load.

For the HDD:

Solder a 12v lead into the last 3 pins on the SATA connector.

Reassembly of the above connector must be done with only HALF of the shell to allow the connector to sit low enough on the mount. you will need a spacer on top to ensure good clamping force so it doesn't rock when inserting/removing the drive.

Made a small pigtail so the HDD cover is still removable. I wanted all internal wiring but it simply can't happen. I still can completely disassemble the XBOX minus that small black plastic shroud around all of the outputs on the back.

For power for all this i tapped into the 2 12v lines of the DVD drive (one on each side) so as to balance the load. First pic of final assembly: Note it lacked the spacer on the top of the SATA connector. This is how i found that one out. OOPS!

168832_492613393987_500488987_5835516_4389760_n.jpg


And the fan on the HDD cover's outside. This still is removable like stock and almost completely open. no room for internal fan. Obviously i trimmed the zipties flush :P

Wanna run a 7200rpm HDD or mod for the 10k? I can help you through it. Go look up a program called HDDHACKER and see the drives it supports. We'll soon be able to do a 320GB drive as soon as they dump the HDDSS.BIN for the new star wars console. time to upgrade!

lol. ea i ran a pretest and it over heated in like 5 min so i had to take the plexi off and cut the whole but it would have been a big whole so i took a fan from my computer bone yard

nice man i thought of it but was like nah if the overheat thing came back i had a fan for stand by a more powerful one but i dont mod the software i cant risk getting my system banned
 
It is not modding the software at all.

It is copying an OFFICIAL MS HDDSS.BIN file and partitions over to a compatible hard drive to allow it to work with the 360.

As far as anyone can tell...INCLUDING when they run a console check (because it uses the official file) it is a MS 120GB HDD.

I have had this console (my SOLE console) on live for almost 12 months now. i'd think if there was a chance of a hardware ban i would've got one by now ;)
 


Nice man looks awesome! ive always wanted to do that to my xbox, but whatever im already doing that to my computer so il keep it at that lol.

Some white cold cathodes or led's would look sweet
 
That does look sick. My brother wants to mod his (my) xbox. I may just say I'm going to help him do it... Then do it my way and steal it back from him lol.
