Thanks for the tip, I should use the dremel to a low RPM to cut the acrylic right? I suppose I can't snap it, as it does seem easier to cut using the tool for a big piece (mobo tray) than slash n snap.

Yer use the dremel for the longer bits.. and yer lower rpm so it doesnt heat it up too much and melt back together

Looking good! I'm interested in seeing how the HDD will fit in the Xbox HDD clip. The acrylic looks good too

Thanks!

It's really strange, that 30cm twinset were the ones that caused the PSU to shut down unexpectedly, as you can see they're working and so is the PSU, my thoughts are it was a surge current that caused that, after all, its 620v running through those cathodes

I lub that dremel

I've looked out about the pinouts of the xbox360s HDD connector and its basically a SATA and its power connector in one, I'll have to remove the port from the mobo and attach it to the case and run a sata cable to the mobo, and solder a female molex there to plug the PSU. Nothing that I can't take care of. The electronic part is the easiest component on this mod.

I'll post some updates later on today. Going to work on the acrylic and with it try to cut out the back to fit the mobos backplate.

Thanks for your support guys

Another update!

Day 3 - Let the acrylic fest begin!

All right, I spent 5 hours working on the motherboard tray today lol.

I began by cutting the smaller piece of acrylic I had, after cutting it and fileing down the edges I finally managed to put the tray inside the xbox.


Well, for a first time using the dremel I don't think it's too bad, no worries though, it wont stay like that.


Er... lol I shattered two bits, I still don't know where the other halfs are
33 bits left O_o


Here I drew a rough sketch for the tray to sink in that area and snatched one corner, I used a technique Syrillian taught Josh (Thanks Syr ), I slashed the acrylic then snapped it


A close up of the corner I snapped.


Here I trimmed out the second side. This one got a bit better. Practice makes perfection


Here's a close up of the first side, it's harder to cut longer pieces

I did cut the third side of the tray but I forgot to take a pic of it lol
Is it normal to take about 15 to 20 min to cut each side of the acrylic? I even used the same technique there (snap it), else I'd take over half an hour to cut each side and I've set the dremel to spin at 7000RPM to cut the acrylic .

That's all for today, tomorrow there's moar Stay tuned

The acrylic makes one hell of a mess, I had acrylic "dust" everywhere

Cheers!
