Wooden Xbox Case Mod (Original) - Page 16

post #151 of 166
Thread Starter 
Here is a pretty big update of what I did today.

put some squares of wood in the corners to hold the side panel in place.
450

Got a vent slot cut into the back panel of the case, This will allow air to flow in past the PSU keeping it cool.
450
450

straightened out, and expanded the slot that was in the main side panel.
700

You can see roughly where the CD drive will sit by the two lines that I drew on the case. I am still trying to figure out how to mount the CD drive in the case.
450

Everything screwed into the case. It fits very well.
700

here is how the CPU/GPU cooling fan is mounted. There will not be a vent on the side of the case for this fan. It has about a half inch of space between it and the side panel, so it is plenty of space to get air moving over the motherboard properly.
450

Got the front panel power and eject buttons all done. Here are the pictures from that.
450
450
Soldering is so much fun. thumb.gifrolleyes.gif
450
450
And the final product. It is the power light, and then the dimmer light is the hard drive activity light. It was dim because it was just flashing super fast while loading Vice city.

The open side will be another wood panel. I am still debating on trying to do a window in it to make it look techy.

I am always open for suggestions.
The finish is either going to be a really light oak stain, or a really dark walnut or cherry stain.

Light oak + blue LEDs or dark cherry + red LEDs.

It's your project, but I think the dark cherry, red power/HDD LEDs, and a smoked acrylic windows with interior accents (red lighting) would be thumb.gif

Hey Thrash-
I'm glad this project is still alive! Looks like you have made some major progress since I last checked in. It's looking good smile.gif
I want to see the stain choices, but my gut tells me a darker color will look nicer (but not too dark)

You could always use the case, for a SFF build. Should be able to fit a micro itx board in there no problem, heck maybe a good gpu, with a pci riser card thumb.gif

what do you mean half dead. Unless the hardware died on it, there is still a possibility of saving it. The Xbox I am using now barely worked when I got it. It would boot up and freeze part way through the flubber. Then it just kinda started working again.
