Let me know what you all think. Joey III Title: Re: Modding a XBOX 360 Post by: ROCKET on March 13, 2010, 11:58:28 AM it needs some cold cathodes to light it up !!!
looks cool nice job !!! how about putting it in a plexi cabinet ?? with a door to get to cd-drive of course !! Title: Re: Modding a XBOX 360 Post by: CarruthersIII on March 13, 2010, 12:53:40 PM I am not to happy with the faceplate, It just dont match the paint to well. i agree with the cold cathode idea i love the way they look. I have dual 12" colds in my arcade cabinet.
looks cool nice job !!! how about putting it in a plexi cabinet ?? with a door to get to cd-drive of course !! So you think a full cabinet with LED fans and colds in it???

So you think a full cabinet with LED fans and colds in it??? TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH !! how about a open front ?? square box etc allow 2" around entire unit ! velcrow it to bottom . then put a few 12" cold cathodes on each side and acros top you can do two 6" cathodes of mixed colors ? blue & red tied together on the 6" so two six inch red& blue on top space in middle for a light or slot button like WOF to power it up ?/ then two six inch red & blue to right on top . then the 12" ones run inside on the corners for the depth of cabinet !! four needed --2-pair etc . that would look cool -then use smoked plexi !!--???? just some thoughts ?? i like the WOF button for a on off switch even mounted through plexi ?? be carefull if you drill TAPE BOTH SIDES SO NO CRACKS !!

I think i may draw this up as a whole new MOD all togther. When i started working with plexi i had that problem, kept breaking it. What do you mean by WOF power button???? Title: Re: Modding a XBOX 360 Post by: ROCKET on March 13, 2010, 01:25:57 PM the SLOT MACHINE BUTTON FOR THE SPIN !! OF THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE !!
