Case Mod Project: XBOX Supreme

Presenting:



Hi fellow modders, it's kier again.
I was looking a long time for this Lian Li case, the PC-XB01
I knew he was EOL, but there is always someone who has this one.

So the search continued.

Did this case is really a beauty and offers quite a few opportunities because
Xbox is not really big and little more content, while the Lian Li is quite large.
It therefore offers opportunities for an expanded water cooling setup to installon the CPU and the GPU Proccesor.

After some research, I accidentally found a lovely Lili with a good friend:

Gnoom172.

Gnoom I owe you one

Also He had a nice Watercooling set for the Xbox. Which is very sweet, but too little for me.
I was then also noted by wwwicked a nice set from the famous Highflow shop

It was the XBOX PRO Dual 40 Watercooling Kit

Also very nice. But for a large case like i have now it’s actually too small
So after some fitting and measuring, I found out that it is quite possible for the following parts:

EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced

Laing DDC-1 MCP350 12V

Black Ice GT Stealth 120 Black

Nanoxia DX Series 120MM DX12

Hmm, I think the color combo is gonna be again black / green uv......I like it

And 2 x a EK-Supreme HF Nickel CPU Block

The Supreme's will fit nicely. I just need to mod the brackets, but this will definitely be nice

With this beautiful List I went to Freddy, and Highflow is again prepared sponsor this build

Freddy / Highflow thnx again very much

To start with I have some photo’s taken from the beautiful Lili



























These are the victims that I had left from a distant past.



And I could not resist to test the little sweet set











With the set is nothing wrong, but would like some more extreme than this, what will succeed. I know it for sure.

So this is the start of a my new build.

Grtzzz. And to be continued

Update!!!

Today and yesterday got some very nice stuff in of my belgium neighbors and High Flow

Yes, I had some luck ............ Ac Ryan acryl still in there shop




Uv green rules



The size of the side panel taken



And put some nice UV strips in the back



Both sides and just the right size



Placed the acryl and lights out



Also placed the sidepanel



And the effect is quiet nice






The other side is coming the same with some adjustments, transparent window and hole in the side panel.
And today got some nice stuff from Highflow

The Black Ice GT Stealth 120 Black radiator



A nice EK acryl top for the Laing DDC-1 MCP350



And the MCP350 pump



And my favorite fan, the Nanoxia DX 120MM DX12



Also not to forget, the 2 EK-Supreme HF Nickel CPU Blocks



Placed the EK acryl top



And this is what's coming in xbox



After all this picture taking, it's time to Dremel the bracket
marked the pieces



After some filing and grinding



And put it together again





Number 1



Both Supreme's side by side



That's it for now. Weekend is coming more

Grtzzz.

[Stem83]

looking good!!

[jamsand]

I'm not sure why you'd want to watercool an xbox since the cooling would cost more than the xbox bt it will look eic! looking forward to this one

[jeckulz]

Holy watercooled xbox!


Like it

Update!!!

I found out that the radiator does not quite fit nicely. When i put him on the inside and place the fan on top it came too much into the case. So I moved him to the outside. First marked the holes for the fittings.



After drilling the holes placed the radiator





Placed BP Fittings



And placed the fan





Power on



I love the looks of the Nanoxia uv green



The total is still quite nice, the radiator is pretty slim. But not finished, something beautiful is coming my way from Mnpc , but that’s classified



I also have painted the mounting hardware for the dvd and hdd black



And I’ve started to work an the other side. In this I want the uv green edge back again. So again sawn another piece of green



And then mod the original panel



The intention is that there is a window in the same shape as the original
Tape on both sides .....



Draw some lines



And after some cutting and filing:



Tape off and he's done.



Now it is obviously not good to have a green window. Windows should be transparent, no color allowed. Therefore I used the green plate and did some more cutting
First, mark and drill holes in the corners for the jigsaw





And again some sawing




First I placed and fixed with bolts to put everything in place





After that I had a mold for the transparent acryl.



And the result





And put everything in place. All that work for a green edge, lol



But I like it





And the window just transparent



Total shot...........you like?



Next update, I’m gonna let you see the loop of the water cooling
See you then, I hope
Grtzzz.

It's simple but it looks great ! Great job on the window too, I would've solved it the same way

[mars-bar-man]

This looks awesome man!!

Subbed!!

[djzic]

Awesomez!

[mnpctech]

Nanoxia uv green fan was perfect choice

[stuartwood89]

I was planning on making my own 360 case, but this look so much better. I love the green UV accents. I thought I grew out of UV, but it's so nicely done here. Well done!

Update 30-05

Here we go again....update time

Had the tray of the Xbox board disassembled and painted it black



This is better than the aluminum look.



Exchanged the original rivets for black ones



scotch tape on it from damage the paint





Nice flat and black



Also did some brainstorming for the window and got some nice ideas presented. I am going to try engraving this time.
So after some practice and see some movies



For the lines I use a diamond point bit



And for coloring / Shadow effect I used a diamond tip



First some practice on a scrap piece and then ............. the real work
with a steady hand you'll do quite well. The first angle



In the dark, and an LED strip behind



And yesterday, the second part done. Pretty funny this engraving



And that was the update for now......you like it? I know I did

Grtzzz.

[Blarte]

[disturbed13]

[mnpctech]

Update 02-06

Today did the final touches to the engraving. Like this engraving thing
we gonna do this often







The black painted parts are also placed back



And I was brainstorming for the watercooled components. Pump and the 250mm Reservoir





The EK Supreme's with BP fittings



Reservoir next to it



We fill under the xbox drive. This gonna make a plate with a hole for reinforcement



He goes from the pump in to the first block





And from the second block he goes into the radiator, and from the radiator back to the reservoir.
And two last pictures of the hardware with window




This is it!!!

Grtzzz.
