Case Mod - In Progress [ Project ] Lian Li Xbox Slim Liquid Cooled (Selling on eBay time for a new project)

Sorry im only familiar with the PHAT Xbox , How do you know its the Disk drive ? is there a secondary code ? As on the PHAT ones you could Hold the Sync Cable and Tap the eject button

 

That sucks, but apart from this beauty, I hate the Xbox, so I can't be of help.

 

Wow, a great mod. Sooo cooool. Hope you sort out the disk problem. May be the front panel with USB 3.0 interferes? I mean the original one was with USB 2.0 header?

And I don't know if you have decided on a window yet, but I am thinking, don't make it square or rectangle or square with round edges. It's so simple- won't look good on this kind of thing. Any other shape will do: something like CM storm enforcer window? or Corsair 800D? or Thermaltake V5- it's a strange window (it will show the WC only) or some kind of "X" in some shape. Anyway I can't w8 to see this thing finished.

 

1st rule of modding: make one modification - check compatibility/working state...

 

All Fixed. Sata Cable was plugged into the HDD Sata Port ( Just below the disc drive sata port ).

I honestly thought i double checked everything. Was just about to strip it down and test everything.

 

Ahh glad you got it sorted mate , Well done !

 

Mounted the 2 Momentary Switches, i couldnt spend the $40+ on Black Vandal switches.

Filled the original holes to fit the 19mm Switches

5 Weeks till i become a father, so i need to start putting in the time to finish this build.

 

nice one , They look just as good as Vandal , to be fair ,

Any plans on getting some new feet such as the MNPC tech ones ?

Gratz on becoming a father , =)

 

I/O Plate

Starting work on the rear of the case. I would prefer some thinner aluminium but its what i could get for free at work. I was going to use 2 pieces and place them between the original rear part of the case. Still not 100% sure what i will be doing. Will be painted black when finished.

 

Just fits, i managed to squeeze the aluminium behind the case and the motherboard for a nice and clean finish, looks better then having it on the outside of the case, i will try and get some thinner aluminium and re cut to fit better.

 

ive just got this case and its nice to see people like yourself playing with it and doing something a little different

intrested to see how it turns out !

 

Your project along with me playing a lot more Xbox Live lately has got me itching to do a small personal project based around a slim Xbox ozzy! Could you do me a huge favour and post accurate dimensions of the Xbox slim motherboard? Component height doesn't matter, just the width and breadth. Thanks! Your project is looking good

[edit]

I've found "approximate" dimensions of the board online - roughly 214mm x 214mm is what I've got, but I need accurate dimensions for my SolidWorks model!

 

Hmmm, interesting.

 

Side Window

Wasnt sure if i was going to go with a window but i went with something small and not over the top. Might in the future make a complete perspex side panel as a spare.





Bought myself a Dremel 300, definatly worth spending the money



Cut smaller then your marks and spend the time filing. Makes all the diference in having a nicer window / finish.





Etch Primed the edges and then will finish with a coat of matte black around the edges.

 

Finished the window, it looks better then the photos show.

Just playing around with the camera

 

More work on the rear plate, cut away some of the PCI brackets





File



Very rough fitting, just getting an idea of how it will all go together.

 

Looking good. What are you going to do about the PSU hole?

 

PSU hole looks like the perfect place for an on/off switch for the lighting, maybe a small controller for the cooler fan?

Coming along nice mate. Keep it up! Its taking FOREVAR!

 

PSU hole i have the original plate that goes there, ill place some tinted perspex behind there and in the window.

 

Perspex Window in the back. Side window was done, but i dont think im happy with it yet so i won't be posting just yet.
