    The idea was to make the xbox smaller and lighter, I dont really need a dvd drive always hooked up so that was the first to go, I have evox loading and a bios that doesnt check for the drive. Here is what I have so far, I cut the top too much as you can see, So theres going to be a lot of bondo going in there.
    Sorry for the bad images, they are taken with a sony EyeToy, Ill get a real digital camer out and take some more pics asap.

    For the back I'm going to use tinted acrilic and just cut holes for the av and network, I have a wireless adapter thats going in ther and the atenna will stick up and out the back, that will, by far, be the coolesst part.

    This is a shot from the side of the top, its really smooth:

    Here's the bottom, I actually left places for the screws to still go in around the sides:

    Here you can compare one of my other xboxs to this one, not TOO much smaller, but its a lot lighter with no dvd drive:

    I bet the bondo weighs a bit :)
    looks good, although a custom case would be far more size efficient as you could plan it so you use every square inch inside it :p

    Forgive me for being a n00b but I assume when you say wireless adaptor you mean network, how do you go about adding one of those to an xbox?

    Actually, I have 4, but one of them is broken. One is my original, another I bought broken and fixed, and the third I got from somone at microsoft who was "cleaning out their closet and found an extra"

    4th I dont think I'll be able to repair.

    Gonna start painting in a few minutes.
