Xbox^PC

w00t i got the last part ordered today

lets see in the last two days i have ordered, a clear Xbox shell, a clear keyboard, a PS/2 to USB adapter, 3mm LEDs, a mobo, a PSU, a DVD-ROM, and a 1GB flash drive

and i got it apart with a sharp knife

 

i got the keyboard yesturday, i didn't find out til this morning, and as soon as i get my LEDs its time to mod it

 

<thought>

you should replace the controler cable with one of those usb cables with a transparent sheath. then you could put an LED array behind the USB port and cause somewhat of a fiber optic effect with the cable and the LEDs.

</thought>

 

why, how many buttons has that got?

 

I've found a really similar mouse to the one you have except the buttons are white with some blue shining through. Best part is that it cost me £6.49

 

which usb cable you used for the xbox controler
UBS 1.1 OR USB 2.0?

 

Doesn't Matter. All usb cables are the same

 

Ok Thanks

 

update time

heres the PSU i got, its an INwin 225Watt PSU


and heres a pic of the PSU's guts



here is the PSU sitting in the Xbox case and its a perfect fit!!!!!!!!!!! w00t




hrm look a stick of ram, things are getting close to done!


and heres a shot taken through the clear top of the clear parts that i recieved, i will start to keep some of the updates more secretive just to keep you guessing

 

j/w. are you going to be putting the blue decal back on this clear case?

 

nah, i changed my mind on that, i have something else planned

 

Looks great so far, I'll be watching this closely.

 

this was probably mentioned earlier in the thread, but i cant find it. are you planning on using an AGP angle thing? or do you have a card short enough. looking great, cant wait to see it finished

 

everything seems to fit right.
hey do you got those drivers for the Xbox controller for PC?
I had them but lost theme. and it seems that I can't find them on the internet.

could you maybe give me a link or something?

by the way great work

 

so i got some stuff from SVC and stupid me, i ordered the wrong thing...

but... i found a way to make it work

first off heres what i got, 2 6" UV CCFL's and a UV reactive accent kit, i meant to get a sleeving kit


so i went to work putting it in my clear shell





and that was a quick way to use something that was incorrectly ordered

and heres a shot with the flash on, you can see all the messy wires that will be sleaeved next week

i'm using onboard video for now

 

if i remember looking at the picts, he's got on-board video on that baby!

 

Lol Nice!, why did you move to a clear Xbox shell? Now you can see its grusome insides

 

That PSU is really close the the processor. Will there be any problems with EMI?

 

why, cause the clear case looks better than the default case, and it will soon look good on the inside, probably in a week and a half after i get to order some things

 

Very nice mod so far. Definitely work on a good cable sleeving scheme to accent the insides. I think that leaving the cover off the PSU may be counter productive though. And are you planning on adding more cooling to the system besides the standard single fan that's in an XBox?
