    Medal of Honor: Warfighter

    Yes i know this is forum is mainly focused on PC modding, i have followed this site for a long time now and posted a few Xbox cases before. I get a lot of my ideas from PC modders and follow a lot of there builds. If this is in the wrong section and you would like it removed, please do so.

    New project for the month, this will be based on Medal of Honor: Warfighter developed by Danger Close and published by EA.

    The Xbox 360 motherboard will be placed inside an Ammunition Box

    I have done this before, but used two ammo boxes that were stacked on top of another. I was happy how this turned out, but I know there was plenty of room for improvements, This time going for a cleaner, single box look with a theme.

    The ammunition box will need to be shortened in length as it is too long

    Controller compared in size to the case

    I removed the rubber seal around the lid, these cases are watertight the handles are tight on this case and its not something I want to struggle with opening and closing the case.

    Some of these designs will be re done on the case once finished, as well as some Medal of Honor based text and designs

    Perfect condition inside the case

    Bought a new 4GB Xbox 360 S this week to use in the project, with the spare case I might make another built in screen for another project.

    There is a few Youtube videos showing how to take apart the Xbox 360 S. Ill show some basic pictures of opening the case.

    Pry open the top grill

    Take care when taking the faceplate off as there is a ribbon cable that will easily tear.

    Drilling out each of the small welds on the support bar, wanted a cleaner look on the case

    [​IMG]

    Pry it up and the bar should remove easily, with minimal damage to the case

    Decided I will not be chopping this case, all that work to take out a few inches does not seem worth the effort. I don't mind a larger case. Support bar left some marks, sanded back what I can and will finish off with some filler

    Sanded back the lid and a coat of primer

    Still deciding on colours, I don't want to stick to the standard green again, maybe matte black or a dark grey with the stencil lettering and maybe some engraved badges of the Danger Close and EA logo's.

    Thin coat of filler

    I think the screen based one could have used a battery pack, that way you´re kind of making a portable 360 : )

    But back on topic, why not give it a camo paintjob?

    Just did it because i could. Would prefer bigger but i want it to fit.

    Yes battery pack would be a good idea. I had a design for a screen and controller built into one piece. Now its just a copy of the new Wii.

    Camo paintjob maybe, i'm thinking a Charcoal with white text and a bit of weathering

    Small progress will have more tomorrow got some time to spend on my cases hopefully.

    Etch Primer on bare metal then finished in Primer

    Motherboard will be mounted with some stand off's, will drill and tap these into the case. The disc drive will be opening and closing inside this case, not going to make it come out the top or side this time. Maybe next time on a better sized ammo box I will try this again.

    There will be space for a controller and game cases inside. Store everything you need to play.
