    Ok. Haven't posted here before, but am going to catch up on my current projects. This is an stock xbox case that is going to get a DVD-window, hardwired dvd-dongle and an LCD-display.

    The black is going to be cut for the dvd-cutout...
    [​IMG]

    and here you see my cleared jewel, not polished yet :S
    [​IMG]

    to the left will be the "eye" for the remote and on the right the ejectbutton should fit fine.. in the middle where the ejectbutton used to be, a lcd-display will be fitted behind a mirror.
    [​IMG]

    the front is sanded down and ready to paint (the only thing left is the small plate infront of the display/powerbutton)
    [​IMG]

    Cutout for the jewel and started with the dvdcutout.

    The lcd is testmounted

    DVD-dongle is completely dismantled and ready to soldier in, also I traded in a x-bit chip (as if I am thrilled about that *NOT*).

    I have also polished the dvd-cutout some..

    This is how you should do a jewel-hole :rock:

    Almost finished the dvd-cutout..

    Here is the front details, with the hole for the LCD.

    The dark paint of the top.

    and the front quickly assembled..

    Painted the eject and power button symbols..
    [​IMG]

    after that I modded the front inside..
    [​IMG]

    and finaly, here is the front all put togheter..
    [​IMG]

    the top, with paint finished

    the front, with paint finished

    the side, with paint finished
    [​IMG]

    Painted the dvd-remote, just have to wait for some "transfer letters" or "rub-on letters" to put the text back on the remote before clearcoating it, so the text wont wear off.

    This is how far I have come, more to come.. awaiting parts :duh:

    my fault, fixed now... linked to the bigger .png files instead of .jpg :wallbash:

    anything that xbox media center can display, like temperature, free mem, currently playing things etc.

    Damn xbox modding sure has come along way from when it first came out. When I first put an OpenXbox chip in mine I had it in a static bag taped to the side...
