ill seccond that...emphasize on the blue

 

man i dont like it when people figure out my plans and post it i was already going to do it, i'm picking up the resisters tomorow so i can get a disscount on them(i work at radio shack and my manager has to be around for me to get my discount

 

lucky Bast....well i hope ya keep on and its looking awsome so far.

 

Good work so far, however coming from the xbox background I'll tell you skins are horrible, they'll bubble and etc after awhile. I strongly reccomend you paint it. And with the LED's Radio shacks are way too much for what they are. Best Hong Kong (search for ebay shops) are the best 100 11,000 mcd white led's for $4 and 80 6000 mcd Blue led's for $8. I got mine with free shipping too. (www.xbox-scene.com) You can def get ideas there. Check out the tutorials section for help as well as the forums for other Ideas

 

i already have the LEDs from best hong kong. i'm getting the reistors at radio shack, and i am a horrible painter so for now the skin is the best think i can do

 

Excellent, Best Hong Kong is the best IMO, $5 for a 4000 mcd blue is too much

You should def try at painting it. I've paint 2 of my 3 box's

One all white with Plasti Kote Summer White from Lowe's
One with the X silver (like the skin) Rustoleum Metal Finish Aluminum

They look gorgeous. Good luck on the case

 

looks really good. good work on the controller

 

update time



i might add more later but for now i like how it looks, and by they way if you haven't figured it out, I LOVE BLUE, i cant wait to post pics of the mouse and keyboar that i am getting for this too



and then i got some mail, yeah, it was the only thing that didn't come with my xbox shell when i got it back in april, and i decided to try it on one of my drives just for fun. and i have decided to forget using a laptop CD-rom, i'm going to be getting a simple DVD-ROM to use

 

and i got more stuff today

and it lit up red, so after some modding i got

and sorry that i dont have pics of me changing the LEDs out, the file got corrupted on my memerycard of my camera, and so did a few other ones
but heres how it looks with my controller

 

man that looks sweet. j/w are you going to load something on the computer so it can play xbox games too?

 

your project seems to be coming along quite nicely, what about a power source for your PC tho???

and yes my mouse has two buttons it is a normal PC mouse. and you should see the keyboard i am getting

 

or you could just try and get the XBOX Dev unit. its clear, but i dont think your looking to spend something like $25K on it.

 

well i got some ordering done, i should have all the things i ordered within a week, and then i just need to get the CPU back from my friend and i should be good to go

 

I think I have the same mouse as you... I've been wondering how to get in to change the LED (I want a green mouse ), but it appears to be moulded together? How did you get inside to change the LED?
