Xbox Mod Part 1: Complete

Well, the case is on the Xbox and the DVD drive cover is off so you can see the disc. Unfortunately the fan didn't work properly and kept overheating so I had to unplug the lights to make it work properly. When the Whisper fans come it should work.

Xbox Mod: In Detail

I have taken that step that I have always wanted to with my xbox and... prepared to modify it in awesome and unforseen ways.

Firstly, the most readily available parts available:

The Blue Ghost Case v2 (Purchased from EBay here) £28.99 + £8.99 P&P
Next up: Talismoon Whisper Fans (With Blue LED's) (purchased from EBay here) £10.69 (FREE P&P)



Of the last (sort of) readily available parts: A Custom Blue RoL (ring of light) to replace the standard green lights on the front of the 360 for... blue ones.

Then... I had my own idea. I wanted a temperature sensor too, but the only place I had seen one for an xbox was in a custom case that was already built in. So... I ordered a PC one and the right cable to ensure its connectivity.
Basically, it will be blue and flashy and awesome. Final writeup will start tomorrow when the case (should) arrive! The rest of the parts are still payment pending or backordered or from USA :(

EDIT: Only the case has arrived. And I haven't picked it up yet. So I will probably start later today if i can be bothered to go and get it from my dads or tomorrow when he can drop it off.
