Don't try to tape around the power button, remove it properly. Just insert a flat blade or hobby knife underneath and pop each of the 3 points. Tape the ribbon cable and the power button up and then its ready for primer.





Hour and 15 minutes ready for primer. Light sand with 400 grit paper to give the primer something to stick too.





When cutting the section out for the screen ( or a basic window mod ) keep an idea where the mounting points and clips go on, don't cut these out of the case, the case won't be a good fit after you start cutting these out.



Lay some tape down before you cut on the plastic with a Dremel, as you cut the plastic melts back onto the case and more work is needed to take it off again. With the tape it melts on to that and peels off easily. All little things like this save you a heap of prep and sanding work.





Tight fit.

Styrene sheeting used around the edges so I can raise the screen out and have it sit level.

You should sell them. I bet you would make a lot of money.

Half way mark now 6 hours into the build, I'm not spending all my time on this doing other things in between.

Drilled the two holes for the 3.5mm headphone / speaker jack and the switch for the component output.



Almost finished smoothing out the frame, one more skim coat of filler and its ready for primer. still not sure on colour, I might just end up painting it black, have less then an hour till the shops close for paint. Ill keep making these so I can paint it different another time.

....Woh... That's pretty freaking sweet. Does it ever get too hot though? I mean you have a screen heating the inside too so I'm just wondering how cool is it usually?

How many xbox 360's have you bought? I always see this amazing stuff from you. Have you ever sold any of them?

Wouldn't it be better for air flow to shorten those wires for the screen instead of bundling them up.

Looks amazing, nice work.
