Last night I was finally able to get rid of those stupid memory card slots. I did it without having to de-solder the connections. I removed the metal casing around the ports and from there was able to pull the port off without damaging anything.The xbox works perfectly fine without them, absolutely no errors.

BYE BYE MEMORY CARD SLOTS!:

Today I received my LEDs and LED holders to use for the player and power indicators. I got 1 white 5mm LED to use as the power indicater and 4 5mm LEDs that can switch between white or red for the player indicators. The player indicators will be red and turn white for error codes.

The LEDs and holders:

Tonight I was able to get my 5v to 12v toggle fan switch. I am going to the hardware store this week to pick up liquid electrical tape because I hate normal electrical tape and don't feel like using heatshrink. The 5v power source comes from the normal fan and the 12v source comes from the molex I installed and I used the 3pin to molex adapter that came with the fan.

The fans, wiring, and switch:

Spend the extra time and make it look nicer, heatshrink please. No use doing a project and not finishing it properly.
