Well I have a few xboxs laying around that I need to find a use for.

Im wondering if anyone has any ideas for a custom edition xbox. (certain map as the window, etc)

The colorscheme at the moment is blue.


The other xbox I did didnt turn out too well, but it was a two day job.

Make it Delta Halo styled.
Like, In halo 2, theres the style of art that went into the UI. (the circle loading symbol, the scolling signs in the backround, the certain forerunner angles, etc)
I, too have a custom paint job I did on my xbox. I would get some pictures of my 2 paint jobs, and my paint jobs on my controllers, but my camera is now where to be found =(

Tails is too much of a wimp and has a girl's voice. Seriously.

Any idea as to the shape? something forerunner maybe? draw me up some ideas.

I buy my boxes RROD for $60 and fix them.
Usually I resell for $200ish, but I've ran out of people haha.

I'm just curious. Are you sending them to M$ or fixing them yourself?

Fixing myself.

Why send to an evil corporation when it takes 35 seconds to permanently fix RROD.

Because if you have a warranty it's covered? And opening up the Xbox is against the warranty?

I've had my 2nd Xbox for 10 months now and it has only gotten the 3 red rings when my power surged.

Doesn't really matter, he can do what he wants. Some people don't realize when you upgrade you PC your voiding the warranty. I'm not saying you don't, I'm just mentioning it.

Thats why your build your own pc, and your responsible for what you do to it.

Sorry about the lack of updates, ive had customer boxes to work on





Ill try to get the halomaps box cut and sanded today.

Ive heard pepole carve thier computers into panels into thier wall. Maybe you can make a HaloMaps influenced peice of wall in your room and put an Xbox in it.

Thats not a good idea, a computer/xbox needs somewhere to exhaust its heat to so that it doesnt overheat. Especially a 360.

Could always watercool it. Wow, my cut was very bad, grinding/sanding might take a little bit.

Wow, cuts look terrible, but im not bothered enough to fix them, will probably paint tomorrow.

He changed the LEDs in the front and added some inside. Maybe replaced the built in fan with a LED fan?
