the window looks quite cool, but that box stuck to it makes it look totally ass.

^ agree with that, the other thing is the edges around the window still look a bit wonky and ruff - go to your local hardware store and pick up a cheap file then get some 600grit sandpaper, makes really nice edges

ye i tuck the advice and sanded it down some more with fine sand papper (nailfile) and the bonetscoop (box) isnt that big it sloops down to the back but you cant see that in the pic its more for stoping any crap geting in the fan but it def looks a lot beter now iv fine sanded it also got most of my lights today so al b reading a lot of this forum

I would rotate the scoop 90 degrees counterclock wise . that would aim the pickup port to the bottom....and loose the jagged stuff or paint it red (It doesn't look like it's busting out of the box). if thats what you were trying to do. well not yet....I know it's a mod in progress. Hopefully it's not finished and you never have to send it back to M$  ....hehe 

peace,

i turnd the scoop all around and that was the best posishion for where it sits under my tv and to make it look like it was melting out the xbox have you got any idead on how to make it look more realistic and ye i hope i dont have to send it back to this is my 3rd 360 since lonchday they all deid coz of over heating  this is why iv put the fan ther hopfully it will work and this will be my last 360 anymore ideas on how to make the scoop look like it melting out the 360 would be great help

[jamo25]

lol top loading. back in the day. for a long time i used a composite monitor hooked to a vcr for tuner best picture I used to get with sdtv.

[jamo25]

ello iv taken the advice i was never 100% on the scoop my self i just needed a push to take it all to bits and change it but anyway i have and i like it alot more now what do you think? and is it wise or not to drill some small hols in the window abouv the cpu ??

[BurnOmatic]

wholy $#!t , it looks like the Virgin Mary !!!

[jamo25]

lol i cant win lol  it wont whene its got its blue glow ................holysh!t it will  its a sine

[sentinel0]

Did you do you cutting with a dremel if so what attachments did you use?

[jamo25]

ello i used the grinding and sanding bits then spent the next to days sanding it by hand with a pack of nailfiles and some fine sandpaper you have to cut it ruf first on slow speed then sand it more stright on a highr speed then clean it all up by hand thats what i did anyway still not finished yet tho

Hey, mucho better.

I hope you know that by adding lights to the unit it will generate more heat inside....prolly minute tho

also the addition of a fan draws more power (amps) and the motor generates more heat. but if you can offset the amp/heat gen by heat removed, your golden.

I have a friend that heated his room all 05/06 winter on his first box.....never opened it....finally gave up the ghost with the 0102 error in the summer. got it replaced and heated his room all last winter.

The Point here: they work much like little space heaters....hot in the winter, which is great....hot in summer....very bad.  I don't know any people that run heaters in the summertime.

If your looking for the melting up out. I would say you need bubbles around the external fan how you acheive this ???ionno. be creative!

originally I thought you were going for the hotrod look and sugested some red paint and point down the scoop so dirt or trash couldn't get in. but see that your casket of heat needs fresh air. with everything you have in there.

overall: Starting to look good....you going to do anything with the front? the side with the blue looks kool...allmost tribal....but if mine I would rotate the layout 180 degree's either way to show more of the ODD tray mod.

peace,

 i would like to change the onn/off switch to blue and iv got some red wisper fans orderd just to ad a bit more color then after that i dono what to do dont wont to over do it but it might need painting i scraped the scoop if it was a bit smaler it would of been ok but it was buging me and a few poeple didnt like it so it had to go but it was fun atemting to have a scoop melting out of the 360 just sham it didnt work very well anyway i think ill just instal a smaller fan on the inside next to the cpu
