Guys,

Whas thinking about making my original 360 look sexy from the outside..
Dont really have money to spend on it yet, so i thought let me start looking around anyway...

Now if i check 1 of the best dutch modding sites www.kamwen.com i see some nice cases like this one:

Sorry, can only put link, picture is protected so cant really take it to show here. But question is, is it a bit overcharged at 80 euro???
Anywhere cheaper, these kind of cases??

Thanx for the replys

Some of the cases you can buy are nice, but for the price of some of them you could buy another xbox.

Looking around a bit, don't think you will get it cheaper than that, and if you did, it wouldn't be by much

I'd rather buy one though than do it myself as i know i would make a dogs arse out of it.

Found a pic elsewhere.

Thanx for the rep Div..

So you'd be saying that's not overpriced? It's not that i dont want to spend that money on a nice case, but with those prices i feel like modding my original case myself Razz

Like going to the workshop cut a big hole in the case and fill it with plexi or something like that Very Happy

Dunno what i'm gonna do yet, i do know i need a colour change fast..
I have a white 360 with al my other equipment black (tv, stereo, furniture etc.)

They are a little overpriced i think really, but when you sit down and take the time to make your own it really adds up to the same.. Time vs. Money.

Here is a list of the Xbox 360 Cases we have in our hardware database on 360-HQ.. I think some of the cases even include the price and a link.

true about the time vs money hobbs...
Well i'm getting more excited by the minute!!!
And yeah, i'm checking local store prices on plexi, paint etc..
Hell yeah i'm gonna mod myself, only thing i need to borrow is a dremel..
Just thinking about paint colour, as long as it is dark, because the rest of my equipment is black...
Hard choices to make, i'm shure to put a led that can change colours with remote in.. i saw one on the net!!
I'm a dude on a mission now, i just got a life!! lol Razz
