Definitely keep us informed and be sure to post some pictures.

Not much is on the web about this and would be good to see something on it!

Most people use photoshop to make them, but you can also use a free program called gimp.

OMG! That looks amazing bro! Very Happy Is it just my imagination or do you still have plenty of room in case with all the 360 internals in there? Anyhow yeah going by your fan specs that bad boy shouldnt get above 70 degrees! You still going to install the watercooling system? Anyhow just wanted to tell you how sweeet that system looks. Good Job and keep us posted on anything new! I for one can honestly say I can't wait!
Very Happy

Yeah dude that is going to be sweet. Do the 360 holes line up with the PC case?

I think you will have to mod your cable for the DVD drive to extend it, I'm pretty sure it is fairly unique to the system.

Not sure what your asking about for the power problem, either your going to have to chop up the power cable so you can extend it and fit it into your PC case (might be a good idea to buy an intercooler and cut that off, because that could be easily extended) Your still going to need a standard 360 power brick (unless you mod it for an ATX pc power supply)

Also make sure you make some sort of fan shroud or something for the heat sinks as they do heat up quickly

Any questions feel free to ask,


Best Regards,
Frozenfire1

For the power button you would have to solder the connectors of your PC power button to the front board (not to hard, if you can solder) as for the DVD drive my guess is your best bet is to splice the wire and extend it. I'm not the guy to ask as to how to do that but talk to Burner, or another member and they should know


Best Regards,
