SiK_WiD_iT, thank you bro! I'm pretty happy with this color also, its a metallic blue paint by Duplicolor with metal flakes in it.. You can find it at Autzone or Advanced, it's that easy to find. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

very very nice i really like the windows very unique, i like the colour as well, really like the metallic blue colour...tho personally i would have gone slightly darker...but thats personal taste i guess! the metal flakes are sweet! i may just spray my case instead forking out on a replacement!

bomernee, thank you for the compliment bro.. Like you said it's alot cheaper doing it on your own, I actually do like have one XCM case and it's the white knight case with the X cutout on it, very nice case and I love it.. Problem is the XCM cases can get expensive, I used to have 2 clear ones but I got tired of looking at them plus it seems like everyone has the same damn clear case everywhere you turn. Guess I wanted a change from the ordinary so I decided to paint both of my cases, one red and the other blue. Ohh by the way, actually this color looks darker indoors and lighter outside with direct sunlight, I'll take a few pics in my house to see if you still see a difference.. I actually prefer a darker blue also, this one has 2 coats of primer, 4 coates of paint, and 2 coats of clear.. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

Thank you frozenfire, when it comes to these types of mods I'm still a rookie! Hey it's something to think about though, there is always somebody that wants mod work done.. I do some Xbox 360 repairs and PC repairs for people locally and they seem to appreciate the work because they keep coming back to me, that's gives me some extra money on the side as well.. Most of the people that I work with at Delta Air Lines here in Atlanta are afraid of mod work because they are afraid of voiding there damn warranty or they want to wait till they buy a second console for online purposes. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

Thats how I am. I don't want to screw anything on mine, espically since I don't have the moolah to get a new one. But it looks wonderful! I wish I had talent like that, lol _________________________________________________________ ~*~GCGUY~*~

Opening the 360 case and doing case mods is really not that risky, what's risky is when you start flashing the drive and putting a soldering iron in there.. That's where you can really screw things up if your not careful, then again there are over a million tutorials and posts by our members here on flashing drives and modding the 360.. I would suggest you read the the tutorials section A-Z and get all the info you can, if that's not enough I'm here to help and so are the rest of our members here.. Once you get over the initial fear of opening the 360 up and flashing your first drive, your pretty much on your way and you start losing that fear of screwing things up. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

The warranty sticker can be removed with a blow dryer carefully to heat up the adhesive on the sticker, you can also purchase a warranty sticker on ebay if your really worried about the warranty. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3
