How are all my friends doing today, hopefully everyone is doing good. I just wanted to share some pics of my 360 with 3 rows of led strips with a combined total of 27 leds, thanks Scarface for giving me this idea. I was trying to get 2 rows on the left side but it was kind of tight with the dvd drive being in the way so i settled for 3 rows. I did run into some problems along the way with lead cables i soldered under the motherboard, the 20 gauge wire i used was too thick so the motherboard wouldn't sit flush on the metal housing, therefore the power plug connector wasn't lined up properly, so i'm like geez you've got to be kidding me, there's no way i'm re-soldering these wires again. To make a long story short i ended having to shave some of the metal off the case where the power brick hooks up but in the end it all worked out nicely.. Some where along the line i'd like to install a dimmer switch, that would look cool as hell..

You should post a picture from a distance when its night time!
Did you change the ring of light leds too?
Yes definetly a distance shot at night would be in order. Maybe with it standing up? That would be a cool view I think. _________________________________________________________

I agree those blue lights look great. They are sort of ambient and cool looking.
