Well, ive been out of the scene for a little while work got hectic, work like 3 weeks with no days off, thats what you get when your in the military tho.. Then my grandmother passed so its been kinda a rough couple of months. But we must move on.
Ok so I'm starting a new console. The design is going to be based off my controller, here are some things I plan to do.
1. Make the DVD drive external with fully removable connections
2. Add 2 80mm fans to the top of the console to improve air flow
3. "sink" a magazine and some 45 APC rounds into the top of the case
4. add a 12 in one memory card reader into old DVD tray and hard wired to USB port ( may not do this but its on the table of things to do )
5. and finally a ton of red leds and a pulse VU 2X
Heres some pics of what ive done so far

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother bro.
As for the mods, I'm lovin' the controller. The shells are badass. I love the color choice too. Great work on the paint job too. _________________________________________________________
