I just finished painting the case today so tomorrow I will be gluing the double plexiglass windows.. The paint I used was a metallic burnt copper, these pictures don't do it any justice, the paint looks better in direct sunlight but I've got to work with what I've got..

Do you guys think a combination of Amber and Blue led's would look good with this color?? That's what I've got in mind, amber on the top side and blue on the bottom side.. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

God damn it Elusiv, why do you keep taunting me with your sick case mods
I feels like sending you a shell to do one for me.
But I'd have to justify it to the ball and chain
Looks sweet bro, Defiantly use amber LED'S for the top.
I would use ambers on the base as well, keeps with your colour scheme.
I need to see photo's when you are done, keep us posted _________________________________________________________ Mattster

im keen to see the final product either way man.. Hey also, would you mind uploading a heap of your case mod pics to your GALLERY area in your profile if you havent already.. I want to test adding new catgeories.. So our VIP members can sort their photos and have unlimlted pics etc.
Our VIPS will soon be getting alot of extra options on our sites in the near future.. Ive been coding my guts out and don't want to lose the kick ass friends and family we have made here on HQ.
and thanks for sharing man, its people like you who truly give back their time.. Time is the most valuable thing..
Im hoping the HQ's last longer then all of us live and we will be a part of history.. I pay heaps for server costs and backups so never fear we wony lose of life.. hahahahah lmfao
btw.. rambling again for all those following my posts.. These meds are great.. wowowowowow.. dont stand up hobbs!..hahaha _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Hey Hobbs, thank you for doing what you do brother!! Keeping these servers running is no easy task,, let me know if you ever need any donations or anything if your ever in a bind to keep us running till we are old and gray!! I try to contribute to the site as much as possible but I can always do more., I'd be more then happy to. Can you imagine a bunch of old f**cks like us modding at the age of 50, that would be physically challenging wouldn't it!! Not sure about having a steady hand at that age, only when it's a female involved of course!!lol I'd probably have soldering iron burns all over my arms, legs, and ass!!lol hobbs you'll have to change the name to Medicaid HQ or something like that!!lol I can do this stuff forever that's how much fun I'm having right now. On the serious tip, I'll start updating my photo gallery asap.. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

Here's a pic of the case top and bottom with the windows in.. Still waiting on the faceplate, top and bottom grills, and the hard drive shell to dry out... This is just a prototype because I'm still waiting on my amber led's to come in, then the top and bottom plus the ROL will be amber.. I've got some red and blue led's in there right now till the other ones arrive, kind of clashes just a bit but it will work for now.

Here is the bottom window, I thinks it will look even sicker once I switch to all amber led's..
