Here is my first case mod. Its basically just a plexi window and painted. The pictures arent the best because they were taken from my phone. It does have a green talismoon fan installed so it lights up in the dark.[/img]

Looks good and the cuts look smooth what did you use to cut it?

its not talent...its guts. just having the guts to start cutting onto your machine. I used a dremel with just a circular cuttoff bit (small saw blade) and basically just cut a rectangle then used a sanding bit to shapt if off. When i had the edges how i liked them, I used a brush bit to make the edges smooth. Next time I will use a smaller plastic cutting bit, it will make things quicker and easier. Actually if you were doing something like this, you could probably get away easier with a jigsaw with fine-toothed blade.

Well I don't have talent in my opinion, guts in yours I would never do that because I would probably be afraid of messing my case up, If I ever did I would have to buy a 3rd party case to do it on. But I guess I see where you say it takes guts now _________________________________________________________ 360-HQ Toolbar | 360-hq Digg news | 360-HQ Active Topics | 360-HQ Boxxet Page | My Setup

krylon fusion (paint) and rustoleum clear coat. (laquer).
Do you like the window? Does it show enough of the case? I'm just wondering if I should get this and put it on my old xboxes case or should I buy the clear ghost case. _________________________________________________________

i love it...i have always wanted on after seeing it. I dont like ghost cases honestly. I like the window with the guts lit up. I actually like just the oem white with a window cut, but I knicked mine up a bit cutting mine so I bondo'd it and then had to paint it.
