"X-Box mods."

We all know that the X-Box ain't the best looking console out there, but in this months issue of XBOX world, there's a feature about people who have modified their X-Box's.

They take their Box's totally apart, and spray paint them in many different colours and designs. Some were very cool looking, and some were just totally genius. Some were sprayed, some had the big green 'jewel' removed and replaced it with a designer 'jewel', and some modified the existing jewel, and stripped the paint off to make it clear, then wired up an LED to the hard-drive, and placed it under the jewel, so that the machine glowed various colours.

There's a link in the mag that I'll put up here shortly that has all the modded box's featured.

So has anyone here designed their X-Boxes? I quite fancy doing something myself if I can find the strength to dismantle the best console in my collection.

:)

spray painting an xbox?

this person in the magazine obviously had way too much time on his hands.

sad git.

And wings. And a propeller. It'll be....

AN ASTONISHING FLYING MACHINE!!!

You can save songs on the x box so you don't need cd's. I think some games have a feature to play your own music in game if it's in the hardrive.

My Xbox still says "55,000+ blocks left" so i've got quite a bit of space.

heh... My brother put about 400 tracks on and still had 5500+ blocks left :D

55 000*

I don't think anyone has actually hit the barrier where it goes below 55000

no, lol

Heh, you can play xboxlive with a mod-chip, there's a switch to turn the switch off, so you can have your xbox in its original state, and in regards to the HDD, just means I can rent or borrow a game and burn it to the HDD, then it's mine forever(unless the drive explodes), and load times are uber fast, games like morrowind benefit from this, geez that game has 5 minute loading times, I swear. If you don't like it, don't get it? :|

Oh yeah, the chip has loadsa applications, a dongle-free dvd player(saves me from buying that dvd control), a media player, in which you can watch avi, mpegs, play mp3s and god know's what else, view pictures, and yes before you have the urge to say ''it's practically a pc'' then you would be sortof right, and yes, that's exactly what microsoft didn't want it to be. ;/

No one's managed to get below 55,000 blocks 'cos apparently there's like 300,000 blocks on the HD. So you'd need a s**tload of games, a s**tload of music and a s**tload of time to fill it.
