"Hi, two questions. First, how do you change the dvd drive so when you can have a see through panel and so you can see the disc spinning?

And, I have had an idea. I'm going to buy a new case, and I want to put this picture as a cut out. By the way, it looks better hand drawn. Any way, I'm either going to cut it and have a fan behind it or cut and fill in with red see through stuff I'm not sure what material at the moment, but either way I will put red leds behind them. What ever I do, please help me decide."

There. ENGLISH! Seriously, dude, PLEASE learn how to spell.
But good questions. To make the drive clear and see the disk spinning, just buy a drive cover kit. Here's one for Hitachi drives and here for Samsung drives.You will need to have a clear case on your 360 to see it, obviously.

As for the design, that's gonna be hard. You would need to cut it out of the 360 case, and put a sheet of clear plexi behind it, then you can add leds. Or you could get, lets say, white plexi and paint that red so that you have the red backing like you wanted.

With whatever you decide, good luck and remember to have fun!

AFAIK the 360 case is plastic, and to get it smooth will take ALOT of work.

[MattZani]

Its still plastic, its just covered with a Chrome effect.

Oh sorry, didn't know you were dyslexic. Just type however is easiest for you, if people can't read it then who cares, I'll change it for them. Sorry man.


And yea, no matter what,  the 360 case is plastic.
And smoothing it [plastic] out hasn't been a problem for me, I find smoothing plastic to be fairly easy. But, maybe it's just me :P
