So far I only have my plans drawn, waiting to get my cutting tools tomorrow and then once I get it all cut and sanded down I will be starting my paint job. I have flat black and a mystery color planned for this xbox so hopefully it turns out good. [Only said mystery color because I haven't picked one out yet, flat black and orange is what I have planned for my xbox once I do it though] So for right now this all I have so far:

That is what I plan for my window to look like. (Sorry the picture isn't good, only have a cell phone for a camera :\)

P.S. Suggest are more then welcome so if you have any pointers or ideas for me please post them in this thread.

yea its good lookin i did mine with 2 windows.

continue posting pics while your working on it

Monk3y · « **Reply #3 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:14:45 PM »

I'm going to. I was only waiting because I don't have a dremel or anything so my dad is getting his router from his work so I can do the cutting. If i don't think I can cut the right holes with it then I'm going to ask around and get a dremel off of someone.

whuthefxk · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2010, 02:37:12 PM »

the V shapes remind me of an X-Clamp rofl!

Monk3y · « **Reply #5 on:** July 21, 2010, 06:29:53 PM »

Sorry I am being so delayed guys, dad keeps forgetting the router. whu I am actually going to change the V shape a little but it will still have around the same look. Just extending it.

EDIT: Changed the design slightly but figured I will post it up anyways...

Here's an update:

Cut the case, haven't sanded yet though. Gonna work on sanding for the next hour or so and if it's done by then I'll post another pic.

Got it completely sanded down, ready for base paint now.

I'll reply.... Wow nice work looking real good!!!!

falo21 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:40:48 PM »

looking good i might do something like this i like that.for the sanding to get it ready for the pain job what type of sand paper did you use.

young mone · « **Reply #8 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:50:12 PM »

looks ok so far cant wait to see the finished product

Monk3y · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:59:57 PM »

falo I used one of the bits I had for my dremel but for a finer finish just used a finer sand paper, nothing that's gonna make it look all scraped up even after you paint it. Just enough to smooth the edges all around. I don't exactly know the grit type of the sandpaper I used so thats why I just gave you ideas on when you pick your sand paper.

EDIT: also thank you guys for the rest of the feedback, I appreciate it.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #10 on:** July 24, 2010, 09:38:51 AM »

Nice like the cut out design.

toadzilla · « **Reply #11 on:** July 25, 2010, 01:28:24 AM »

hey let me k now what type of window u use weather it be plastic or glass i've been thinking of doing a case like that just dont know what to use also its looking pretty nice

Monk3y · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2010, 09:25:03 AM »

@Toad: I am just using some plexi glass we had laying around in our garage. I'm using a dremel to cut out how big of a piece I need.

Well I got the case and controller all painted up. I haven't gotten to finish the secondary part yet though because the other spray paint I bought wasn't krylon fusion but some model spray paint and it wouldn't stick so now I am waiting to get a couple bucks to buy the color of krylon fusion off ebay because my local walmart does carry it. I'm hoping within a week I will have it completely done but I've been getting delayed a lot :P

Just to let you guys know, I am taking these pictures with a 2MP camera so the paint and stuff might look crappy in the pic but it's actually really smooth in person.

l0rdnic0 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:50:22 AM »

Looking good dude!!

HypeXx · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2010, 02:08:04 PM »

No , its looking GREAT!!.

Monk3y · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2010, 08:33:08 PM »

Thanks for the feedback guys, need some opinions now though. Ok in my other pictures you see the two small triangles on the front of my case, originally they were gonna be part of the window but I decided to turn them into vents. So with them being vents I needed something to style them up a bit so I have 3 styles for my vents (as shown in the picture). 1. Being an "M" on the left vent and a "3" on the right vent [being my internet name initials (also not yet cut out)], 2. being lined vents, 3 being circular vents. SO help me out and tell me which I should use.

DARk_ANGEL · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:09:33 PM »

i think you should pick the lined vents and put led lights in it.

gunner7553 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:18:54 PM »

Go with the lined vents they look so much better

.

HypeXx · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2010, 04:20:41 AM »

Yeah use the lined vents.

Monk3y · « **Reply #19 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:36:49 AM »

Thank you for the 3 people that replied on which vents I should use, I have finally ordered the correct spray paint I needed off of ebay yesterday so I will finally be able to finish my case within the next couple days, so keep yourself updated on this thread for my next post when I post the other painted pieces and then my final product.

bozoy · « **Reply #20 on:** August 07, 2010, 02:12:31 PM »

whuthefxk · « **Reply #21 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:05:08 PM »

lines with leds through it will look sick

Monk3y · « **Reply #22 on:** August 10, 2010, 04:30:12 PM »

Modded Matt · « **Reply #23 on:** August 11, 2010, 10:50:56 AM »

this looks cool man. not my favorite choice of colors, but the work looks great!! keep up the good work.

eNeRGy · « **Reply #24 on:** August 11, 2010, 12:09:07 PM »

I love the vents idea they just add that extra something something that the xbox needs.

Monk3y · « **Reply #25 on:** August 11, 2010, 12:15:37 PM »

Thanks matt and energy for the feedback

I will show you guys a sketch of my new case project either later today or tomorrow. It's only a sketch on paper at the moment.

StoopidMunkee · « **Reply #26 on:** August 11, 2010, 12:33:53 PM »

Looks good but dont like the peach color
other then that it looks really nice. good job.

Mogler · « **Reply #27 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:36:37 PM »

came out awesome man! , just a suggestion u should replace the ROL with red LEDs that would look sick.

Monk3y · « **Reply #28 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:48:37 PM »

Munkee, the peach color was the closest thing I had to a neon orange from Krylon Fusion. It was supposed to be neon orange but orbviously it's a lot darker then I hoped it to be.

Mogler, I plan to make the ROL with orange LEDs along with orange LEDs around the window and clear LEDs to shine through the vents.

toadzilla · « **Reply #29 on:** August 11, 2010, 02:30:50 PM »

looks good dude

Cookie Monster · « **Reply #30 on:** August 11, 2010, 02:38:02 PM »

Someone somwhere should so do Black with purple pulsing LEDs

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #31 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:39:27 PM »

THats Toasty looking monkey. =P Good job, but did you fix that scratched paint?

Monk3y · « **Reply #32 on:** August 11, 2010, 04:17:00 PM »

Nah Fookz, I decided to leave it because you can't tell unless you look really closely. Plus it was my first one so I figured screw it I'll do better on my next one. Hopefully in a couple months I can send my xbox to you as well, no money atm :\

Phantom · « **Reply #33 on:** August 11, 2010, 07:12:45 PM »

Those vents look good, will be better when everything is lit up

Monk3y · « **Reply #34 on:** August 11, 2010, 07:26:57 PM »

Plans for my other xbox case cut, nuff said. :P

eNeRGy · « **Reply #35 on:** August 11, 2010, 08:25:36 PM »

Cool a NOS xbox. I used to drink NOS but Monster is better. If I may suggest that you make the xbox have all the major energy drink maker's logos on it. Here is a pic of what it would be kinda like.

The Rockstar is skethy because i edited the RStar logo in like 3 min on gimp lol.
after all just a suggestion.

If you make these just to sell then this would appeal to more than just people who loke NOS if you know what i mean.

bozoy · « **Reply #36 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:42:00 AM »

Sick job man! Can't wait for mine to be done! The wait for lights is horrible!

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #37 on:** August 12, 2010, 07:49:24 AM »

Oh nice!

BUDDHA_123 · « **Reply #38 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:54:48 AM »

it looks amazing

Monk3y · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:34:05 PM »

I really appreciate the feedback everyone, definitely is making me want to customize my other xbox. Thanks for the suggestion Energy and I have brought that into thought before but I decided I just wanted to do a real unique NOS xbox and make it look good on it's own just to show up you monster addicts :P

eNeRGy · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:47:32 PM »

Lol ok I guess Ill have to tell my 12 cases of Monster they dont have an xbox to play with just yet.
