Yes if the console leaves the surface it's sitting on the alarm will go off. Unsuspecting victim will not realize that there is a tiny button hidden under the console. And those alarms are ear piercing loud!

There is a reed switch in these which will be instead replaced with a button. The alarm costs about $20

Some button batteries are included in the alarm. This mod is so easy. All that needs to be done is rewiring the reed to a button and putting it inside the case

One problem though. The 360 can be placed in 2 orientations. Vertical and horizontal. Wouldn't it need 2 alarms or a rig that would allow 1 out if 2 switches to be tripped, but when both switches ate tripped the alarm goes off?

Post by: froggy on March 16, 2010, 08:08:25 PM: Well What If You Cant Find Them :fear:

Couldnt He Just Put A Switch To Set The Alarms Like 1 For When It Is Standing Up, And 1 For When Its Laying Down, And Belive Me He Will Remeber Because It Will Go Off, Just A Thought!

Can connect 2 switches in parallel. As long as one is pressed the alarm stays off

Post by: bustinthejustin on March 20, 2010, 09:11:37 PM: Hmm sounds like something fun to try :D

Oh and here's a link to get something similar from DX: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27700 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27700)
Quality wise, it may not be as good, but it's almost 1/3 the price of some of those links above, which may give you more incentive to try it. :P

Post by: Hazer on March 21, 2010, 05:41:36 AM: Build one with an accelerometer. No external components. If the box moves at all, the alarm goes off.

EDIT: Oh, I was also going to mention: If there is a thief in my house, my xbox is the last thing I would need an alarm for.
