360 for a change :)

as title says, i got this thing for a change, paid 15 euros iirc (i've been sitting on it for a while)

im not really a fan of xboxes so i've never even used it, but since it was white it didnt fit my set of machines at all.
Got a little bored yesterday and decided that the target of my boredom for the day was my 360

It's nothing wonderous, a charcoal/matte black paintjob and the dark(er) top+bottom, HDD and drivetray from the fugly halo3 box i had (it was broken anyway)
the memory unit doors and power button are from the halo box too, it's better to have them black than to paint them

here you go, hope you like it

 

Very nice, great job! What's next? Maybe RGH?

The gold bezel looks good with the matte black though, stands out rather nicely.

 

i've actually been meaning to mod this for ages, but i have literally never dealt with boxes before, so no idea on this one
Agree with the bezel, it's a nice detail, though it was a shame to junk the halo box since it's a limited edition, despite the fact that it's awfully ugly

there's only one game im interested of running on it anyway, so in that sense it's not a big deal, but i remember hearing somewhere that atleast back in the day, the game images had to be so called 1:1 dumps
or the console would refuse them.
the thing is i absolutely have to get it to run a modified game.

Either way, i'll be poking at modding it sometime when im bored again

 

You would just need to mod the firmware of the DVD drive (but I think this is piracy talk, so I won't say anymore)

 

yeah, i know, not asking for advice, i think i can figure it out when i feel like actually trying.

 

If it's an older 360, it's cake don't even need special drivers or cards. I modded mine to prevent scratched disks since I collect ps3/xbox games (like I collect my anime.) Nice work on the mod though! I have that ugly halo 360, was my first one infact...if that was the drive out of it, I can confirm it's modifiable.

 

the drive in this one isnt from the halo machine (even though i do have that too) it's just the copper tray bezel i took from it
are the drives even interchangeable ?

as for this unit, it's a standard white one, pretty old, but i dont remember the drive or board revision. I did check those when i bought this but it's been a while

 

Great paint job! The copper tray is much nicer than the silver one on my Elite model

 

They are sorta kinda, they have unique keys on them.
