    xbox pc finished

    well finally finished the little beast..!!
    ended up with a 120gb ssd with 2 x blue 80mm internal fans. also added 2 extra front mounted usb mounts at the front.
    running windows 7 and takes seconds to boot up.. great little pc and im so pleased with my first ever pc build...

    Looks awesome mate, Damn you got those usb headers shipped real quick.

    With the translucent + blue LED fans design, the whole thing reminds me of those sea creatures in the movie Abyss.

    Wow, looks nice! Good to see some front USB ports - how did you end up attaching them?

    What's the cooling/ventilation like? You should upload a video :)

    the front usb ports were easy to do. when they arrived i used a dremil to shave off the side bits that held the screws in and they squeezed into place. then a small blob of glue and i used the original xbox plate to hold them in place. no cooling issues as i didnt use the metal surround that the xbox has and the side vents are more than enough. 2 x 80mm led fans are probably way overkill but i just like the way they look.also modded the original eject button for the power on and off button :)

    Why is the bottom of the case white? Was that painted white? Clear xbox consoles come with a clear bottom.
