Xbox Mods

My gamertag is King Pin67 if you want to play me.

Hear are some pictures and short descriptions of my Xbox.

I switched a couple wires so half is red and half is green.  You need to switch wires 7 and 8 on the main panel plug.

Controller port lights coming soon,

EL wire goes through out the whole thing.  It even surrounds the bottom and lights up the underneath of the Xbox all blue.

This is a picture of the plug that you need to switch the wires on.

That's the main processor. Intel Celeron 700 MHz

That would be the hard drive.  8 gig western digital.

This is what it looks like when you first open it,

Processor and GPU bridge heat sinks.

I changed the OEM fan to an Antec blue LED so it runs cooler with the big hard drive and also looks cool.

The fan mod was the hardest yet, there is allot of cutting involved. I went through 2 fans doing this.

My next mods will include putting both H.D.D lights like on a computer so when the hard drives is accessed it will blink like a computer.  Also I am going to put an internet activity light right next to the hard drive light so when you are on Xbox live it will blink showing internet activity.  I would like to replace the standard top Xbox jewel with a clear one and I want to put leds or a cold cathode in it so it lights up.  Then I am going to make the power button blue and the controller ports will light up blue too.
