[shwaggy]

Here is my 360 so far Im actually scrapping the whole case to turn in into a simpsons case pretty soon but will keep you updated on it. Plus Im getting lots of stuff this friday from llamma like new fan,duct,cathodes,leds for ring of light and a couple other things I cant think of now... What do you think?

yeh i've seen this on three websites now, on 360mods, acidmods and youtube. that is a really good mod. what paint did you use. i wouldnt mind doing the cut again and using the material you told me but i need a case lol. thanks for comment.

one thing do you no your drive how did you stick that circle thing which goes on top of the drive. did you stick it or something.

looks good man

Thanks. I actually took the same thing (lexan) that I used for the case and cut a piece to fit on top of the drive. Then I cut the circle out of the original metal top casing and painted the individual pieces to match then screwed it to the lexan using tiny screws.. Gives it a floating look and was super fun to do

The reason I used lexan is for one its clear and two it absorbs heat. Ill post you a pick of the actual dvd drive here in one sec.

edit: Paint was rustoleum matte black and then shiny red.

hey man just finished cutting the plexi to the size of the drive and i am stuck on how to screw the plexi to the drive, also how do i take out that cap thing from my original drive. the one in your picture which is painted red and stuff, did you stick that there or you left it to spin with the drive. from what i think its sticking on the plexi.

thanks

He's using long bolts that go beside the holes on the side of the drive and has drilled a hole in the tabs next to those holes with nuts on the bottom to hold the lid down. Looks like he cut the lid on his old drive lid to get the part that the disk magnet sits in and covered it with lexan and drilled small holes for some really small screws to hold that in place. Thats just what I get from looking at the pics but I could be wrong on that.

What he said... the middle part I dremeled out and screwed down onto the middle of the lexan. Be careful you get the exact middle take some measurements before you throw it on there.. The black and read pieces inside the red piece should move freely. It has a magnet that connects to the disc.. and allows to spin. Hope that helps.. Good look.. be sure to post me with updates.. Srry took so long to reply

[parminder]

neh man reply is just fine, bit still unclear about the bolts and stuff but i will come up with something and give an update.
thanks
