Post by louisM92 »

Hi guys i have a friend whos HANA chip has gone so his xbox is nackered and i have an xbox which has been sprayed (looks a mess), so i asked my friend today if he want to do some case modding and he agreed, so im gunna take the guts out of my horrible cased xbox and put it into his clean cased xbox so we have a clean working xbox. Now i want to know where i can buy some tools to cut holes in case and where can i find paint that that will not come off. Alos i will need a power splitter thing so i can use two fans in my case, im based in the UK by the way. Help me out guys.

As for cutting on the case, most people I know use a dremel tool to do that with. You can use a jigsaw as well, use caution with this as the vibrations are alot with this. I have seen some people use a scroll saw for very intricate cuts.

As for paint, if your wanting something that will last, I would use a very good automotive paint. Sand it where your going to be painting so the paint will have something to stick too. You might even consider a layer of primer as well, but it's not really necessary.

I'm not sure about the splitter thing where to get those from.
