Xbox 360 Mods

Oh, dear:

Isn't doing this to your Xbox the equivalent of installing neon strips on the bottom of your Ford Focus? ;)

Fair disclosure: I am getting my 360's original white faceplate turned into a Bob Rankin (http://www.clayj.com/html/index.htm#rankin) painting, just as he did to one of my laptops (http://www.clayj.com/html/BRVAIOBoy.htm)... should have it back from him by Christmas, so my 360 will become an abstract work of art. But this is still just a temporary change, as the faceplates are exchangeable.

GOOD GOLLY what have they done!!!

that looks a right mess! if they come within 3 miles of my Mac i will shoot them

saying that wonder how long it will be before one of these moded 360's make it on ebay :D

[clayj]

saying that wonder how long it will be before one of these moded 360's make it on ebay :DUm, about 2.5 hours from now... 7 PM CST tonight. :p

[liketom]

Um, about 2.5 hours from now... 7 PM CST tonight. :p
i've never seen why they put them neons on these things ???

i bet when them modders die they will have had to put some neon strips on there coffins and a glass windows on the side - ie SICK

it would be a cool effect - like they've been cryogenically frozen

i suppose all them neons would give a whole new meaning to glow worms :rolleyes:

[grapes911]

I really like the color and the clear window. Take away the neons and it looks pretty good.

[diddy]

Well, it's something to do on a lazy Sunday. Im guilty of it. Both my Macs have cathodes.:o :( :D

[Tommyg117]

yeah I like the color and the clear window! But I'd rather put neon strips on a ford focus.

[Dagless]

Oh dear thats foul. how can people find that sort of thing attractive for a machines? Its like those people who mod PC's. I just don't see any point. you cant do it to be 'different' anymore as just about everyone these days has a modded PC!

as for the abstract art Xbox360... I could get my little sister to do an abstract Mod for any of my systems and not have to send it away! :)

[louis_sx]

I actually kinda like it. But my Windows PC has a window in the side like that, too.

[Aarow]

Yuck! Something about cold cathodes, LEDs, a can of spray paint, and a window doesn't sound too cool to me.

Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.

Too obscure? ;)

Too obscure? ;)If The Simpsons is obscure, then yes. ;)

[p0intblank]

Wow, that window is kick ass! :) Props to them for doing this!

[XNine]

looks like ebay removed the item from auction. It actually doesn't look too bad, but then again, I wouldn't ever want mine to look like that.

[treblah]

If The Simpsons is obscure, then yes. ;)

It's not like I asked if 'D'oh' was too obscure, one line from one episode over 15 years is quasi-obscure. :D

[buryyourbrideau]

I think that looks amazing...well without the neon lights.

But seriously that blue looks sexy!!!

don't forget the neon splat graphics, and fake bullet holes to look really tough...

[ReanimationLP]

mmm.

Blue 360.

mmm.

[shadowmoses]

I can't find it on eBay can smeone please post the link to the auction if its up yet...

Here Ya Go!!!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8238748332)

[clayj]

Here Ya Go!!!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8238748332)Crikey... it's at $1,125 with 27 bids and 9.5 DAYS to go. The reserve price has already been met.

We should take bets (for bragging rights only) as to what the final price will be. My guess: $1,900.

[shadowmoses]

SWEET.... I didn't expect to see it selling for that much, but i agree with clay J should go for around 2k,

SHadow

[Piarco]

Lol.. I say $1750!
The PC forum I'm a member of are going nuts over it! It really is just the same as a lot of PC mods out there, but the fact that a) its a 360 b) its been modded that quickly is impressive.
Personally its not for me as my 360 needs to suit its surroundings and keeping to its stock asthetically pleasing state is fine by me. But if it was in the office *cough*gaming room*cough* it'd be at home - I've got a black tower PC with a UV reactive window, UV reactive cabling and a pair of black lights......

[Sdashiki]

Morons, all morons.

I bought a $17 modchip from Llama, good guy. But he isnt to blame for the high price, its the bidders.

I mean, its ugly as sin, at least the original XBOX mods looked somewhat decent, thats just a clear plexi looking onto a nasty board.

[Abulia]

I bought a skin from www.decalgirl.com (http://www.decalgirl.com) for my 360. See what it looks like when it shows.

$1901, Bob. We are basing the winner on the closest without going over right?

Honestly I need something like that as much as I need...something I don't need or want.

[clayj]

$1901, Bob. We are basing the winner on the closest without going over right?I just knew someone would do this.

[buryyourbrideau]

I think it will probably end up going for over 2k

People get stupid when they bid, its all competition.

Even if they dont want to spend it, they will bid it so they can win.

[GFLPraxis]

$2100. Most of the serious bidding occurs in the last five minutes. Judging at the rate it is going up...

[nbs2]

I just knew someone would do this.
I know. I'm sorry. I'm usually better behaved than this. I'm just a little giddy today, that's all. It won't happen again. I mean it.

[buryyourbrideau]

haha 4300 dollars

that is seriously one of the dumbest things i have ever seen :eek:

[GFLPraxis]

...I'm going to revise my guess to $6000.

[clayj]

...I'm going to revise my guess to $6000.I'm going to revise my guess to "these people are insane".

personally i think optical tuning is pretty much pointless with either computers and cars ...

[Sdashiki]

7 days left

$4600 and counting

F*CKEN MORONS OMFG WHY IS THIS WORTH $4000+ than an original 360?

its going to be funny when the person who wins doesn't pay
