So, i finally got my claws on an Xbox360, no thanx to Nubnos here :facepalm:
And my plans are to spruce the outsides up a little bit.

(found this pic on a 360 modding forum)

somewhere along the lines of this, but in a SF4 theme and style :>
Something to keep me busy, really! i'll make sure i'll blog about the progress.

What do you guys think?

Very artistic. Something along the lines of what I'd do if I had the time I had when I was younger.

I do completely agree though, and think you should get something SF related on there. Obviously it'd have to be a picture of Vega, anyone else would just be a half-rate wannabe.

Remember, beautiful fighters never lose!!!

That theme looks totally rad. 'Cubist can correct me if I'm wrong, but that makes me think of Jet Set Radio (even just the little I've seen/played).

1. Tell Nubby to GTFO and get yourself a copy of SSFIV for PS3 so that I can challenge you
2. I demand (read: politely request if you're okay with it) that you turn this from a standard thread into a feature, so that we can make a big deal of it and use it to gain a bit more traffic, like we're doing with Nubby's reviews.

Also, I used to be all about the Akuma, but as of recently, my Blanka will murder you (unless you're one of the Aviva guys who is a Vega master, in which case, ZANGIEF LARIAT SPAM!).

Let's compete with designs! If I get my 360 fixed by this guy today I'm thinking of case modding mine so it can run cooler. If I'm gonna take the shit apart anyways...might as well make it look nice :D

Jet Grind Radio is a little more angular, but it's pretty close Smokey :yes: A JGR theme would look sick though...

So basically as i've read there are 2 ways of doing it,
Vinyl print or sketch up what you want on there and paint/colour it in with heat resistant paint.
will have a wander around town tomorrow to see what i can find :>

I think this cooling mod is going to take some research. The problem is that the fucking DVD drive is right over the GPU heat sink. I can't remember how much space I had, but the options are either a slim laptop fan on top the heatsink or a vertical fan on one side of it to pull the air out of the heat sink. No wonder these damn things fail...

EDIT Nov 6/2010

My parents gave me some money...hmmm. I was reading about a case mod which gets rid of the memory card ports to give the 360 another vent to pull in air; this vent would be nearly perfectly in front of the GPU heat sink. I'm thinking about putting a slim fan there and using it as a "forced induction" to pull in the air, pass it over the heat sink, and allow the rear fans to pull it out. What I'm wondering is that if the 360 runs a check and those components at start up; I have a feeling it would (so it could automatically load data), so I'm not sure how to address that yet. If I desolder the memory card connectors would it just be borked?

Time for more research lol
