wow.. I have one of these cases laying around in my basement. The motherboard is semi-working and psu is totaled. I tried sticking an atx board in the case but no luck. The standoffs are not atx aligned. I'm curious how you plan to mount the board.

I can't wait to see what you do with this thing and how you get the motherboard mounted and the back panel. I wonder if there is a way to hack the led assembly on the case at the front and rear. I loved that feature so much on my xps.

crazy work done, got to decide where to put the hard drive cages, welt it and its all down hill from there. at least the hard part is done. Anything that looks odd will be quicksteeled and sanded in the back.

Have you tried ever pop rivets at any point. Alum and welding not easy at all. Almost to hard. I know i would say away from it. I want so pics of the issue to see first.
 
Can't wait for this. Like i said it makes me want to start a new build. Maybe a Black opps II build for me maybe. I love video game builds.

Well the liquid nails is drying everything clamped down now have to wait x amount of hours. Then its Painting time, will start with painting the inside orange first, then tape off the case for the outside. Paint that, hit it with clear coat, then do my stencils, letters, then the pain on detail, then move to messing with the LED's to find out what wires need to be connected for yellow. Finally all the hardware will go in. I may need to make a new power button.

I must agree with moose, imo it looks too much like the girly green. It still looks great its just a little distracting. could be lighting as well

The green is just a base coat, it will be getting a watered down flat black dry brush. to give it more of the appeal of the 360. the sunlight also makes it beam out with the gloss.

The green is just a base coat, it will be getting a watered down flat black dry brush. to give it more of the appeal of the 360. the sunlight also makes it beam out with the gloss.

Okay now that makes sense. Looking great then. IMO you should paint the gpu shrouds in that dark green to go against the orange inside. It will add to the look of the mod. Im currently in the process of painting my 480 shrouds in fluorescent green to match my build.

This is brilliant, you made it happen, I'm impressed.  Colors do seem light compared to the Xbox 360, but you mentioned first coat, how many layers are being planned?
 
Now I wait for your presentation of indoor shots with the hardware inside.

2-3 more layers, some dry brushing with flat black, then line art. Finally a clear coat.
