    Buy them, repair them, sell them on at a profit, and then get the bits for the cooling system!

    Looking good, BTW!

    PS Have you got an airbrush?...

    Now have black top and bottom grilles. Will have to paint the existing hdd case as the originals go for silly prices or I have to wait to get it from china.

    The perspex window will be cut to size tomorrow and then going on to the laser cutter we have at work. Lovely bit of kit. I have a few ideas I want to try just to make it that bit different from the norm.

    Will post up some more pics very soon.

    Thanks for that link. That airbrushing looks fairly easy to do with great affects. I wonder how much a kit would cost.

    Little update. Now got the perspex etched and cut. Stuck with a simple design.

    The laser cutters at work are fun to play with.

    Will glue it in tonight

    Looking good, i bet he loves that

    Not much point water cooling anyway is there ? as it's not like you could massively overclock it or anything..

    Saying that though, i haven't seen what kind of mods there are for 360 these days

    Looking good, nice job Chris. Just curious, what did you use to cut out the silhouette of the figure, as some of it looks pretty intricate and fiddly.

    Thanks mate. It was a mixture of a dremel (cutting and drilling) and hand files. Took ages to do mind you lol.

    I will post up the orginal link of when I made it so you can see.


    EDIT : Have a look here http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showth...-son&highlight=

    Nice one. Be a major bummer if you got 99.9% done and then snapped the barrel off the gun or something,lol!

    If you're not going with water cooling, at least consider installing a mini canister of HFC-227ea fire suppressant.
