Going to try a build up a bit different this time the idea is to complete a Xbox 360 case mod within 12 hours.
This will be started on Saturday 7th July from 9am - 9pm. Australian Eastern Standard Time. Please check back often on the day to see the progress.
The plan is to show a step by step full tutorial of how I will be building this case. Every step will be shown with pictures / video in one topic. The entire build will be filmed. ( YouTube will show important parts of the build )
Starting with disassembly of the Xbox Slim case, moulding the screen into the side of the Xbox Slim case and finishing with a coat of paint. Everything will be shown so you can attempt this mod yourself. What to buy, where to buy, how to wire everything will be shown and answered.
Everything I need has already been bought and delivered.
Starting the topic up now to get some interest and look forward to any ideas you have. Especially the colour. I would like to go with a single colour but have not decided, feel free to give me an idea.
Below is my first Xbox 360 S case with built in screen. Have a few new ways of doing things and should be a lot quicker now that i have everything before I start and it has been done before.

How much does the screen cost and I'd say. Bright colours this time like bright green or orange and good luck

Late start, decided to start at 10am now, so far about 30 minutes into the build. This is the part that's going to slow me down, uploading photos, resizing, uploading to imageshack then posting on the forums.
Brand new Xbox 360 S 4GB, i have added a 250GB from a previous case as 4GB is never enough, some games require more then that just to be able to play ( Halo 4 ) a cheaper way is a USB up to 16GB limit.

Start time is 10:07am Saturday 7th of July. I will be keeping the stop watch running the whole day to see how far i can get in the 12 hours. I am expecting to get it all done, will have to wait till Sunday to put it back together after the paint is cured.

7 Inch Screen, i will link you to the screen that i am using on eBay.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The frame comes off easily, i keep using these same screens because I know how it works.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
They are a lot easier to wire to the Xbox then it looks, video will be show along with pictures.

Right now 40 minutes into the build. Pictures and video will be delayed.

Top of the Xbox insert flat blade where i have and lever it back to get the top grill out, there are a tonne of YouTube videos showing how to open the case, i will show the basics with a couple tricks.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Keep using the flat blade to pry open the clips, you will break some small pieces just take your time
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
This is the sweet spot, right underneath the warranty sticker, press down and it will pop out the two sides.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Once one of the sides is off, remove the 5 larger screws from the case to release the other side.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
When removing the faceplate be careful of the blue ribbon. If you rip this you will have problems.

Stripped in 10 minutes.

This is really cool.
Maybe Microsoft will pick up on this idea in the future.

Don't try to tape around the power button, remove it properly. Just insert a flat blade or hobby knife underneath and pop each of the 3 points. Tape the ribbon cable and the power button up and then its ready for primer.

Hour and 15 minutes ready for primer. Light sand with 400 grit paper to give the primer something to stick too.

When cutting the section out for the screen ( or a basic window mod ) keep an idea where the mounting points and clips go on, don't cut these out of the case, the case won't be a good fit after you start cutting these out.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Lay some tape down before you cut on the plastic with a Dremel, as you cut the plastic melts back onto the case and more work is needed to take it off again. With the tape it melts on to that and peels off easily. All little things like this save you a heap of prep and sanding work.

Styrene sheeting used around the edges so I can raise the screen out and have it sit level.
