I Just Sold Three Modded Controllers And Wanted Something Else To Do As A Little Project. So I Decided To Use Some Extra LEDs I Had Laying Around And Make A Custom Xbox 360 Case.
*Note This Is My First Time Doing This So Please Do Not Hate.
*Note This Is My First Time Doing This So Please Do Not Hate.
Things I Used/Will Use:
-A Dremmel Tool
-A Hot Glue Gun
-A Soldering Iron
-1 Sheet Of Plexiglass
-A Strip Of LEDs
-1 220 Ohms Resistor
-A Drill
-A Hot Glue Gun
-A Soldering Iron
-1 Sheet Of Plexiglass
-A Strip Of LEDs
-1 220 Ohms Resistor
-A Drill
Here Is What I Did For This First Picture:
1.I First Drew The Outline Of The Design I Wanted.
2.Next I Took My Drill And Drilled 4 Holes. 1 In Each Corner Of The Shapes. 8 Holes Total.
3.After That I Took An Old Soldering Iron Tip And Roughly Went From Hole To Hole And Cut It Out Leaving Maybe An Inch From Where I Actually Wanted The Cutout To Be.
Leaving Me With This:

Leaving Me With This:
This Is What I Was Able To Finish Yesterday:
1.I Took My Dremmel Tool And USed A Sander Bit And Sanded As Good As I Could Around The Edges Of One Of The Shapes.
2.I Hooked Up The LEDs (See A Youtube Video For A Tutorial On How To Do This.)
3.I Put My (Unfinished) Case Back On To See A What It Would ROUGHLY Look Like And This Is What I Have.

The Case Is Done Other Then Paint And ROL's. Here Is A Video Guys. Let Me Know What You Think.
Things To Come:
1.Change ROL LEDs To Blue
2.Custom Paint Xbox

*Feedback Would Be Much Appreciated Guys As I Have Never Done This.

You do not need a dremmel. It just easier. You can use your soldering iron to get really close to the edge and any type of sanding equipment to make it look good.

I lost my iron. I got a hand saw though.

Our_Enemies wroteThat could work. You would probably get a smoother cut and the dremmel is not the best thing. It spins so fast that it melts the plastic making it sort of hard to doOIvannaGitoff wrote You do not need a dremmel. It just easier.

Good luck guys and I wish I had a Jtag or RGH. I just got rid of mine. :/ It needed a reflow and I did not feel like messing with it.
