As you can tell I am new to lasers. The main thing I do is Xbox 360 Modding. From hardware (case mods) to software (firmware mods), I've done it all. If you are interested I can also flash any of your guys' 360 for $21 shipped to play copied games.

Background: For my birthday my uncle bought me a wine cooler because he got it for free. Wtf am I going to do with a wine cooler? I'm 17 (At the time I got it). So I thought to myself that I could make something cool with it. I cut out the back and made it into an enclosure for my 360 (and now Tivo as well)

Cool mod Abo, I know some 360's have had heat problems. Did you take the cooler out? How cool does it get in there?

I think it could use some more things to fill it. I mean, using a whole fridge for just two XBOXes... you have like lots of cm^3 left to fill up with stuff :p!


PS: Does it prevent your 360 from RRODing?

When it starts out, 11°C. After 6 hours of using it, it becomes ~ 24°C

It currently has my TiVo, 360, & Bawls

And i am not sure about RRoD'ing. RRODing can occur either from overheating or a system error but mine shouldn't because of overheating :)

I also made my Lian Li 360 Case which i'll show later today

Drop in a bottle of wine or two ;p

No thx, Bawls FTW!
 
I'd like to see your PC modding abilities ;)

I actually never bothered myself with PC Modding. I got a Dell 2400 8 years ago. The closest thing to modding I ever did with it was upgrading from 512Mb to 2Gb of ram and using dual monitors

Not bad, but You did just destroy a Wine cooler which used to be worth a decent amount of money. Sorry dude, but what a waist (IMO). Granted, It still does look good.

I was 17 at the time.. what was I going to do with a winecooler.
 
nice although i would have probably kept it for soda or water.

the 360s dont need much cooling if you just fix the heatsink mounting design and space out the bottom of the motherboard.

i have done some simple case modding but for my own i like simple and i am big into halo and mlg so i made this.

i would put some silica packets in it be cause those coolers are designed to retain a certain amount of humidity.

Sell it:) I do fully understand what you are saying though. You where/are still young. It's all good. You did come up with a neat idea on how to make it suit your needs, which is pretty awesome. :)

Those wine coolers really are worth a pretty penny. :)
