Then sellin it

And I get half.

Kewl.

Can't wait to see it.

El wire. And cathodes. Completely new heatsink. And better air flow. If I liked xboxes, I would totallly consider doing something like this.

Re: Basement 360

New heatsink is a no-go, but better airflow is a must. I 12v modded the fans and added a GC fan on the other side of the CPU heatsink. Basically, I wanna make this thing work long enough to sell it + about a month so theres no complaints. This is the 3rd time this particular 360 has been repaired. I'm adding a bunch of LEDs that are lined up like a cathode, but cheaper. I can't think of a way to get better airflow to the GPU, though. It had the old version heatsink.

Re: Basement 360

More fans is not necessarily better. Think aerodynamics. You want a nice, one-way airflow, and maximum airflow to the fins. Put one fan directly in front of each heatsink and build a wind tunnel from the intake to the exhaust.

The extra fan is aimed the same way as the stock ones. I ain't no fool.

Re: Basement 360

Repaired the RRoD, drilled holes in the shielding to hotglue LEDs in , bought 30 blue 3mm LEDs, lost one , cut out hole in bottom of shielding under heatsinks for extra cooling, and put board back in RF shielding.

Re: Basement 360

One of the best and easiest cooling mods you can do is add a divider in the exhaust tunnel so one fan is pulling air from the GPU heatsink, the other from the CPU. I made one out of cardstock in a couple minutes. It makes it so air actually gets drawn through the GPU heatsink.

Re: Basement 360

I'm gonna do that, and do the thing where you tape the gpu HS to the wind tunnel (its under the disc drive, so you can't see it anyway), but Imma paint the wind tunnel blue first.

Re: Basement 360

double post.

Added the LEDs. Now I need to dremel out the bottom grate so it will go back on.

Re: Basement 360

Got some more pics for ya. All I have to do is finish grinding the disc cover (the rough metal flax on the disc drive) add some LEDs on the top part, and paint.

turned off

The LEDs

other side

LEDs on

up close

tray open

Color theme is (or will be...) blue and white.

Is that fan hot glued to the heatsink?

It looks awesome with the blue LEDs though.

Temporarily. XD

Imma superglue it after I'm done and know I won't need to pull it apart again. I'm actually surprised it survives hour-long sessions...

 

[Basement_Modder]

Did 1st coats of paint and inverted the ring of light.

[Basement_Modder]

Just came in from a long night of painting. My goal is done by 2 pm tomarrow, but had some issues with red overspray on the white that had clearcoat.

Tomorrow.

 

[Basement_Modder]

Its finished. Pics in about 10-60 minutes.
