If you really like T's, why not call it the tttttttop?

Vga modding though, is a bad bad idea for xbox. it produces washed out video, and is incompatible with a good bit of games, as I recall. If you want VGA, I would sooner go from hdmi to vga through a box. the interlace wont be an issue at your resolution, i imagine.

I know no way to get digital video out of the xbox. :/ If I did, I would be using DVI.

If you know a way, please tell me.

More progress! The plastic finally shipped. I'm super excited... like... I was bouncing in my seat when I got the email saying it.
Can you tell I've wanted to do this for a while?

Also, the quote button is too Dang close to the edit button. :/

So... The plastic got here. I'm excited.

It's slightly more flexible than I expected, but I planned to double it up anyway.



I need help deciding... textured or smooth?



Got it from here: http://www.professionalplastics.com/
Specifically 4 sheets of .62*24*48 of Black General Purpose ABS
It's thin, but not so thin that I can't use it. Has a few imperfections on the smooth side, but may be decent for vacuforming, especially if you're frankencasing after it.

Textured. It'll show less scratches.

That's what I'm thinking... also the textured side matches the xbox's color a lot better.

The bezel will need to be the smooth side though, but that shouldn't be much of an issue.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not painting this. Because I'm awesome like that.

I agree with bud, textured is the way to go.

I'm pretty sold on the textured bit... it's just the texture is so... ugly... It makes me think of cheapo trailer kitchen or something...

I'll cut out a couple parts and then take some 1000 grit to a bit of scrap and see what I think.

That said... Now that I know how to get ABS sent to my door, my imagination is running wild.
I could make so many professional looking things...
IDK, there's just something to be said about building things out of something other than wood and crudely bent metal.

Also, I seem to have this problem where I keep remembering I haven't a clue what I'm going to do for sound, and then I forget to care... so somebody help me out a bit...

As someone who works in a military research lab, let me tell you that there is a lot of high end/expensive lab gear that uses textures exactly like that. If you build it clean, it can look very professional.
