While most case mods are designed to improve the appearance of a games console – or at least tailor it to suit the whims of a more fickle owner – we don’t see many that will make small children cry.
“Brooza” sent us a link to this pretty amazing Halo case mod. Me? Not a Halo person, but wow. The original post at Maxconsole says in part: “The creator is mentioned to be from the UK and is called ‘Craget’ with the following unit taking him 2 months to complete in his spare time. There are no internal modifications apart from the base cooler that he fitted with some LED’s used to light up the case. The creator will soon put his creation up on eBay too.” This is the sort of mod I’d love to see some step-by-step pictures of.
The original Xbox? Loads of good times, but it wasn’t exactly pleasing on the eye. Oh, it also took up too much space; you couldn’t even put other console/DVD player things on top of it since they curved the roof. Gah! Thankfully, those two shortcomings have been rectified by this case mod, the Xbox Mini, which chucks out the old DVD drive in favour of an 80GB HDD and comes in a oh-that’s-much-better, smaller case. It’s not quite finished, but it’s getting there. Introducing Xbox Mini [Xbox Scene, via Giz]
