any 360 hardware modders here? Advice on a bioshock mod.

[lotkrotan]

Ok, so I just recently did a hardware mod on my 360, and it went really well, and I'm going to start practicing window cutting on my old shell. What I really want to do is make a bioshock theme and a dead rising theme mod, and sell them. One for the fun of it, and two, because I need money like every other college kid (especially with the rising cost of games and microtransactions). \

I want to cut some cool looking windows with maybe some hig res bioshock pics covering the hardware. Blue LEDs of course, maybe have some of the windows water shaped and clouded, not completely transparent, with the blue lights coming through them. A copper case would be ideal.

As for the dead rising one, I'd have it black, maybe blue, with blood splattered shaped windows and red LEDs, maybe get the dead rising logo on one of the sides.

any advice from any experienced modders?

Unfortunately I don't know a damn thing about case modding (esspecially for 360), but I sure think you should put up a coupla pics of your handy work for all the globe to see...

BTW: that's the finest goddamn avatar I have yet seen. It bothers me that I didn't think of it first.

That looks really, really cool! Did you buy the case pre-made, or did you (somehow) form it yourself? Like I said, I know dick-all about case modding.

As for Converge... Well, nothing really comes close. misery, distress and unbridled rage all mixed into one turbo-f**king nightmare. The new album frightens Mrs.LEC, I can only play it when she's not around. But it's got nothing - nothing - on Jane Doe. No way hosey.

It's a premade case. for some reason, case modding has become even more popular with the 360, making supply much higher, making costs much cheaper.

As for Converge... Well, nothing really comes close. misery, distress and unbridled rage all mixed into one turbo-f**king nightmare. The new album frightens Mrs.LEC, I can only play it when she's not around. But it's got nothing - nothing - on Jane Doe. No way hosey.

Converge is easily in my top 3 bands of all time, in fact, I'm getting a portrait of Jane Doe tattooed on my back (along with a completely unrelated mario tattoo). The new album is really intense, and on the intesity level matches Jane Doe, but I don't think it's as emotionaly challeneging. Lines like "Keep your scars on your sleeve/and your heart in your hand" and the whole epic 9 minute song help, but Jane Doe was a better complete album.

Funny thing is, they have all this anger, and misery, yet in person they are really calm and relaxed guys, almost timid at times.
