![]() I'm one of the few still with out a modern consol. Still rockin' the PS2.
But, time to go forward. But, rather than pay 300 for a new system, why not build it up? Since, you know... I have a history of buying broken down things and building them up (Firebird, CST/10, Xmods), so why not here? It's a RROD system, but, I have the tools to properly fix by reflowing it the right way. So, $45 later, I have a console, and 10 minuets after that: ![]() Gotta say, the 360 is one cheap piece of trash. Plastics are thin and flimsy. The Mobo is flimsy as hell too. Not to mention, this is a newer system witht he beefed up cooling system and it still RROD.. Nice work microsoft! Never the less, I broke the case down more and got the front button off and went to priming this thing. Then, down goes the mettalic gunmetal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Painted thick enough to be the body color, but thin enough to let light pass threw, so when lit up the icon shows threw the paint. ![]() The rustoleum primer sucks, gave the whole body of this thing a texture, but nothing that a good wet sand and polish won't smooth out. ![]() Just a mock up of what it'll look like. Just gotta make a trip to go get my heat gun, and a ifrared thermometer, and some flux and thermo paste and it'll be good as new. My friend at work will give me a 20 gig drive from his RROD system that he destroyed, and I have a friend at a gaming store that can get me AV cables and the power brick. Just gotta get some controllers, and for under 100 bucks, I have a 300 dollar system. ![]() |
