No offence, but the screen looks shopped. Like, sure theres a reflection in the background. But, did your baby take the photo? Guys, doesnt the screen look "different" compared to the rest of the system? It looks fake.

I'm pretty sure it's wallpaper. You can load custom wallpaper onto the 360.

Ok guys I have a few more pics for you. The finished product is not done yet, but this will give a real good idea of what it will look like.

This picture shows the monitor peace almost done and the keyboard peace done. If you notice on the keyboard there are two buttons are missing. Those two buttons will control the eject and the controller find button. Also the ring in the middle as the XBOX 360 logo in the center black peace and the white surrounding lights up blue. Also if you notice in this pic there are two holes in the front, the two memory cards will go there.

This picture shows a lot of the same. If you notice on the side is where the DVD drive tray slides out. As well as a hole for 1 of the other two fans that will be put in. There will be a total of 4 fans all together.

This pic show the back of the unit. Showing the ethernet port as well as the 4 USB's. Its also go the RCA connection for bigger TV's. It also shows two more holes for 2 more fans. Also if you notice the plug in for the power cable. Instead of halving to lug around that huge power brick, we put it inside making that the only cable you have to carry is the cable that connects from the wall to your power brick. Pretty handy.

This picture shows the unit closed. Everything closes with no hang ups. It will not close all the way right now because of a few wires that belong to the monitor that havn't been hooked up yet. It closes and is about 17 pounds. It comes with a handle for the front of it right below the two memory card holes.

Any other questions please feel free to ask. [/img]

That's 1,000 better, looks really good.

I'm still concerned about the cooling and the fact that it no longer has a warranty. Given the nature of the 360 to roll over and die, a lot, it's a little bit worry some when dropping close to 3k on one of those.

that is why i'm extremely hesitant on cracking open my xbox.

I was concerned about the warranty thing too, but believe it or not I have actually sent one back that was taken apart before and they exchanged/fixed it no problem. It was quite awhile ago though. And we really hadn't done many mod to the motherboard as we have now but none the less.
I hope to finish it up this week I'm having a few problems with RF module. But should have it fixed soon.
As for the cooling problem. I really think we will be ok there. I have done two other ones of these basically done the same way as far as fans are concerned, and still no problem there. I have put the fans in the best possible spots to achieve the best air flow. Thanks for the post guys.

I think the only way to do it is to water cool it, but it's not for the faint of heart. I wouldn't trust it. I mean even if I test the seals and everything checks out at the time of assembly, you never know when something could come undone and then your machine goes up in a cloud of ozone smell.

You can go non conductive fluid, but the fluids are real expensive and do not have the better cooling properties of water.

For now I'll just trust in my warranty, when that runs out maybe I'll crack it open.

They are extensively checking 360 now that are sent back to see if they have modded firmwares

I wish you would have kept the handle on. It'd be like a 360 in a breif case. Walk around, and BAM whip out a portable 360.
