Is it possible?
I was wondering if i could build a custom xbox 360 case out of plexiglass and add a new fan to it to keep it cooler. Cause i got some free time on my hands and i thought of it and thought id ask about it.

Sure, it's possible. Just need some plexiglass, I'd go with 1/4". Tibia has a bunch of the stuff, and she gives AMAZING deals on it. [/advertising]
As for glue, go with some clear epoxy. It's pretty.

Or, if you want to buy a case for it, xoxide.com sells clear plexi 360 cases.

No, not really. You weren't of any help to anyone, and you added nothing to the OP's question. 
Think before you post.

Allow me to post a response that may be of some use.
If you are looking at re-casing your 360 there are several options. Lian-Li builds a custom case for the 360 that gives it a Ton more room to breath, addresses the X clamp and allows for more fans at bigger size. This is a potential 3 RROD life saver before it even happens.
If you want to build your own case that is cool too. You originally asked about adding fans. I suggest considering the 3-pin add on to setup your secondary fan. There is a spot for a three pin fan header near the front of the case. It looks like the original idea was to have either a front sucking or side sucking fan but for whatever reason the powers that be decided against it
Kind of makes you think in retrospect how many fewer exchanges they would have had to have done if they actually kept a 60 or 70 mm fan at the front blowing cool air in the whole time..
