This is completely and utterly pointless, yet i love it :P. certinly a unique case and by far one of the best all acrylic cases ive seen, really neat hot gluing. This has a lot of potentiol as a easyish 360 laptop, any old 12 volt pc screen could run from that psu and the ample cooling is a nice touch for a laptop.Blue led's are cool and im locing the fans :). Could have been a little neater with the buttons and maybe used smaller buttons but they are quite fitting i ssuppose. relly cool :). No comment on your tv however :lol: :lol: . 80 / 100, very cool for what it is , couple of bits that could be improved by awesome none the less :).

well, that's pretty sweet. and you at least know you have the case making skills now, so now you can do whatever you want!

While its a good idea (especially if it keeps your 360 from RROD), I wouldn't expect to get much for it. Not many people want a bigger 360 that doesn't really do anything special.
If you really want to give it a purpose, a minor redesign would be needed. I think a coffee table 360 would be something people would buy, a clear case they can put under their glass top coffee table and show off the guts. I would keep the top of the case smooth and put the vents on the side. The rats nest of wires makes it look really cluttered. Hand wiring it or chopping down the existing cables would help. Removing the PSU from the case (and maybe the top of the DVD drive) would help to show off the internals of everything.
Its nice for personal use, but you have to think of what potential buyers would like if you want to sell it.
