NeXuS: Shock it till ya know it; +375|6615|Atlanta, Georgia

Alright well today i got bored so i decided to rip open my 360. I wanna make it to where it would cool better and not get so hot! So any idea's on how to cool it more? I also wanna mod it somehow but i can't think of any original idea's I was thinking about putting a window on the side and on the opposite side putting the BF2s logo I believe ill paint it green and black to go along with it. You guys have any idea's or suggestions?
I also need help on wiring the LED's in the console. Anyone know how to do this?

This is what the inside looks like.

It will stay cooler if you have no case and wave it around like a fan while your playing.

On the other hand, if you want to make it look cool, theres nothing that can make that console cool

Rip a wire off from somewhere and attach an LED in series. As long as you complete the circuit you should be alright.

**UPDATE**

I haven't gotten too much done. I still need to get the plexi glass. I also need to file down the edge's more on that CD rom to.

You could propably fit a 92mm and 60/70mm fan like that.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

There's a place where the fan plugs into a 4 pin slot and it looks like the picture on the right,

How can i get that into a 4 pin slot that is normally flat?

I kinda described it funky.
