Custom Xbox 360 case mod with UV LEDS and Cold Cathode UV tube! Part 1

Another custom 360 mod with some cool custom work.

The outside of the DVD drive has been wet sanded down to brushed aluminum and cut out to show the disc. Red SMD LEDs were placed inside along the bottom to provide some under-glow when a game is in the drive. The outside of drive has a 4" cold cathode UV tube with two blue fluorescent acrylic rods above and below it. The letters are stainless steel. The inside of the DVD tray has also been chromed.

On the right side I custom built a dual fan setup with some of the blue acrylic rods and two small 12v fans. The rig is wired with ultra bright UV 3mm LEDs to make the whole thing pretty. There is some fluorescent green wires to the left and one of them houses 3 more 3mm UV LEDs spaced out every few inches.

The wind tunnel is a Tailsmoon chrome tunnel that I cut a small window in. The inside of the tunnel has 4 3mm red LEDs. The rear fan is a Talismoon Whisper fan that was originally blue LEDS that I took out a rewired with UV. The red from the tunnel tends to overpower the UV, but if you look close you can see that it is there.

All in all it was a really fun project, but for anyone thinking about using UV lights - go for it. Just know that UV LEDs tend to be the LEAST bright of them all. I would recommend springing the money for the ultra-bright UVs and perhaps throwing some fluorescent stuff in there to make it pop.

Oh yeah, the console was RROD fixed and the GPU heat-sink was replaced with the Falcon version. Front ROL was also changed from green to blue surrounded by UV LEDs.

Enjoy and please leave comments!!

If anyone has any questions, let me know...

Thanks!!

@mastersamuss

Thanks for letting me know. I find that pretty interesting.. reason I ask is because I just got my second RRoD this past weekend and can't send it back into Microsoft. I bought the Xbox over 5 years ago (possibly a launch). I am looking to fix it myself and add some fans/lights in the process. Last thing I need is my console to be banned after all that work lol
