Project Plex-Box

While I applaud your for your efforts, isnt this thing a little big? I mean it looks like it has twice the volume of the other case.
I would be more impressed if you took some of the original shape or something so you could look at it and still recognize it as an XBOX.
complaining aside, good work with the plexi, I would have a mishapen mess and nothing but scratches and abrasions

Seriously. It's fucken ugly. There's a reason more manufacturers out there aren't investigating clear perspex. Computer insides are not aesthetically pleasing.
So the next time you're thinking about modding your boxen stop and say to yourself: "Can I do better than simply dumping my computer's insides into a fish tank?"... The answer, if you're wondering, is a resounding yes.
I'm really surprised that more manufacturers haven't jumped on selling replacement transparent and/or coloured cases made to otherwise look like the originals for the most recent wave of consoles.
It's easy to find them for the PS1 and Dreamcast, so why not the current ones?
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
