Hey Steve!

[@xLinkaVR]

for all the people in the comments saying "oh corona" on the paper at start that's the model name for the Xbox firmware and the motherboard it shipped with there are as follows. Xenon, zephyr,opus, falcon, jasper, trinity, corona. showing its a 2012 last gen variation

[@aurora6758]

xLinka and Winchester but they were the last gen and shipped on the “e-slims” slims would come either with trinity mother board or a corona motherboard trinity usually had the earlier manufacturing date and corona later around 2011 (the difference for both was that trinity used the standards 10.83a and the corona was 9.6a I think ) xenon and zephyr were the first boards to come into manufacturing in around 2005+ zephyr had a hdmi port then later variations when xenon failed with the red rings the opus consoles were usually sent out once the xenons got discontinued the same with zephyrs they were replaced with falcon boards and around 2008 they provides the jasper boards, these were the best boards for the phat consoles for modding and a quite favourable. Hope this helped

[@spoof_aye]

correct there is also a "E" variant confirmed with a slightly different corona board and the case looks like a Xbox One original, But that model also a really late 2013 model that patched the RGH exploit.

[@ORIOLESFan02]

Hugh, Since the Xbox didn’t come with a Hard Drive. Try Installing an SSD inside it if you can. That would be a really cool project and you would have a fast Xbox 360 Slim

[@Taken_Alpha]

He could do that but it would be a huge pain to do

[@pastalover21]

They don’t handle SSDs well due to them constantly reading and writing to the disk. This significantly reduces the life of the drive.

[@w3bv1p3r]

There is actually a reason they didn't, the Xbox 360 plays the games from the data on the disk. Only (like a couple of MB) are stored on a 5 GB hard drive (might be bigger). You could download games from the Xbox store, but you sometimes pay more then you would for the disk. I'm just speaking from experience, correct me if i am wrong on anything.

[@seanw789]

@@w3bv1p3r You could install games to the HDD (After the original blade dashboard was updated) I always did, saves wear on the DVD Drive and generally reduced stuttering caused by DVD latency.

[@Taken_Alpha]

To everyone saying they can't handle SSD's or listing off reasons they didn't use them. That doesn't matter, in order to get an Xbox 360 console to recognize a SSD or even a HDD as an internal storage medium requires software tools to format the drive in a way that the console could use it. and it would need to be a specific size because the hard drives were only made in certain storage sizes

[@LimpHz]

I wish these types of mods were available for the Xbox One. There was a whole modification community for the 360. Good ol’ days.

[@deviro1337]

*I'm not hater, but...* 1. You almost broke one latch. (yes, i know that you changed whole case) 2. Why you don't change a thermal paste ? 3. Why you leave this controller black ? In my opinion transforming controller to transparent (easier than than console, and cheaper) is a must :D _I will be happy if you answer for my few questions :D_

[@Gerwazy2137]

when you were at it, you could also change the termal paste

[@andreilucian10]

Very nice! I did something similar years ago with my 360. Clear body, clear fan/heatsink shroud, DVD top removed besides center strip, third party led back fans, 60mm top fan addition, 2 digital temp readouts on both the main heatsinks. Was a thing of beauty, now sits in storage 🤐

[@suppressed_viii]

I have that same exact case on my Xbox 360 and it got me so excited. It's been around 5 years since I've modded my 360 for that, but I've had so many great memories on my 360.

hello Hugh! I love this mod and it's good to change things up. also a suggestion for your website: add captions to photos take new and better photos make merch I will buy it :) idea for merch: Hugh Jeffrey's logo and curcit board pattern around it, like the intro 🙂

[@jamesturner5701]

Beautifully done. I absolutely love watching your videos. Keep it up

[@Josh.Davidson]

The top and bottom panels come off as one piece after removing the vents. You do NOT remove the plastic first and then pop the clips...

[@iHeartDom]

Looks amazing. Would have been awesome with green led lights as a nod to original xbox but still... Looks awesome

[@TexasTex]

seems a bit late to mention this, but the middle support plastic on the sides aren't actually melted, they do indeed just pop off like little clips and re-attach, that's how you'd access the other plastic clips for the outer piece

[@dacastro3098]

when opening the top and bottom part at 3:06 you dont need to pull that hard, there's a little hole under the sticker and you can use a needle or something to pop that little bracket inside the console and it will come out easily

[@c4rn199]

Here I am thinking this video that popped up on my feed was from years ago... nope April 11th 2020 I made one of these Xbox's back when the slim was first released (early 2012). I sent out the plastic shell to my dc jack supplier that lived in shenzhen china and they took a little over a month to get the original and the finished product back to me. They didn't use perfectly clear plastic, it was more of a frosty look (like the original xbox clear edition that wasn't sold in the US). I wonder if Ghostcase just used their mold to create this, that's kind of how things go in China. Months after I sold that xbox you could find the kit on ebay. Looks good though, cut a hole in the dvd drive top so you can see the disc spinning. You can also add some lights in there for a cool effect.

[@CanadianCarguy247]

Red ring isn't actually a full ring, when the console has an overheating/internal failure it lights up 3 of the 4 outer rings. Different combos of positioning of the lights and how many lights are lit can determine what has gone wrong with the console, say dropping it on the floor would display a compelely different set of lights as a hardware issue.
