Another Halo inspired case but modeled on the Master Chief’s helmet. The Xbox bares its innards through the cutout in the shape of Master Chief’s visor.

Why go back to being a computer when you are an Xbox? Because you get to be portable with a 17? 1280×720 progressive-scan LCD VGA monitor and Water-cooled custom-built radiator. A keyboard and Wi-Fi gives you the best of both worlds. Created by Ben Heck.

11. Rockstar Case Mod



This one is for the GTA buff. All in silver and orange, with controllers to match, the case mod gives a transparent peek into its guts.  It’s a special edition Xbox, not a custom case mod, but it looks stunning so we’re including it on the list.

12. The Joker Inspired Xbox 360 Mod
    




The Joker’s face pokes out accompanied by the now famous line, “Why so serious?” Creepy, but definitely a fantastic mod for Batman fans.

A tribute to the University of Texas, this burnt orange stylish Xbox mod features a Longhorn logo as a window.

The Innards:

Dimensions:
- 23.5 x 21.65 x 2.5 cm

Technical Specs:
- 320 GB 2.5″ HDD
- PW-200-V PSU
- TSOP flashed with iND-BIOS
- Motherboard v1.4

The case itself is made up of 3mm thick polycarbonate sheets glued together with epoxy and plastic welder. The shiny sleek look comes from a few coats of primer and Krylon Fusion. The shrunken size means that the motherboard and components have to be packed together. But the end result is amazingly functional and eye-pleasing.

We have covered plenty of case mods…but few which have squished such a large console into such a small space.
