Chrome Xbox 360 Case Mod

We all like to customize our gadgets to make them more unique and personal. With mobile phones, it’s usually ringtones, wallpapers, cases, and for some, lanyards. But what about gaming consoles? Why should your Xbox 360 be any different? I’m not talking about faceplate replacement or some silly sticker. For this mod, we’re talking about a full case replacement. NCS is offering 3 different cases for you to pick from – Gloss Black, Clear, and Chrome (shown above). All of which can be had for the low price of $49 USD. If you’re brave enough and can follow some simple steps then you can do the ultimate mod for your 360.

Colorware does some pretty cool work when it comes to custom paint jobs on Smartphones, PCs, and even gaming consoles. However, they’re not selling a case replacement. You have to send in your unit, or you buy a new one from them that they paint to your specs. It will truly be unique, but it will also cost you a lot more scratch than getting just the case from NCS.

All this mod talk has me thinking about getting some spare faceplates for my BlackJack II and doing some custom design. Too bad I don’t have the eye for the design or the tools to do the painting.
