Ok im working on a faceplate right now thats going to have leds on it, moulded in with a putty, its going to have a rings of led's around the power, and three lines vertically(horizontally) up (accross)the plate, one in the middle, one to the right (above) of the disc slot, and one to the left (under) the mem card slots.

and also a power button above the usb door.
now my problem is power, im planning on taking the wire from the button and feeding it through (under the putty) the usb door, to the back down to the bottom, and have a longer wire run UNDER the xbox to the back where a battery pack can be secured,

also with a vinyl sticker or something to stick and cover the wire at the bottom of the xbox so it doesnt get broken or whatnot.

I was also playing with the idea of making it powered by one battry and have that in the usb slot, but then the usb's would be unuseable. bummer.

any ideas or better soloutions on how to power it?
