That is pretty cool. Maybe you should make aplate like that. Glossy black, with the rings in the recessed area around the power button.

Hahah, actually that isn't true. I have seen a few customs pop up on eBay that were absolutely horrid! And as much as I love the majority of Spacey's customs I do not love them all (sorry :()

Ok here is an example of a custom that I do not like. It is horrible! It is currently up for auction on eBay and somehow got 3 bids so far. Ick, why would somebody want this :confused:

You have an age limit for spray paints.......... !?

And that halo 3 plate is plain, yeah. The writing is quite nice, and artistic - Positioning is a bit wrong-looking. But... "halo 3" guaranteed to sell.

I'm 42. Never been drunk. Had a sip of beer when I was four and that was plenty for me. I'm a control freak. I can't allow myself to be in a position of not being in control but still being held responsible for my actions. If I'm going to be held responsible for them, I want to be able to affect them.

One of the guys who worked at the booth ended up buying all the equipment after they closed it down. He's going to make stickers for me so I put buying one on hold. I just have to have time to get art done and time to go down there and money to get them done - all at the same time.

pretty simple but extremely sweet would look great with elites, but did you put the rrod actually on the power button??

JarkMan
02-02-2008, 01:11 PM
nah i figured out that it didt look good with the RROD on the concave part around the power button but on the power button it has a red power symbol

thats cool too bad you couldnt have tinted the plastic that lets the green light from the power button red, that would have been sick

I hate it when that happens. I've had that happen a number of times.

I'd still do the red ring though.

Do this: Take your cutting board and put a piece of masking tape about five inches long on it. Take another piece and put it next to that one, with them overlapping a bit. Keep doing that until you get it about four inches wide.

Take a glass or bottle with a mouth about 1 3/4" wide. Turn it upside down and use an X-acto knife to "draw" a circle around it. Peel up the outside tape and it will leave the circle stuck to the board.

Put your tape with the hole in it on the faceplate so that the recessed area is exposed.

Take a round object 1 1/8" in diameter and cut another circle out of the other circle. Take it and put it over the power button. (I'd actually do it a little larger than that, like 1 3/8" or the RROD painted part would be too wide. Hard to get it centered like that, though.)

Now take a couple of strips of tape about 1/4" wide and lay them in a cross.

There ya go.

I'm selling one very lightly used and 100% working Xbox 360. It is just the console though. I'm not selling the HDD, any accessories or power brick. The price I'm asking is $159.99 + $15 priority shipping. Again, the console is working as good as new, and there are no scratches or any damage on the case or the faceplate.
PM if interested

lol no thnks i have 2 xbox's one works one doesnt lol the first xbox i got got the RROD and i sent it in. then UPS lost it so i called 1-800 for my xbox and they said they would look into it about a month past no reponce so my mom was fed up with waiting and bought me and my brother a new core system cause i already bought the hard drive and hd cable. later that week my mom called them back demanding them to send us an xbox so they did and it came and it was just sitting around but i would take it out for lan partys and stuff. about 3 months of having it my xbox was acting weird so i took it out to cool it down. i came back from dinner and i pluged it in and i got the RROD i was really pissed but luckly i had the refurbished xbox and now thats what im using i just havnt gotten to calling 1-800 for my xbox to get it repaired yet. so that the story behind my RROD xbox lol but thnks for the offer

Dude, that same paint cracking effect happened to me when I tried to clear coat some controllers and my GH2 guitar a while back. Frustrated the ever-loving s*it out of me because it ruined the controllers.
I salvaged the guitar, but the back of it looks like I made it out of red play-doh now. :crying:
