Ive been asked a few times on here how to add fans and lights to an xbox. Well Ive finaly gotten around to doing one and will post the pics here. Once I get it done people will see this isnt as eay as people tink. Cutting a hole for the fans attaching the jewel so it spins. Wiring lights to the fan so they come on at the same time. Extending the case so it doesnt look like shit.
First either use a dremmel or coping saw to cut a hole for the fan. now drill holes to mount it. Use a dremmel to cut the back of the HDD tray, Xbox fan should now be exposed, to make room for molex adapter. mount the fan, and either use dvd face plates or moldable plastic to extend the top. and mount plastic around the bae so it will be enclosed.

Sure you got my address right?
So heres the jewel mounted so it will spin. I used clear PL500 to attach it. I highly reccomend it since with this stuff the jewel isnt going anywhere (its used to hang/adhese drywall to conrete or other surfaces you cant nail to)

Let me know what it will cost to ship the jewel to Canada (im sure its light enough for regular mail) and Ill shoot you money for it. Thanks for the offer, i really appreciate it, once I see it I may see if I can get some made to put on the Boxs I mod. I did an asbestos removal at a place here that makes custom signs Im sure I could get them to do it up nice and cheap
