So you want to mod your Xbox 360?
This is a custom Xbox 360 that I modified myself last year and still never had any red Rings and never been banned from Xbox Live. So if you want to know how I make creations like this, the rest of this site will help you through the process of building a better more custom Xbox 360.
Thinking of modding your Xbox 360?
Before you start modding your xbox there are a few things you should know. Modding an Xbox will void your warranty with Micosoft so I would Highly suggest not modding it unless your warranty is up. The only reason I say this is because you payed for a warranty so you might as well get the most out of it. On a final note these tutorials are here to help you, however if you are to mess up or damage your Xbox 360 in any way I can not be held responsible.

Opening the case
Now with that out of the way lets get on to opening your Xbox 360.
You are going to need a special tool to open the Xbox 360, However the Xbox 360 can be opened with a straightened out small paper clip.

Also you will need a Torx 10 security bit screw driver. You can get this from RadioShack if you want to get it right now, they should have a kit with a Torx 10 regulare bit in it, that should open it. Or you can get one off ebay or a small kit like this from Amazon. Follow this tutorial to get you Xbox 360 open.
