I thought about it but I decided not to because it will void my warranty. Btw, August 14th is my birthday! What special occasion is on August 14th for you?

just make sure u paint it nicely, no bubbles, streaks, or anything.  plus be careful of the "xbox 360" logo on the side.  i think it can be done.  i believe in u

my alien friends from neptune will give me my annual orders of what to do... then i will systematically carry them out and await their next call... my cousin gets calls from jupiter! anyways yeah have fun painting it, dont forget to tape important areas so it stays clean, also may i suggest painting a face plate then using that, the CD drive and ports are to risky to damage, also you dont have to paint the back and bottom technically... depends on how you put it though.

If your going to all the trouble, why stop at just black? Why not use some other colors like white or silver. Or even think of stenciling something on it?

yeah like a crimson/rouge xbox would be sooo cool, and you could draw a white circle and a twisty cross and you have the German Workers Union flag! (yes that is the flag of a political party in early 20th century in Germany post WW1)

Well... good bye warrenty, 'cause you'll have to COMPLETELY remove the entire outer casing to prevent getting paint on the internals. Good luck? But I imagine it'll look relatively bad, and the coat wont be even... may not even dry, depending on the paint.

Just be sure to get a paint that will go on plastics, and will hol dup to heat OK. Would almost reccomend, assuming you take the covers off, using automotive paints, just a littl ebit, out of a spray gun. Hmm, maybe model paints?

But hell let your inner artiste` Flourish! Don't stop with just black! Hell, try a camo finish, or try blending it Black and red metalic, or Gamespot blakc and gold. Paint your Union emblem on it.

Actually, i would reccomend talking to some expereince PC case modders.  Google around, or try the PC harware forum here. They'll know more about tips than lil old me. Be sure to post some pics.

And its your Xbox., Just have fun with it, and the hell with what all of us jerks think.

if you think about it...Microsoft is like and Evil Genius in a good way.....they trick us into buying a 360 at first cause its the new hot item and now they come out witha sleek/sexy new 360 with better hardware and people will buy it(i will only get one unless my white one breaks...and no, i willnot smash my 360 with a sledge hammer)...but that was a very good sales plan on microsofts turn...but im still an Xcore 360 fan! WOOT!

yep.

the 360 and white mix like peanut butter and chocolate in a Reese's cup.

but no!!!

Microsoft had to cheap out and make the "ELITE" plain black instead of the ps3's chrome black!

SHINY IS BETTER!!!!
