Only thing holding me back on a box like that would be the crystal case, I think I’m probably the only person who doesn’t like them. Still, I’d go for about 700 on a box like that. 

Agreed on the Clear Crystal case. Not my favorite. But Halo green is good. $650 -700 seems reasonable for an interested buyer.

When I want an 'alternate look' to an black Xbox, I just spray paint them now. Leaving some black accents. $20 used console + $8 can of spray paint makes a pretty slick looking machine

The XMBC Origins UI Update Mod requires having the XBMC Origins v1.0.0 skin installed along with the updated keymaps file from Dom DXecutioner's original thread:

[RELEASED] XBMC Origins v1.0.0

The links are provided at the bottom of the first post.  However, there is no artwork or icons - the _resources/ content to add to each game's folder - included with the skin. 

For Playstation 4's [WIP] XBMC Origins UI Update Mod, he tells you in his first post:

Requirements & Installation:

• An existing, vanilla installation of the Origins Skin is required.
• Dom's custom keymaps.xml is required. This is to be obtained from Dom's thread, linked above this line.
• Extract the Updated UI zip into the skin's root directory, XBMC\skin\XBMC Origins\

 

Yup, all this exactly.

Every time you add a new game, you need to create a thumb.jpg to show up in the 'Featured Games' window. /Game/_resources/artwork/thumb.jpg  I usually resize pictures to approx 450x250 to get them to show up nicely.

I took me awhile to figure it out, but there is a database file buried deep in XBMC that needs to be deleted if you want to delete a game from your drive and not have it still show up in the 'Featured Games' list.

Sorry I haven't really seen one.

Essentially what I did was FTP an unpacked XBMC into the dashboard folder. Then 'Switch Dashboards' using my pre-installed UnleashX. There is a 'Skins' or 'Themes' folder under XBMC where I dropped the Origins folder. Then I switch to it from within the XBMC menu.

Then, I just used those written instructions to apply the modded files and start tinkering. It took more than a day for me to figure it out completely, so trial and error will be part of it

The Origins dashboard is just a theme for XBMC. So yeah, you need the full 3.5.3 version up and running first.

I use this mod. Much easier to configure.
