MadMartigan Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 I’m finishing up a custom Seattle Seahawks console for someone. The clear coat on the case is drying as it type this. Tomorrow I’ll install a dual color (green/blue) 80 LED kit, with on/off switches for each color. All that is left to do is the Jewel. I’ve been thinking for weeks now and can not decide on what to do with it. I don’t want to be lazy and leave it clear. The best thing i have come up with is blue with clear letters and that’s just lame to me All ideas are welcome. Some of them may get laughed at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartarus Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Maybe some type of little LCD screen change up the image I don't know something that just goes through different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartarus Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 slightly off topic but I've always had this idea of introducing a Magic Eye to ax xbox haha I lack the skill I don't know what its purpose would be but it would be really neat to see that introduced I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a terrific idea. However, that would require quite a bit of work and cost. Customer isn’t paying for all of that lol. That would definitely be an end game design for a personal console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgsmods59 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 an EL panel acting as an activity indicator of the hdd can be nice and much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I wish that console hadn't been stolen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went generic navy and went light on the coating so the LEDs would still shine through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to control the brightness? not Xbox related… but have been working on bright LEDs myself (hence why I’ve been so quite). These strips look like neon lights and may be an idea for you (to incorporate them). They look amazing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I ways hated the idea of doing a jewel mod with individual points of light. Doesn't jive, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
