Since my last update, I mounted the power switch, power cable connector, and the two 80mm fans for the outside of the case, wired up the speakers and audio amp. Also decased the xbox, mounted it to the bottom of the cab with 1/4 nylon spacers, rewired the harness to attach to an atx power supply, decased the atx power supply and mounted that in the cab.
Everything (besides the lights which i havent' installed yet) works currently, but there are some things I want to fine tune.
First, I really want to get rid of the DVD drive. It's fairly useless, as it has a hard time reading even pristine discs... they play fine for about 5 minutes, then I get errors. Bleh. I installed a chip that finally came in from dealextreme, but I haven't gotten around to flashing the bios... or researching to see what bios I actually need for this chip to delete the dvd.
Second, the power switch on back runs to the PSU. When I flip the switch, all the fans for the xbox come on full blast, then I have to press the power button on the xbox to turn it on. Looking at options for that and wondering if a small cap soldered to the button would do what I want.
Third, currently it boots into evox, then I have to select coinops 3. I need to get it to boot straight into coinops 3. This won't be hard, I just need to find time for it.
Pictures. Don't bash my wiring until I'm done. It's a rats nest right now.
