For the most part, the equation is:

Existing Scavenged Artwork + (Photoshop || Paint Shop Pro || Illustrator) + Time + Education = Nice Graphics = Hard Work

I think that it would be very easy to come up with some excellent graphics for an X-Box themed cabinet.  There are probably thousands of high quality X-Box images available online.

The first thing you need to do is locate the highest quality X-Box graphics that you can.  I'd probably start with the Sony site... maybe they have press kits or something with high quality art.

You always want to start with the largest, highest quality images that you can find.

LOL.  Personally I would start at the Microsoft site.  ;)  Sony will only have a picture of an xbox in their coffee room hanging on a dartboard.
