Here is some updates on Project Fantasy 360. The guys behind the project, in their aim to score a big hit with this one, provided ten reasons why we should go ahead and buy a Fantasy360 Console, here's that list:--Because Xtreme Enterprise has a history of producing strong brands such as the Asterix faceplates for PSP and the Rainbow Controllers for the first-gen Xbox
--Because these are the coolest colors on the Xbox360 planet
--Because you'll be owning a piece of art that will be talked about in years to come
--Because we provide online installation instructions with pictorial guides
--Because we have colored wireless controller cases to match
--Because our quality is top-notched with OEM quality
--Because the vendor does not make them in our colors
--Because the vendor does not produce them with water-cooled project options
--Because your friends and neighbors (parents and kids) are going to envy you
--Because it melts in your hearts, not in your hands
Well, we don't know about that. But it is still up to you --the gamers-- to come up with your own reasons to buy (or to diss) the Fantasy360 Console. Anyways, in their latest press release, Extreme Tech Asia wanted to provide future supporters the technical know-how for taking apart your Xbox 360 (if you are willing to do that to your baby, that is). Also, they are encouraging those interested to know more about case modding.

Well, we don't know about that. But it is still up to you --the gamers-- to come up with your own reasons to buy (or to diss) the Fantasy360 Console. Anyways, in their latest press release, Extreme Tech Asia wanted to provide future supporters the technical know-how for taking apart your Xbox 360 (if you are willing to do that to your baby, that is). Also, they are encouraging those interested to know more about case modding.
They should be prepared to do as such because they may find themselves in a scenario wherein it isn't only the case they want to change. Casemodding is all too possible with lots of practice and knowledge associated with casemodding. But remember, the best mods emerge with a few things in mind :
Step One. You require a design concept that is workable
Step Two. You need to acquire the right tools to work with
Step Three. You need to get all measurements right and then practice it on materials similar to the original Xbox360
The people behind the project also want to put across that before you start the actual casemodding work on your Xbox360, you must preferably be rather competent in the following skills :
a. Drawing lines on the case (the easiest part)
b. Making clean cuts through plastic (not so easy) and surface/edge sanding
c. Installation of plexi-glass / acrylic plates (for see-through effects)
d. Installation of neon-lights / internal lighting for special effects
e. Soldering / Wiring / Disassembling of electronics (if required)
f. Others (water-cooling projects, additional fan installation etc)
Just from reading it, that looks like a challenging task not to mention time consuming. But a hard challenge can be accomplished by engaging in long hours of practice because hey, you gotta start somewhere. So if you are interested in such case modding, good luck, because you're gonna need that.
