8/9/04 - This site is no longer being updated, it has moved to http://gamehaxs.com/

5/16/04 - Lots of news since the last update. I have added a Nintendo 64 section for my recently case modded N64, be sure to check it out. I also put my Xbox into an Athenatech A106 PC case about a week ago. It's basically done, but there are a few details that need to be completed before I showcase it. Some of you may know that some of my work was shown in a recent interview I did for the German Gamepro magazine. They did an article for console case modding. I was contacted to do an email interview and it came out nicely, especially if you can read German. I did a scan of the article pages. Check them out - Page1 Page2 Page3 Page4.

4/5/04 - Hey, everyone. Few things going on. First of all, I modded a Nintendo! Yes it has officially been pimped, check out the brand spankin' new Nintendo section. Just click the button at the top. Be sure to clean up the mess in your pants when you've seen enough. Second, I am thinking of putting my Xbox into a nice pc case, preferably small. If you have any good case recommendations, let me know.

2/16/04 - Big news, folks! I wrote a tutorial on how to case mod your PS2. Check it out right here - TUTORIAL. I also may start taking orders for the Blue S controllers with LED's. I need some more LED's first.

2/6/04 - Well I've got another auction up right now. It's for a translucent Blue controller S with 7 Blue LED's inside. PLEASE BID

1/30/04 - Damn it's been a while since the last update. Some stuff has happened, of course. New year, which means new age for me, 17. Woot. Also, I have written a very good tutorial for installing Xbox jewel LED's. TUTORIAL. And I did another nice Xbox for someone, as well as a much improved PS2 case mod based on my original design. Here are the pics: Blue PS2 and XBOX . Also, I put some blue LED's in my translucent blue controller S, only 3 (that thing is tiny). As of right now I'm also selling my modded Airflo controller on Ebay. PLEASE BID . Check up on me also, as I will be selling some other items in the near future (think blue). Here's the best of the ps2 and Xbox I did.

10/19/03 - How's about a little math? Clear Dreamcast case + 17 blue LED's + unused Dreamcast = Freakin' awesome glowing DC, a.k.a. Smurf Fantasy. Daaayyumm! Also got a 160GB hard drive hooked up in my Xbox, mounted inside the enclosure thing. There's 2 more switches on the back of the Xbox now. 4 new pics, oh boy.

8/21/03 - School is almost near so last minute modding time, and a minor site re-design (rhymes :] ). I modded LED's into my Nyko Airflo controller, Dreamcast VMU, Xbox controller plugs, and maybe other places too. Dreamcast got painted all gloss black with the accessories too. I also built an arcade style DDR pad for Playstation or PS2 use, link in the PS2 page or HERE.

7/28/03 - Lots of new stuff going on in the XBOX department. I updated pretty much all the pics to show what I've done. I put in a new 3D engraved jewel, did the Samsung 616T DVD replacement mod which got rid of the DVD drive in the enclosure so now I can stick another hard drive in there. I also painted the enclosure white with a new logo and painted the eject panel. Besides that I finally took out my matrix mod and flashed the TSOP and halved it with a switch. Looks great!

7/6/03 - I did some more work on my xbox. I put in LED indicator lights for when a controller is plugged in the LED will light up, but I still need to take some pics of it. But most importantly I just finished my LIGHTED BUTTONS mod on my controller. They light up very nicely (see pic). More pics in the xbox section, including wiring.

7/3/03 - I've received pretty much all of my LED's except for the white ones (see pic). To start things off, I wired up a bunch in my Dreamcast. The jewel got the tri-color changing LED, and the controller ports and top buttons got Blue ones (see pic). I just ordered a clear case for my Dreamcast, so I will definitely make that thing light up a like a Christmas tree when it gets here. That's all for now, wish me luck in passing my driver's test in a week or so (I hope).

There's my Dreamcast. I can't wait until the clear case arrives.

Dang I messed up the pic, those on the left are Red.

6/29/03 - I ordered a total of 460 LED's whilst discovering the Ebay retailers' prices (50 red, 100 blue, 50 white, 250 green/red/orange tricolor, and some mystery color changing ones (oooh)). Expect even more updates ; ) I received 50 red 12000mcd LED's yesterday, so might use them for something but I am waiting on the BLUE ones first. I re-did my USB cable adapter for my Xbox to include a glowing blue enclosure thing on the end. There are 4 pics of it in the Xbox section.

6/20/03 - Well, LANp was a success last Saturday (see pics), there were a few case modders, but mostly people who bought all their mods and aren't skilled enough to do it themselves. Especially the one guy that bought an acrylic case and stuck a couple fans and cathodes in it, and who, by the way, was such f*ckin' ass. "Ewww!! LAAAGGG!! What the hell is this shit!? AHH there it is again! There it goes, stealing another one of my kills!"-Really he was more of an asshole than, well let's just leave it at that. School is out for the summer and I'm doing a few mods. Got my xbox eject LED's changed to Blue now. I put up a somewhat failed mod of a lighted PS2 DVD dongle (remote receiver). Also, 56k'ers beware. These pages have massive amounts of pics. I try to make them small file size while maintaining quality, but the amount of them is what's the problem.

Hey look, a bunch of people I don't know. Anyway, I'm standing with the guys I do know. It was a decent LAN.

Man these guys really made my day. Novamaster's "Homies®" are really having quite a good time admiring the "bling" from the CD-R's foil (btw, I think they are from a candy dispenser machine).

5/31/03 - It's been a while since I did any modding, but I have just recently tidied up my PS2 modchip wires and took out the additional fan I had put in previously. I also got new PC parts a little while ago. Couple new XBOX pics as well have been updated. By the way, in case you might not have noticed, the pics at the top of the page are links.

1/28/03 - Last mid-terms are tomorrow but instead of studying, I managed to improve my PS2 because it was pissing me off in its ugliness. Now there's just one huge window now on the top. Also, I got new pics of mostly everything 'cept the xbox. I moved some USB ports of my PC to the front of the case now. Also, I have a dreamcast and I am thinking about moving on to modding it. Any suggestions? Drop me a line. Ben999(AT)gmail(DOT COM)

1/16/03 - Well I had some new pics and I just thought I should make an actual site to show my case modz. There are sections for my XBOX, PS2, and PC.
