The first-generation Xbox 360 consoles are perfect candidates for case modding thanks to their bold design and roomy internals. I previously completed a custom mod years ago, and recently decided to breathe new life into another old console. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps of installing a transparent side window along with some vibrant RGB lighting to give your Xbox a modern, eye-catching look. It’s a fun and rewarding project that brings personality and flair to an otherwise standard console.
While the mod itself is relatively simple, it does require a special tool to safely open the Xbox 360’s case without damaging it. Don’t worry—I’ve included all the necessary information, including links to the parts and tools you might need, to make your modding experience as smooth as possible. Whether you’re doing this for aesthetics, showcasing internal hardware, or just for the fun of customization, this guide will help you get it done with confidence.
