transformers, robots in disguise

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 1:29 am

last night i turned the power on and the green light shined through the transformers symbol... and then my xbox turned into a porsche... im now wanted by the cops for speeding and fleeing from the cops on my auotbot! Ok ok... i had a dream. haha. but it looks... Sooooo cool just to stare at it. lol.I looked at PC fans for hte xbox... but how do i make the (red/black) wires to a plug or something to cool the xbox. all the pc fans have a connector for PC.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:40 am

Depends on how you want to do it and what voltage the fans are. the usb port on the back can supply a 5v line. otherwise you'll have to use a big battery, adapt to the current xbox power cord or make your own so that it drops the wall voltage 110v to 12v. which is done a lot with little black wall plugs for cellphones, toys and charger things. I will be using a wall plug that drops it to 12v.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:09 am

i wanna wall plug one, and want to have a switch on the box for the fans to turn off and on.I guess i gotta do more research. i gotta get some stuff to bring the xbox up off the ent. center.Man... i love my xbox... its all transformered out! haha

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:21 am

haha nice Mike now where are its arms man i want the elite xbox so bad but i dont have the $$$ for it. i hope it will still be available for a while.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:26 am

No worries, the xbox will be competing with nintendo and sony for a while.The arms are underneath and lift it up before transforming. I was lucky to get an elite... they are hard to come by sometimes. and now i have 2 xboxs. but gotta get rid of the premium one, to cover what this one costs.LOL... i should take a screen shot of my xbox R6V character wit my face on it. its funny.

thats awesome rizzle..VforVIBE would be so jealous

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 6:20 am

she should be happy im joinin the transformer bandwagon. : PLOL... thing looks soo sweet. i would put the other one on, but i dont stand my xbox up. so anyone want the other side for a really small fee? faceplates are kinda spendy though. i paid 24+tax. but it comes with 12 interchangeable transformer skins.

HEY! thats not nice... get your own! haha.i was lookin at posters on ebay, but they all were scam type ones.. and only like 18 X 22 or something.. i was at least 24x36 or bigger.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 12:05 pm

MS will not drop the elite, the black edition is suppose to be "special" so once that run is done they go white like the normal ones. They are just hard to find because they havent fixed their hardware failure yet. Once that i sdone they will mass produce the black or finally drop the "special" run of black and make the white ones. The black was to compete with ps3 and was suppose to be a limited run.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:27 pm

North... theres a LAPTOP cooler at target here. its got like 2 fans and an outlet to bring out the warm air. its about the size of the xbox too. and brings it off the ground like 2 inches... i might get it or get a pic to show you. its 29.99.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:27 pm

i hope MS keeps the black casing once they "fix" what they need to fix. cause that box is sweet

Most are cheapies, but the targus one is one of the better ones.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 12:03 am

LOL... thats the one. it lookes nice too... and i wont have to fabricate a lil stand for the xbox. : )I just bought katie a 19" lcd (monitor type) tv... so i can play xbox and not hear bout watching tv. ; )Nascar... they have a nice glossy black case that replaces the xbox case too... incase they dont make the black anymore. my buddy here did that before getting the elite. it looked bad ***.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:19 am

hey North... you gonna be on tonight?Heres the link for the targus cooler...http://www.target.com/gp/detai...E1RGI

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:33 am

any link for this glossy black case there rizzle? i wouldnt mind one of them..or a CF one

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:34 am

dont buy that one yet, I might of found some better maybe cheaper ones, but dude that was a fantasitc idea! it will make that bottom cooling so much easier with that. I cant belive i didnt think of it

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:43 am

fire - the full case replacements will void your warranty. But the thing rizzle has it a vinyl or sticker that goes onto the system. here are some coolers I found:http://www.newegg.com/Product/...96401h ... ..84002The top 3 are fairly good.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:48 am

my buddy is gonna check his email. it was 50 bucks though. but it looked good.Ill wait on the fans North... but yeah that idea just clicked one day.Let me know asap, cuz i wanna get one just in case.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:29 am

i think im getting this one. It pushes the most air and has 3 fans. Most have only 2 fans.http://www.newegg.com/Product/...87001EDIT: ohhhh yes PGR3 came in the mail today to my parents house! Now I just need forza and my collection is complete until next month when more new games are coming

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 9:26 am

but like they say its made of plastic... if you get the targus one i beleive its metal. and when metals cool, it stays cool which would help keep the xbox cool. and they say any pressure and you rub...also how would it turn on if plugged it and all... just plug and play?

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 1:04 pm

eh it has 3 fans and its made to be under a laptop which gets as hot or hotter. Either shoudl work but the 3 fan one moves more air, cfm's.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 3:18 pm

oh i just found the one. Aluminum case, 3 fan, 35cfm (most are 25-28, the kingmax one being 30. that targus one is 27 or so), which is the most iv'e seen out of all of the laptop coolers. Also has full venting on the part the xbox will sit.http://www.newegg.com/Product/...92013OR this one looks betterTitan TTC-G1TEDIT: you never mind me i keep finding new ones everyonce ina bit...so I need more time find one, but mine will be 35-40cfm with 3-4 fans.EDIT EDIT: k so im stuck between that titan one that does 40cfm, which I think may be tilted on one side more than the other, like to hold your laptop tilted up... OR http://www.startech.com/Produc...&c=USthe startech one is 40cfm, black AND has under 24dB which is WAY quieter than the others! thats nuts..well with 4 fans running at lower rpm it makes sense....ill prolly get this startech one. it will look good under the elite.Whats the dimensions of the xbox?this startech one is12.8x10.4 inch

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 1:08 am

well i just settled for teh targus one.... low and behold, it was plastic too... i wonder if there is even an aluminum one... its a good hot/cold conductor. : (It actually works too... th fans had some cool air comin out. i just need a fan for the back of it... boy it got hot. my elite was on for bout 4-5 hours with two different 20 minute breaks bein off. also thinkin of gettin that nyko one to try it... not sure.North we miss you... we are trying to plan a team SPH sharpshooter agianst a friend who left the clan. you gotta join us.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 2:56 am

Dang rizzle, I know I have it plugged into my friends switch but there is no internet..I bet he has static IP's and my xbox is in dhcp right now...Ill go see what I can hack up. Im going to order that one laptop cooler...cant remember at the moment i was sort of intoxicated last night while looking...if you can tell from my rambling post..that was edited like 8 times haha. Now I just need to get some quiet high flow case fans...hmmm dude I miss rsv already!! The new maps are cool, if I could freaking play them I have a couple friends with the game too but both their xbox are being reparied at microcrap ahhahah.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 3:33 am

Can't remember how long it was last time, but 4-6 weeks seems right. Haven't gotten to play with HS much yet, but it seems pretty damn cool!

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 4:21 pm

well it should be only a 2 week wait, but after they announced the 3yr ROD warranty they got a TON of xbox's sent in so the wait time is crazy long now....if its anything like my roommate you just wont hear from them...everOH BTW, i get internet at my new town home monday....sooo game on!
