I painted my Xbox! I did it as a result of a marathon with customer service...
So, long story short (Think 8 hours of microsoft customer service long...:( ) I sent my Rrod Xbox in under warranty to Microsoft and they denied it, citing tampering. I'm not the guy who does any of those -blam!- Jtag or DVD drive firmware hacks.
Anyway, I fought it as far as I could, I even got some customer service that wasn't based in India! I got flamed by all sorts of forum trolls when I tried to plead my case. But none of my efforts led to a solution. Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands and fix the damn thing myself. Which after researching different methods I finally found a satisfactory repair method. It's been working great for months and hasn't been banned, in spite of microsoft's diagnosis. Hooray!

When I had it opened up, I figured, this thing would be hella easy to paint with the shell off. So I did! Initially I was just going to paint it red, but as I got going my imagination kinda took over. I replaced the ring of lights, installed a blue talismoon fan added my emblem to the side and even stenciled on part of my gamertag in a Halo font. It turned out so good, I did two more, one in brown and another in blue. Figure maybe I'll sell them on ebay or something.
