Xbox Original,
Pure White, X & HDD Window Mod

Pure white from face to ridges, with the iconic Xbox X cut open and covered in clear acrylic. The X stops being a logo and becomes a window — DVD drive on one side, hard drive on the other, the Xbox jewel glowing through the middle.

The build,
step by step.

Studio-grade. Wet-sanded between coats, finished with an acrylic clear coat for depth and protection. The acrylic window and any engraving are cut on a CO2 laser — geometry impossible to achieve by hand.

  1. 01

    Full teardown

    Every layer separated on an anti-static mat. Two decades of dust removed from a console that was already over-engineered when it shipped.

  2. 02

    Clock capacitor service

    The original Xbox clock cap is notorious for leaking and damaging the motherboard. Replaced as standard — the difference between a console that survives another decade and one that quietly destroys itself.

  3. 03

    Motherboard cleaning

    Full isopropyl alcohol scrub on the main board, capacitor inspection, fresh thermal compound on the CPU and GPU.

  4. 04

    DVD drive service

    Drive disassembled, laser pickup cleaned, mechanism tested with multiple disc types.

  5. 05

    Hard drive service

    Original HDD cleaned and tested; left at factory capacity.

  6. 06

    X-window mod

    The iconic Xbox X cut into the top shell and covered with a sheet of premium clear acrylic, cut on a CO2 laser. The DVD drive and hard drive become visible through the cutout — not stickers, not prints.

  7. 07

    RGB lighting

    Multi-color LED array behind the acrylic, controlled from a phone app. Pick the color, dial in the brightness, set the speed. The Xbox jewel glows through the center of the X.

  8. 08

    Shell refinish

    Original casing wet-sanded between coats, with the white finish laid down in multiple passes and sealed under an acrylic clear coat for depth and chip resistance.

  9. 09

    Reassembly under spec

    Every screw torqued, every panel aligned with a caliper before it leaves the bench.
