For good reason, it's an incredibly risky operation that can lead to complications only weeks or months down the line. Hard drives are assembled in clean rooms for a reason.
I've been trying to figure out a good fan setup for better cooling and less sound. Then I watch this and go WELL NOW THIS IS MAGNIFICENT. Good job with this I love the style
the mechanical Parts still work after you opened the drive. The Problem is that even a tiny bit of dust can harm your drive, or the data stored on it. The typical dust particle is to big to fit between the magnetic disks and the read/write head, which could lead to mechanical damage. To be safe, you should only open those drives in a dust free environment...
Thank you for seeing the classic xbox modified by your great talent, I was surprised with the modification of the discs, congratulations you are a teacher, greetings from CD Mexico.
This bring memories of when I used to modified Xbox cases for friends/families and made good money from people off Craigslist me modifying their cases and it was fun
I think the best mods are the ones that have that "special edition" feeling. You did an absolute amazing job keeping the stickers and preserving the identity of the console with the colors. I wish you would do another ps3 fat mod. Maybe themed after Metal Gear Solid 4.
I loved how the console was, the colors match well, the rgb is great and the control as well, but why didn't you put the rgb in the control where the logo goes?
best project of the channel for me ...réminds me the first time i saw this console, she was fat but so Much powerfull and ahead of her times, starting halo was like handling the futur and those sensations desapeared over times, now the next gen doesnt Feels like it anymore
That looks rad as hell. This probably my third favorite, behind the blue and silver Xbox 360 E and no. 1 all time, that Gran Turismo PS1. I don’t know if anything can top that one. Would love to see what you could do to a Saturn.
Looks amazing! The color scheme and choices are perfect. From the manufactures date you have a v1.6b console. No need to worry about that pesky clock capacitor. I was also surprised with you opening the HDD. I guess some can be disassembled but it may have been just sheer luck.
Well you truly are a brilliant mad scientist, loved every second of this video. The HDD top shell modification certainly got you a “golf clap” as I was watching this - Amazing work as always !!!
Back in the day when this harddrive mod was common place in the PC modding world you could buy kits to just swap out the top. I always made my own. Would have loved a laser cutter though.
Damn that looks sick. I was scratching my head when you started opening that HDD but if it worked out that's awesome! Most people will shy away from that lol.
Modding the HDD seems like a risky bet, even a small bit of dust particles in the drive could wreck it over the long term. Hard drives are usually disassembled in clean rooms.
Dude, love the hard work and time you put into each project. This original Xbox console is sick! I bought a nice halo green modded one as well a few years back with a Xecuter 3 mod chip and it also has a LCD screen and 2 USB ports. It’s able to play thousands of classic games from these consoles NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, Turbografx 16, Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 2600, Atari, 5200, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan, MSX, MSX2. Would love to see if you could maybe give me a little upgrade! Lol
@@Cam7005 you just buy an used OG XBOX and hardmod/softmod it. To be honest it's worth to do yourself, since you'll learn how to service your xbox and keep it running in the future.
uff. always thought the hdd wont work after you open it. btw. really nice build. a really masterpiece. now softmod it and its the best emulation system in the world
WOOOOOW! It's.. It's... I can't even find the words! You a really cool, man! Never seen anyone do something like this with HDD! I just don't know what to say... It's too great! P.s. By the way, how about customizing a portable console, such as PSP?
@@studiofr I was wondering if you could take my Genesis 2 and put a transparent blue housing shell around it like the blue retrobit controller is made?

lol but id really appreciate you customizng my Xbox One like this
Could you please do a ps4 I'm really looking forward to seeing that one day.
Ps4 fat please
Yeah I'm pretty sure that hard drives life span has shortened ten fold
If anything I would probably just hardmod it and plop my 2TB HDD in it
Never seen the hard drive get the custom treatment quite like that. That’s legendary stuff.

@@Agamemnon2 Yeah, I am very surprised they did this.
It was a ballsy move. Interested to see if it holds up years into the future.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
a true masterpiece, you literally customized almost the entire console. Like!
he must have been in a static free room because once you open a hard drive its almost usless after that unless im wrong.
Such a great mod to an original Xbox. Choice of color is magnificent and that hard drive cutout was very clever. I'm in awe.
I have worked on this model many years but this was clearly one of the best I have ever seen. Nice work!
Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
What a piece of art its just amazing how it looks at the end the nostalgia hits hard when I see it
An amazing customization job! Unbelievable! Congratulations!! One of the most beautiful works I've ever seen! I'm impressed!
What a simple machine! It's great to see something that doesn't require taking out 50 screws.
Dayum, that HDD mod is sick. I'd totally pay for those acrylic cut outs.
Fr tho
The trouble is, drives don't tend to last long once they've been opened. One speck of dust & it's game over.
@@dreamcazman except the SSD ofc.
Another day, fixing another console and making another art in it. Great Job!
You are probaly the best console costumer on YT. Your works are AMAZING!!!! Love it
Wow this is incredible with such detail you are extremely gifted as an artist I’m extremely impressed I’m gonna buy one now
Thanks for your purchase! 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been trying to figure out a good fan setup for better cooling and less sound. Then I watch this and go WELL NOW THIS IS MAGNIFICENT. Good job with this I love the style
Can't believe HDD is still in working condition!!! BRAVO!!!!
WOW!!!!! absolutely flawless workmanship. Looks amazing. Love it!!!!!
That's true love right there. All that work and no emulation or soft mods. A celebration of the og system. Awesome.
literally the most beautiful OG Xbox MOD ever !
Im surprised on how the HDD is still working after being opened lol
It's strange. I don't understand how this hd works!
The old ones are very tough!
@@studiofr I hope you kept it in a static and dust free area with the lid off! You’re a mad man for customizing the HDD, but it looks great
I'm also surprised, yes!

Your Xbox OG is still the best I’ve seen on RUclips❤
The most beautiful design you have ever made
Thank you for seeing the classic xbox modified by your great talent, I was surprised with the modification of the discs, congratulations you are a teacher, greetings from CD Mexico.

Looks very clean. Good use of colors as well
This bring memories of when I used to modified Xbox cases for friends/families and made good money from people off Craigslist me modifying their cases and it was fun
This has got to be the cleanest case mod I have ever seen. Awesome job!
This is my fave og Xbox!
Fantastic job 👌
Awesome, very beatiful, One of the most pretty custom console you ever made
Man that is insane. I love the way this looks.
That's an amazing transformation. I'd buy one in a heartbeat (minus the compromised hard disk). Amazing job.
I’ve seen a lot of mods before. This one takes the cake!!!
I think the best mods are the ones that have that "special edition" feeling. You did an absolute amazing job keeping the stickers and preserving the identity of the console with the colors. I wish you would do another ps3 fat mod. Maybe themed after Metal Gear Solid 4.
one of the sickest mods ive seen great job.
Gorgeous work. Now I had see you, I have to gather the courage to do something with mine and relive them.
That’s beautiful and I wish I could do something like that. Incredible job.
I loved how the console was, the colors match well, the rgb is great and the control as well, but why didn't you put the rgb in the control where the logo goes?
Good idea!
Yeah just use the controller power and ground and it's yellow wire to signal rgb?
best project of the channel for me ...réminds me the first time i saw this console, she was fat but so Much powerfull and ahead of her times, starting halo was like handling the futur and those sensations desapeared over times, now the next gen doesnt Feels like it anymore
I'm speechless dude that was awesome
fantastic workmanship

Nice bring back old console to live 👍👍
Your work in general is done with a lot of Love, My Congratulations once again.
Magnifique, quel perfectionnisme. Tout est propre c'est impressionnant.
¡this is the future of modding now!! Great console btw I have two of them. (V1.1 and v1.6b)
Well you truly are a brilliant mad scientist, loved every second of this video. The HDD top shell modification certainly got you a “golf clap” as I was watching this - Amazing work as always !!!
Lol! I like to do different things!
That’s how it should have looked in the first place, Microsoft! Nice work!!
Excellent as always looks better than what Microsoft came up with for the very first xbox they should employ you to do there console designs
I want this console. Good work. And I love this music at the end.
The interior of the console is of incredible quality.
Yes! You back... Nice work
Back in the day when this harddrive mod was common place in the PC modding world you could buy kits to just swap out the top. I always made my own. Would have loved a laser cutter though.
Based on the loading screen of Ubisoft, I knew which amazing game was being played, wow. Great job too
I do modify xbox from 64mb to 128mb but nothing like this, this mod is just amazing!!
The top view of the console looks great
This is insane! Best I’ve seen!!
gorgeous,perfect custom console xbox,j'adore et je suis fan de ce modele.
Damn that looks sick. I was scratching my head when you started opening that HDD but if it worked out that's awesome! Most people will shy away from that lol.
That vid is awesome glad to see Xbox love 👍🏻
U make it look so easy and fun. Love your videos, keep up the amazing work!
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen, could you possibly redo the ps3 phat model with something similar to this. this looks amazing man
Ps3 is gay
Beautiful console looks amazing nice work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely gorgeous
Nice Job man.
Modding the HDD seems like a risky bet, even a small bit of dust particles in the drive could wreck it over the long term. Hard drives are usually disassembled in clean rooms.
its risky absolutely but you don't need to be in a clean room to do it, however absolutely you should.
Love that green color
Best iv seen yet.... great job 👍🏼
Gorgeous!
For real though, that two tone look with the metallic green paint is absolutely perfect for the original Xbox!

Amazing project!
Great console 👍✌️😊 Nice working
