Modder Selling Iron Man Xbox with Arc Reactor

10:30 PM - August 25, 2010 - By Jane McEntegart - Source : Tom's Guide US

Sure, a regular Xbox 360 is just as fun to play, but it doesn't look nearly as cool.

It's not as mental as some of the case-mods we've seen in the past, but there's a certain amount of charm in this Iron Man-themed Xbox. Created by sculpture student Zachariah Perry Cruse, the console is painted a deep, matte red with glossy gold trim and features an arc reactor complete with blue and white lights. For those interested in the actual Xbox used here, it's supposedly a 120GB last generation console with HDMI.

Zachariah had the finished product for sale on eBay but has since pulled the listing (reason not known) and is selling it privately instead. No word on how much he's asking, but if you're interested, you can contact him via email at pkmnjunky7@aol.com.

Mr Cruse has plenty of more mods under his belt, including a NES-themed Gameboy Color and a Super Nintendo Portable. He previously sold a wearable arc reactor (seen below) on eBay, but only after he'd worn it to the Iron Man 2 screening himself. Zachariah said the reactor was made from "what was essentially stuff I had lying around on my workbench," and conceded, "It didn’t turn out too bad considering the hasty nature of this project." It sure didn't!

Check out his blog for more of his modding.

It would be cool if the reactor acted as a fan too, you know to prevent the RROD

I'm sure Microsoft will find a way to ban it from Live.

danimal_the_animal :
I don't know HOW MANY TIMES i need to say this...The RROD is non existant with all brand new current models of the arcade system....they all blow COLD AIR out the back!!!!!i have windows media center in my front room and have 3 xbox 360's feeding TV to all the other rooms in the house and they are on all the time.....STILL BLOW COLD AIR OUT THE BACK and they are all 1 year old!!!!the old xboxes ran hot....just buy new and not used....sheesh!

I do not believe it is your job nor responsability to educate people of this, if they are silly enough to not know RROD has been fixed I would not bother pointing it out over and over again to them, as you will be just wasting your time.

On topic: Mod looks great, very neat and great colours, good job mate!

There are many forms of RRoD, not just over heating issues. Although, its nice to see that they're failure rate isn't 60% anymore.
