Console case modding
Console case modding refers to gamers who modify the case of their game consoles. The most common consoles to modify are the Xbox and Xbox 360, because there is much more room inside to customize them with items such as lights, fans, etc. Moreover, the Xbox 360 requires additional cooling over the factory configuration to avoid overheating issues due to the use of EEC-mandated lead-free solder, which is not capable of handling the temperature limits standard solder can. These consoles and their controllers are also relatively easy to take apart. For those who do not wish to scratch-build mods, there are several companies that sell transparent Xbox cases and various cooling/lighting equipment for them.
