I always thought the Xbox 360 looked cool, but this alligator skin outer shell mod makes this Xbox a pleasure to look…if not a little scary.
There are different console modifications practically every day, but this one is so freaky, it is awesome; it engulfs the entire Xbox console with a tough alligator skin making it look like a rich man’s briefcase.
The great thing is that it still retains the original Xbox shape and look, including the actual written logo and power button. Besides the texture and skin difference, the power button now challenges the weak hearted; in order to get your gaming on, you must press on the alligator’s eye. Can you see yourself being able to do that?
I just hope that no real animals were hurt during the creation of this mod.
Uh, that is awesome. It’s just plastic, so an extra layer of it shouldn’t mess with heating too much. The real question should be, will it catch on fire? Friction+cheap plastic+paint= fire.
Love the mod. Agree with OP about the eye and the power of luminescence. In regards to “heat efficiency”… the 360 has none = ) so enjoy the mod for aesthetics and train a cat to hold a fan.

That would be so much cooler (on a scale of 1-10 its already at a 9) if the eye lit up when you turn the power on!
Thats Quality

I wonder where did he get his ‘materials’ to design this, especially the eye…

Taxidermist shops have fake eyes of all kinds. They aren’t hard to find. They can do a very good job of matching the look you want.

Where can I buy one?

Go to yellowpages.com, and just do a local search for your taxidermist shops.
