MAKE: Blog: Adding form to function, consoles take a hit

Adding form to function, consoles take a hit

Anything is possible with a little bit of force. This X-Box has been maimed by a powerful waterjet that has managed to cut a clear circle out of it, rendering it useless, but interesting to look at. Just don't try plugging it in or something could blow up.

Un nou mod per a la 360 - Link, earlier post on the subject here.

It's about as useful as my xbox, which went red-ring last night. *sigh*

That's just so wrong. I'm sincere. As a maker and remaker (fixer?) I hate to see anything maimed when I know it just needs a good smack with the hammer.

That reminds me of Kung Pao Enter the Fist!

Our 360 went red-ring the other night too! Sigh, indeed.
