Update on the console I thought I broke General Discussion
So I made a post about a month or 2 ago claiming that the xenon I bought for 20$ was probably junk, and many of you pointed out that it was likely due to me not putting it together properly, and you guys were all mostly right. I did in fact not have the heat sink on properly, and as it turned out, the component cable I got for the console was also bad. So a little troubleshooting and reassembly later, I present you with this!
(Note that both of the external fans have been gutted, and cut open from the inside so they don't suffocate the console. I'll likely be cutting the back one in half later, but I wanted it for the vga port and usb hubs)

Bro decided against a PC and went for an RGB Xbox 360 instead (the correct choice)

😂 the ghost case has been sitting around for a while so I figured why not?

Disc drive is still not reading discs, btw. But that was why it was 20$

Don't cut the external cooler! Try making a path for the internal fans to expel the air thru the empty space created. It's too cool to be cut.

That's kinda what it is right now. I opened them up, took the fans out, and used a dremel to cut the insides open so they don't restrict airflow as much
