To get the majority of the nub off I just ripped them off with a pair of pliers. Of course it won’t be pretty nor will it be smooth. After you get most of it ripped off you can use a file or in my case, a Dremel to smooth it out and make it look like it wasn’t just ripped off.

Smooth as a babys.....

Now they look much better. Now that they are smooth they will be able to sit on the bottom of the Xbox flat. Now go ahead and position the feet however you would like them to be. Below you can see the setup I chose. As you may have guessed I’m using Goop to adhere the feet. For right now leave the part of the feet that have the LED attached off to reduce the risk of accidentally glueing it to the rest which will make things much harder later. So you should only have the main part of the feet and the part we removed the nub from together. Apply generous amounts of Goop and apply.

Testing the placement	Goop	Glued

You can see in the below pictures I’m using the weight of the Xbox case itself along with a few items placed in the case to apply pressure to the feet while the adhesive dries.

Make sure you let the adhesive fully cure per the directions on the package. This is very important because we need to drill holes in the feet for the led wires to slip through. If the glue isn’t fully cured it might break off during the drilling and that of course would be bad. Make sure to drill from the feet side into the Xbox. That way all the pressure is pushing the feet into the Xbox instead of away, which could pop them off.

Once the holes are drilled, slide the wires through and screw the last piece of the feet back into place.

To keep the wires out of the way we’re going to leave them underneath the Xbox’s motherboard. After I plugged the ends into the hub I used electrical tape to keep them down, make sure to test the placement of the wires to ensure the wires don’t prevent the motherboard from sitting completely flat like it’s supposed to.

Like usual I couldn’t help myself. I had to get a sneak peak and see how the new addition looked. To be honest I had my doubts about the feet before I installed them, I thought they were a bit too big but I installed then knowing I could remove them if I ended up not liking them, but to my surprise I thought they look quite nice and I’m glad I decided to keep them.

Now to make it all fit back together. If you notice the area to the left in the picture below. There is a bit of space between the motherboard and the DVD drive with no critical components. All of the wiring except the inverter for the cathode will easily fit here. Play around with the wires a little until you can fit the DVD drive in with no issues.

Play around with the wires a little until you can fit the DVD drive in with no issues. That shouldn’t take more than a minute or two. Run the wire that goes to the inverter behind the DVD drive where you have the most room as you can see below. Once you get the DVD sitting flat plug the wire from the cathode itself into the inverter. The best place I’ve seen for the inverter is right behind the DVD drive. It slides in there a perfect fit. The inverter won’t go anywhere as there isn’t any room for it to go anywhere.

Time to put it all back together and show off the modded Xbox in all its glory. This concludes the Xbox modification guide. There are still much more you can do to your Xbox. There are tons of modifications you can make to the software of the Xbox, far too much to list here. For more reference you can check out http://www.Xbox-Scene.com .
