A fancy box for your Xbox

A fancy box for your Xbox photo

XB Elegant Edition is a case for your Xbox 360 that actually makes it look like a box. A high-end A/V component, if you will. That weird letter I/pillar/pillow-looking thing not cutting it for you? Maybe this Sweedish-designed box will help things out.

Inside the futurist box is three 120mm fans to keep your system from red ringing, and they say that the larger open area keeps airflow constant and helps limit some of the noise. You'll have to do a bit of modding if you want this look, though:

They say: "Use the case your own risk, the Xbox360 warranty is voided once you break the seals to open up the case. The case's warranty will only cover the chassis itself, and will not include the Xbox 360 or any of its associated components."

No price is given on this box from Industrie Pro yet. I think it manages to look both sleek and boring at the same time.

This should be made out of titanium alloy in case some crazy wemin tries to get your attention.

... That's... ugly. Why would I void my xbox warranty to make it look like an ugly featureless crate?

A 360 Slim would be nice.

I'd possibly consider it if the circle of lights wasn't so awfully positioned.

I'm sure at some point somebody will realize that design is a bit more than "make it white, with rounded corners".

Actually, come to think of it, MS actually did. 'Cause the original XBox definitely looks better than this.

That's not even minimalist, it's just boring. =( Bah. I wish them luck, I think they're going to need it.

Now your 360 can match your bathroom tile flooring. Ingenious!

hahaha Can't believe I didn't see that first.

I think it looks cool, especially since I could use it to stack my ps3 on since it's impossible to stack anything on a ps3 successfully without some kind of modification.

That said, I doubt I'd but it merely for the reason that it voids the warranty, but if I somehow came into possession of a warranty-less 360 I'd get it.

Great gift for those who have always wanted their Xbox 360 to look like a toaster oven.

Call me a freak, but I actually like it. I find the current 360 design rather ugly. >_> And I might try it out someday by buying a used Arcade. I fail to see where the HD or Memory Units would go, though.

Interesting idea, but massive fail with the boring white. If you're going to void your warranty, do it in style.

Sweden designers: Hard at work to make sure the future looks exactly like we thought it would in the 80s.

i think lamborghini or italian car manufacturers in general should design versions of consoles

So this is a plastic case that adds nothing , gives an 80's look and voids the warranty preventing you from getting a free fix for a console that has a high probability of failing (funny how they mention explicitly that their warranty only covers the case itself)? yeah, sure, i wonder why they didn't list the (likely high) price. The day a real RRoD solution appears from a 3rd party, those people are gonna swim in cash, these guys, i'm not buying their story without some proof.

I like the looks of this, but I'll wait for the faceoff review between this and Lian Li's PC-XB01.

Sleek and boring at the same time. That's Sweden!

High-end, lol! That looks like some cheap, no-name brand you'd find in the toy aisle at Kmart.
