Creative X-Fi Gaming Mod

Back to black

Because we were having to practically rebuild the gaming case from scratch, we thought it would be fun if we added a little “Macroman” touch to the project.

Having some surplus black “Limo” tint hanging around, we decided to use it to “stealth” the insides of the case a la'MacroBlack' style.



A piece of tint was cut roughly to size and then accurately trimmed using a large set square and craft knife. This was then applied to the inside of the case.


Some reflective silver tint was stuck to the base of the case to produce a mirrored bottom. This would help to accentuate the internal lighting effects to be fitted later as well as giving the effect of spaciousness inside the case.

The inside of the removable side panel was also given the black limo tint treatment.


A small piece of tint was used to stealth the video screen.
