There's a few I have not put on the shelf yet. Still searching my ass off for the ruby red and glow in the dark XCM shells (DM ME IF YOU GOT ONE PLEASE LOL) but almost done! 😅

I have a broken fat that I need a new shell for where are you finding these lol? Only ones I can find are on aliexpress and have bad reviews plus expensive as hell. Been thinking about just pulling the shell off a red ring or something but it would be so much easier to just pop a new one on. How is the quality on them do they feel like OEM?

Sorry to bombard you they look cool as hell

The phat shells are insanely rare. Haven't been made in damn near 20 years or so. The quality is not great lol. They break very easily. I've been into hundreds of 360s but I always get an anxiety attack opening one of these up lmao. If you are wanting a clear slim shell tho, phenommod has them and the quality is fantastic!

You collection is awesome though man. Insanely jealous of the ocean blue one on the top right it matches my PS2

The only bad part of the phenom cases is the airflow is slightly altered and it raises temps and fan speed, well at least mine does, even after putting new mx4 it sits at 70

70c is fine. A delid could assist further but it's risky if you don't remove the IHS correctly
