The Ghost Case is an awesome mod product that definitely give your 360 a unique look. It goes perfectly with my other mods (a lighted fan and wind tunnel). It does however have a few problems. First of all, the case does not precisely fit the console like the OEM case does. You really have to struggle both to get this thing on and off so I would definitely NOT recommend this to someone who has never taken apart their 360 before! Especially since it comes with no directions. I do not know the situation for the clear dvd lid for the other drives, but I have the Benq dvd drive and there are some problems. You have to almost permanently mangle your original dvd drive to take parts in order for the clear lid to work. After that is done you really need to take time to find the exact right placing for the lid, otherwise it will mess up discs and and not play correctly. Even after doing this I cannot play my 360 in the vertical position because the clear lid does not correctly hold the disc in place vertically. When horizontal I can occasionally hear a high pitched whirring telling me that the disc is scratching against the clear lid. Perhaps I need to open it up and correct the lid's positioning again. Another small problem is that the front faceplate does not position itself correctly over the power button so you have to push very hard to get the power button to work. This will get annoying if you use the power button frequently. There is also no button on the faceplate for the wireless sync button. Its just a hole, so you will need a screwdriver or something similar to reach in and push this button.PROS:
-gives 360's a unique look
-made with thick high quality plastic
-nice and clear, gives you a great look at the inside of your console
-LED lights are simple to install
-comes with clear dvd lid so you can see the disc spin while you play
CONS:
-no instructions
-difficult to take case on and off due to its odd fit
-clear faceplate makes using power and wireless sync buttons annoyingly hard
-clear dvd lid for Benq drive requires you to mangle your dvd drive, its difficult to position, and makes playing the console vertically (with a spinning disc inside) near impossible without destroying the disc
OVERALL:
I would give this product 3.5 stars if I could. When all is said and done its a pretty awesome product and I love it. The difficulty of putting the case and dvd lid on was well worth it, but because of this I would only recommend it to those experienced in taking apart their 360.
