She’s staring at you right now. Red eyes. No soul. Zero remorse. Tony’s latest nightmare masterpiece.
Behold a fully custom, one-of-a-kind Original Xbox built on the bones of Microsoft’s never-released prototype chassis. The one that never made it to shelves. The one that shouldn’t exist. The one that’s now sitting in Tony’s workshop looking like it wants to start something.
And she’s one Cold Hard Bitch. She’s not for sale, and not for display. Fully functional, modded to the teeth, and ready to absolutely destroy your living room shelf.
One winner. Drawn live. Determined by fate.
What Is This Thing
Microsoft’s original Xbox prototype – the one from before the final retail design – had a distinctive X-shaped deep shell that never made it to production.
Printed in-house here at the Gardendale Garage on Tony’s Creality K1 Pro with Tony’s painstakingly crafted custom STLs, the chassis is a faithful recreation of the original prototype. Except this one is feral.
The result is a modular prototype shell built around a fully functional, modded OG Xbox motherboard – internal HDMI, big storage, the works. The same chassis also fits a 360 mobo, and a slightly scaled version houses a full PC for emulation. One shell, multiple builds. Tony runs them all.
Cold Hard Bitch is the OG Xbox build. And she is absolutely unhinged.
