Some people prefer their consoles to be furry and luxuriously soft to the touch. Other people desire something that closely resembles a large scaly reptile that resides in a freshwater environment. Xbox 360 modder dfwmonkie is clearly one of the latter. He created a custom alligator-themed Xbox 360, complete with a scary eyeball on the power button.
The making of the “got gator?” pictures are really quite interesting. Technabob reports that dfwmonkie “created the system’s scaly gator skin using hand-sculpted layers of Bondo, coated with paint and clear-coat to give it the glossy wet look.” Personally, this console reminds me of the Godzilla Size Does Matter poster. But I guess alligator works too.

But when he gets RRoD he’ll never know and needs to remove it all to send it to repairs. bummer if he does.

I gotta get one.
So much cooler than my “snow”-themed XBOX 360.
Keep up the good work,
