    Painting them your self is pretty easy if you take your time. Buying someone's painted case would cost you cause you are paying for their time and effort. If you do not want to paint, then I'd suggest a "skin." Very easy to apply and look really awesome. I have a "green carbon fiber" skin on my XboX

    Google "Xbox skins," there are a TON of sites.

    I don't like the wraps because of durability (the cheaps ones are absolute GARBAGE).

    I have resorted to painting my own (but I also have experience painting cars and doing automotive body work, oils on canvas, etc).

    The best paint for this is the Fusion paint (available at many stores like Walmart, Meijer, etc). It bonds well with the plastic, especially when prepping plastic properly.

    I even tried scratching it with keys and it won't scratch off. If you want a real glossy finish, go with model car paint.

    Here is one of them here (the blue haze is just in the photo and not overspray):
