Re:Xbox mods
 
Price for parts and $100 for Install + everything I have.
chip runs 45.99 and HDD's vary depending on sise.
I have only use western Digital Hard drives in my installes because I trust em. Might be a little more then other brands but they are higher quality in my book and I have built/repaired computers for the last 10 years. though if you have a request i can check into compatibility and install it.

All my installes are Soldered in, non of these solderless adaptors, they have too many problems with seating or coming off.

I will put together a list of what i have on the box that comes with it tonight when i get home.

well thats without HDD, and price on those vary depending on sise and the prices change almost daily. but here is as of today.

WD 200gigs run $114.00 WD 160's run $91.00
WD 80's run $62.81
WD 40's run $52.33
they used to have 120's but they arnt listed right now.

These prices I got off newegg.com where i get all of my drives.
If your looking at another brand let me know so I can see if it is compatible with the Xbox. (they have to be lockable drives)

Hahaha yeah biger is better.

Lets put it this way, most xbox games run about 4 gigs each. most movies run from 200 megs to 4 gigs.
(1000 megs = 1 gig)
So the more room you want to have to put stuff on it the biger the drive you go.

200 gig's is alot of space

Well its would be faster if you paypal the $ so i can order the parts and get them on there way too.
That way when i get the box i should have the parts around the same time and can get it done faster. usualy takes about a week for everything. takes about 3 days alone just to copy all the files over to it.

My personal one has a Xenium chip with usb/controler port, external 10 color LED for status, 200gig drive, upgraded fan, Fake carbon fiber skin. Etc...

I have about 50 real Xbox games, about 15000 Emulated games from every system I could find including Sega Genises-SNES-NES-N64-Coleco-DOS games-PS1....

also has about the entire Futurama collection, about 10 movies, ATHF seasons 1,2 and 3 and a bunch more.

I have also done LED mods on the controllers so I can tell which one is plugged in without having to follow the cords.



So wait... After i mod it and put my 200 gig HD in... i can play ps2 games? and other games as welll???
