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.

Re:Xbox mods

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)

Re:Xbox mods
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

Re:Xbox mods
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.
