thats a better setup then i have right now. I just have a couple softmodded ones. I plan on TSOP flashing one but havent got the nerve up yet to do it. As for cosmetic features its stock everything. I havent changed hardware in mine at all other then removing the RF Sheild Grille in front of the fan. They are definetly worth the cooker.

Already blew the 30 quid on modding stuff for the xbox. got myself more solder, glue sticks, a couple of artic f8 fans, thermal paste, some more led's and strip lights etc lol

frist thing i do always is remove as much of that metal crap as i can. the entire top shell, mesh in front of fan and both sides completely removed lol i hate the stuff !!!

Replacing unused space hogs for something you can use and cash, nice deal I think. Both X2 chipped are they?

Not a fan of those chips but easy to swap over if need be. They were pricy little suckers when new, for what I do not know.

to be fair i just know little about them. just kept using the xenium ice ones since there were nice custom etched jewels for those chips about :)

as i say i know little about chips and bios's so im sure im not really getting the full use outa them but its another 2 xboxs i can throw bigger hdd's in with relative ease and get modding :)

Yes, they're (presumably both) X2.6 boards.
