Damn so I have to basically scrounge off Video cards in order to get a good heat sink lol

Well I just keep every heat sink off anything that dies

It was also off a 7600GT, this one to be precise: http://xtreview.com/images/xpertvision_7600gt.jpg its under the white plastic. The green one was off a card like this: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2006/03/09/ati_and_nvidias_same_day_mega_launch_mayhem/7600gt02.jpg I'm not sure what the difference...

Has anyone ever tried finding a Heatsink that matches the IceBerq 4 Pro? I mean just one that has the mounting points in the same spot? This cant have been the only VGA heatsink with that footprint can it? The heat sinks from older graphics cards fit nicely with minimal bodging. I think these were ...

I think the way I'd do it is cut the connector off a set of xbox A/V cables and install the switches into that. That way you can just unplug the connector module and plug in any set of A/V cables if you needed too, without having to worry about which setting the switches are on. Alternatively you co...

Oooh that's an excellent look

Just so I'm clear, you've plugged the xbox in using a cable like this? http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/jimmo_2006/cmc1000-component-cable_zps3seriz5q.jpg~original Really I can only guess at how those connectors are wired inside the xbox but I'd assume you'd get exactly the same output as you w...

Looks like component(YPbPr) out and maybe the white one is digital audio. It means you won't have to buy xbox component leads to get 480p/720p out, although you will need some male to male component leads.

Oooh nasty! That does seem to be a fuse(my mistake), I'd not heard of them blowing before. would hooking it up to my PC via a IDE caddy work ? If its unlocked then Xplorer360 will be able to read it. Trying that would be a good test to see if it is locked. You can't unlock a hard drive that way thou...

Ive seen the blown fuse . Its burnt out and I think the solder pad is missing now too after I messed around with it :( Can you take a picture of it for us? If not can describe where it is on the motherboard? Is there any text near it? Again I'm not sure there are any fuses on the motherboard, so ma...

if i bought a cheap 2nd hand xbox and installed a modchip could i just swap the drives over and use my old drive ? yes if it isn't locked. If it is locked then things will be a bit more tricky. Repairing your current motherboard might well be easier. What exactly happens when you try and turn it on...

I'm typing this on my almost completely silent water cooled PC, and whilst water cooling is jolly good fun, it would be completely overkill on an xbox and a colossal waste of money and time. Just replace the thermal paste if you haven't already and the fan too if you feel it needs it. Very cheap and...

I miss that wiki lots of handy info on there. Thank the gods for wayback machine!

Sounds like a good plan to me

I reckon it'll work. I used to use headphones connected directly to the xbox with no amp and had to have the volume at -30 otherwise it would be too loud. I doubt you'd be able to hear much from those speakers once they're inside the xbox but for the LED effect thingy I'm sure it would work. I don't...

Glad I could help
I always have a set of ArctiClean for removing the thermal paste in PCs and it works on the xbox bubblegum too. Certainly not worth buying if you're only going to use it once though.

I've zipped things together to make it easy for you. Download and unzip. You can edit the network section, in evox.ini in the evox folder, to save using the controller to do it on the xbox. This is optional. Run EVtool, click open and open \all you need V3\evox\Bios\M8plus.bin Choose what you want f...

Saw this yesterday, posting about it without turning it on is the ultimate tease

I'm sure you could break it out to nice external box and use wire wrap components
