I'm not too handy with softmods but with that error you might be able to just FTP a new build of XBMC to it, reboot it and it should boot to XBMC from there. For XBMC just download the latest build and copy all of the files inside the XBMC folder to the, this is where i could be wrong, dashboard fol...

The Halo green's are really easy to find here stateside for under 100$ easily, the Dew's of course are random and pricey.

Depends on which one, some of those have to have an external programmer (stupid). If it's not that style you could do a hotswap like your talking about and flash the chip. To make it easier for you I recommend having two D0 wires attached to the motherboard(use the bottom point)so that you can liter...

Havent been by they're shop but they are 300 miles north of me in Dallas. I'll be honest I"m not a big fan of them only because they've gone so mainstream and big. I was walking around the grocery store yesterday and saw a Gas Monkey Garage shirt being sold by the Wine/Beer isle. Now these guys...

Grab a chip like Nemesis suggests, be careful though because some of those Aladdin's do not come pre-flashed with a BIOS that you can use so you'll have to figure that out first. I would recommend either borrowing or trying to find an DuoX2, super simple and easy to use and usually come with a good ...

Not sure if you could TSOP flash it without replacing and locking the drive first... Since he's purchasing the xbox first it will come with a locked factory hard drive, just need to TSOP it and then swap out the drives. You have to do it this way anyway so that you've got a bios that will support a...

Agreed with the Nemesis approach, chip or even easier just TSOP mod it. As far as a hard drive goes, buy a used IDE. In all the years I've purchased them on EBAY I've had only ONE fail me and the seller sent me a new one the next day and said I could keep the old one, no questions asked. Find a used...

Farm is looking great Xman, get that knee fixed up or go buy a new one.

Agreed, would love to get some green xbox's over to you guys and I dont mind shipping at all.

Those heatsinks on the CPU are like that, they will wiggle alittle bit which is fine. As long as it's seated well and firm you'll be fine. It's easy to remove the X3 and move it over however when you solder the pinheader to a 1.6 board you'll also need an LPC rebuild board or solder some wires from ...

Hmm well I guess you can rule out the PSU then. Just for the hell of it you might try disconnecting the HDD power and IDE cable with your newish PSU in there and see if it stays on longer, sounds to me like you've covered most of the bases and did it well. PJ may be on to something with swolen caps,...

I say mod it up, you only need the disc to load the game and from there load up the softmod exploit. As long as the game loads and functions you should be all set.

Well since those are easier to find here and the crystals are more common there you could always work out a trade type of deal with one of us. I'm sure there are some forum members that would be happy to do this including my self. Hell I was going to send Heimdall a Green Halo SE xbox for his dedica...

Hey Keith, sorry man that was last little hidden jewel laying around. I'll keep an eye out for you though.

There is a chance that I might have one Nigelp12345. I've got an old silver XCM case in my closet but I'm thinking the previous owner used super glue to secure the jewel, that will distort it big time. I'll check tonight and let you know. EDIT: Found it.Good news is that there is only one little glu...

i think your asking abit much for the xbox tbh, 110 usd is over 70 quid uk and there going here for around 20 quid which is a little over 30 dollars. Ive sold over 50 xbox's now and never asked more than £50 unless there hard modded for example Price on a Crystal is much more in the US since they'r...

Are you crazy 110 us dollar? I bought an Xbox 1.6 Crystal with 180 GB HD with super alladin modchip for 30 us dollars last week. You got a killer deal. Might want to look up average prices before posting to save your self some embarrassment, his price is more than fair since it's got the original b...

I like that grid pattern. I thought for a second that you had actually made cuts in the lid in that pattern, that would be some good cooling for the hard drive.

+1 good seller

Sounds like a pain in the ass. Why not just transfer Coinops and all of your content from one xbox to the other via network? You can use XBMC or Avalaunch and have the two xbox's see each other, then transfer from one to the other. It may not be the fastest but if you use Avalaunch you'll get 10mbs.
