WTB: Xbox in UK

Guys,

It's been a while...
I was a member on the old forum, before you all lost everything, probably 2 and a half years ago now.
I sold my beloved 2Tb Aladdin 'box on that very forum, shortly before the loss.

I thought I could move on, but I can't! I'm itching for another Xbox...

Anyone in the UK able to set me up with something?
I can't face scouring eBay for bits or breaking out the soldering iron.

I have a 160Gb hard drive sat around doing nothing so I'd love to get some use out of it....
I could send it to someone to build me a system on? I could try using Chimp? You might already have a system with a decent amount of storage in?
Heck I might even be tempted if you could simply hook me up with a softmod kit!

Thanks for any offers in advance.

Welcome back Snipa.

Yep. I've got a bunch of bits and a couple of complete boxes, depending on what scale of project you fancy.

Check your PMs.

Thank you to those who contacted me. I'll get round to replying to you all personally very soon.
Just a quick update:

I got an Xbox from a mate at work.
Picked up a softmod kit from dan.h in the Marketplace here.
Ran the softmod.
Used Hexen to clean up the drive.
Re-did the softmod.
Installed XBMC on E.
FTP'd the latest XBMC.
Set XBMC on E as Dashboard.
Used Chimp to clone my clean softmodded drive onto the 160Gb drive I had lying around.

Everything worked perfectly first time.

Thanks again to all those who contacted me.
It's good to be back!
