Its finally done!

My Xbox is done

(80Gb Harddrive, Xecuter 2.6 Modchip)

Installing the modchip and harddrive was easy, putting the blue front panel on was really hard and frustrating and I chipped the case a bit by tightening one of the screws too tight (hasn't cracked much at all on the surface though)

lol I haven't even added swish LEDs apart from the dongle. All the LED's on it are standard/from the modchip

80Gb + Modchip is amazing though. I had some friends over for beer and family guy, we played Halo for about 3 minutes, we ended up laughing are asses off playing Street Fighter 2 and Mario Kart 64

So how much did all that cost you, including the Xbox?

The Xbox was ?40 second hand
Modchip was ?25
Harddrive (at the time) was ?40
Blue Case was ?15

So, ?120. About the same price as a stock new Xbox with a few games. I think I did very well, and im definately reaping the benefits of all the emulators and media center apps it has

Looks good, and for the price you paid, I'm jealous.

My brothers friend was desperate for cash. I was a bit hesitant at first but it paid off

Xbox modding isn't too bad, the whole BIOS thing confused me a bit, after getting a BIOS and using a ready made install disk it was easy though

I'm finally considering getting an Xbox, with the release of the 360 hopefully the price in GameStation will fall. ?40 will be hard to beat, lucky git :wink:

And by seeing that sick mod, and hearing HL2 actually works good on it I am now definately gonna get one.
