It Saved Me Lots Of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Brunt]

Ok well.....

Xbox + 2 games + 1 controller = $299

DVD playback kit = $30

X2 Pro mod chip = $65

Tools = $45

10 rental game fees = $40

-----------------------------

$479



$480...thats a lot of $$$ you tell me...well I know LOL



but!



10*$50=$500



1 xbox game is about $50...so after 10 games it even pays for the rental fees, and the dvd kit that I dont need anymore!!!



Then everything after 10 games...muahahaha



Now that I have the tools..I can do as many as I want...anyone need one done? I live in WA let me know!!



It took me 2 nights to go from NO CLUE to

install chip, flash chip, install dashboard(with edits for network), install hdd -- Ready for games!!



I have also already made 2 CD-RW disks Xbox can read. 1 for booting from Evox(dont need anymore, Evox is on the hdd), and 1 for simple hdd swap.

install new hdd, boot from cd..cd does everything, take out cd, reboot. Your set!



Both disks are in ISO form... :)

Got XboxCopy installed, it allows you to take games you own, put them into the xbox, and rip right from the disk in the xbox to the hdd. Pretty nice.



I need to go buy some more games :afire1:

How is someone whos name defines gay goin to take a jab like that at me?? Don't get me started ray ;)

Syntax is right...I bugged Syntax a lot..but most of the time..he just lead me to the tuts.



www.xbox-scene has everything!



Tools I bought.

$8 Soldering iron = 30 watt, kinda hot but still worked.(Needed)

$10 Soldering kit = soldering tools to help clean area and make sure ya dont hit any other metal traces ect.(Not needed, but helps)

x2 $2.50 LEAD-FREE very fine Rosin Core Solder = What ya melt to make it connect :)(Needed)

*flux = I didn't buy but helps with corrosion(not needed, but nice)

$10 Solder pump = If you have V1.0 which I have...to use the pin head adapter..you need to remove the solder in the holes..if you are using the wire adapter then you dont need the pump. I bought the pump, tried the pin adapter, and removed it, filled the holes back in, and then used the wire adapter.

$10 Torxs #10 and #20 = 20 for xbox case, and 10 for everything else.



Good luck!



Another note....BIOS and Dashboard are TWO seperate things...took me a little while to figure this out LOL



BIOS = flash the mod chip Evox 2.5

Dashboard = files on the hd(menus and stuff..like the OS) Evox 1.8.3285



Let me know if ya need anything!!

[Brunt]

Why didn't you just get the mod chip that does not require soldering?
