modded my Xbox

slickcam · 19-May-03, 08:21 PM

I painted the X on the top copper. It looked really good. But nothing is that easy. Seeing as i forgot o clearcoat the top my friend all of a sudden has fascinationand has to touch it and rub his fingers across it. Along with not clearcoating it i also forgot to roughen up the area under where I painted. So when my friend rubbed his fingers across it he left a nice spot along the X and his fingers were all of a sudden magically copper.
Argh

oh yeah, the painting also voided my waranty so if anyhting ever hppen to it, im screwed. But there is a good side to his, i can wipe all the paint off and try again.

I was watching an XBox Project they had going on The Screen Savers. It wasnt really exterior mods, but more on what can be done after installing a mod chip. Thinking I may do one myself in the future.

slickcam · 22-May-03, 08:55 AM

Yeah i saw that episode, i'm also thinking about getting amod chip

chiquita · 22-May-03, 09:29 AM

Upgrade the HDD, install a faster P3, thats all I can think of. The P3 733mhz is in a socket on the X-Box if I am correct, and isn't attached directly to the motherboard.

Maverick · 22-May-03, 09:43 AM

thats not true chiquita. its sodder on to the board. no socket.

hawklen · 22-May-03, 10:52 AM

Yes, unless someone is brave and wants to de-sodder all the pins and attach a faster cpu

I thought the xbox cpu was a celeron?

Maverick · 22-May-03, 11:43 AM

nope its a true p3 hawklen.

hawklen · 22-May-03, 12:21 PM

Ah, ok, now I remember..I thought I read it had half the cache a pIII did..memory sucks..can't remember..lol..

Fu3lman · 22-May-03, 01:53 PM

there was a really good article in the paper the other day about some MIT student who had a 120gig hard drive, and a custom startup chip in his and he was running Linux on his xbox and using it as a webserver, lmfaoooooo

slickcam · 23-May-03, 11:40 PM

120 gigs? If you were gonna do something like thatwhy would you put it in a Xbox?

hawklen · 24-May-03, 09:52 AM

Must be rich, i'd put that in my own rig, not a console..

TykSak · 26-May-03, 02:17 PM

slickcam · 26-May-03, 02:30 PM
