Paintball C-Hoe-2

Unhappy modded my Xbox

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

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.

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.

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?
