September 13, 200322 yr I am interested in modding an Xbox to replace a desktop rig that i use as a media center. From all that i have read, the best chip would be the Xecutor 2.2lite. Im thinking about getting the Plus model which you dont have you soder at all, but it has been not as reliable as the sodered versions. Can anyone reccomend good tolls to do the job, or someone in the USA, california region that could help me out locally?Or any tools that would make the job more simple?In addition to the mod chip, ill be adding a 120gb maxtor HDD and im thinking of spliting the mod chips 1mb bios into 2x 512. One for the new xecutor and the other for Evolution-XAny one experienced in this region of Modding?|Drew|
September 13, 200322 yr I am interested in modding an Xbox to replace a desktop rig that i use as a media center.Weird! I was thinking about doing the same thing! but why mod chips?You don't have to "mod" or even open an Xbox any longer in order to run and permanently install Linux! Convert the Xbox to a Linux-only PC using the Xbox-Linux BIOS ("Cromwell")http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/
September 13, 200322 yr The Xecutor 2.2lite soderless chip works great for me. And actually Kevin on techtv said that was the best one for people who dont want to mess with soder.No difference between the 2.edit...Best place on the net for help:http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php
September 13, 200322 yr Author The Linux exploits are not as effective for my purpose. I want eh Xbox to contain all my media so i can play movies as well as backed up games. I was thinking of doing the streaming method with the mech assult exploit, but i want the games and movies to be local, so i can take it over to friends and watch my wide selection of films, and play all my games without lugging all them around.|Drew|

Yes they seem alot more simple, but i have heard they can be a pain lining up the "d0". Also they reccomend not moving the console around much after, cause the pogos can come off the soder points. Additionaly, im wondering what dash/bios everone is running.Im content in running Evo-x and running Xbox media player as an app within to run divx and xvid films.|Drew|
