  2. Hard Drive Indicator Led Video Install

    in Case Mods

    Posted

    Went camping out of town so haven't been active for a bit. 

    Anyway. I bought an assortment of small brushes from Hobby Lobby and used the smallest available. One coat of white and then I just paint over it with whatever color. Used Testor model paint. Takes a bit of practice as you have to be very gentle so the bristles don't separate, overlap the lettering, and touch the face plate.  If you want something similar in size and raised to practice on, go into McDonald's and get a drink. On your way out snag a handful of small lids. The McDonald's "arches" are perfect to practice on and are free. Lolol.

  4. Use a Pc Power Supply (Psu) Externally To Clone Your Hard Drive

    in Tutorial Submission

    I actually have two that I use now. It's much easier than hooking up a splitter each time and also if someone would happen to run into the power issue it'd be a great alternative. I have my main one screwed up to the underside of my PC desk so I can power my E3 Flasher for offboard PS3 NOR flashes and also my Progskeet for PS3 NAND flashes. Have a second one that is strictly for the OG Xboxs. :)

    Thanks man! Once my leds show up, the window and controller ports will be lit up Red.

    Ive tried goof off and it got the paint off fast but turned the jewel foggy.  I didn't want to risk this one.

    Haha yeah I let one of mine sit a little too long and it fogged up. Decided to sand the top a little and give it a "frosted" look and it actually turned out pretty decent. Hard to see the Xbox lettering from the angle but it's still there.

  10. Clear/Painted Jewel

    Great tutorial! Goof Off works extremely well but you can't let it sit too long or it'll leave little "stress" cracks on the front of the jewel. I put a few drops into a pickle jar lid and then drop the jewel in face down for 3 seconds. Then get to scrubbing! Tires your hand and fingers out a bit, but it's well worth the finished product! That red looks amazing with that cut out.

  16. Basic Networking Guide

    in Official Tutorials

    Great tutorial! Very well put together and so easy to understand on a beginner level. 

     

    I didn't see anything about Static connectivity so I am going to add this just in case someone has a similar scenario as I do. 

    I have my main desktop PC that I use basically for storage and mods. It never goes online and it is what houses all of my Games as well as all my Xbox content. So using DHCP and going through the modem wouldn't work for me unless I took my desktop online. So I will add the static configuration just in case. :)

     

    PC setup for Static IP - Open Network and Sharing center. Click adapter settings. Right click your LAN port and hit properties. Left click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPV4) and hit the properties button below. Select Use the following IP address.    

     

    IP Address - 192.168.0.1
    Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway - 192.168.0.2 (This will be your Xbox's IP)

    Once that is done, select Use the following DNS server addresses and leave it blank. Hit okay. 

    Hop onto your Xbox. Go down to System - Select Settings - Select Network. Make sure your cable is not plugged into the Xbox. Scroll down to Type and hit Static instead of DHCP. 

    IP address - 192.168.0.2
    Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
    Gateway - 192.168.0.1
    DNS 1 and DNS 2 - 192.168.0.1
     

    Listed below it will tell you what the default username and password are, as well as the port number for FTP. You will need these once you get to your FTP client in order to communicate. 

    Save the settings. Turn off the Xbox, plug the cable in, turn the Xbox on.  You should see an IP address on the main screen saying 192.168.0.2 Static. 

    Hope this helps those that don't want to use DHCP. :)
