Squashed

I'm not sure how to check which X2 bios it has. I'm assuming its old based on the outdated EvoX V 3921. It says Bios version unknown but the Kernel is 1.00.4980.06.

I just wanted to share what I think may be a beauty of a find. The Ebay listing had it going for parts only but I'm cheap and had a good feeling about it. As far as I can tell other than it starting up as soon as it's plugged in it is 100% functional. The listing said that it had trouble reading disks and spits them out randomly. I have yet to experience or replicate this behavior(I played and ripped two games from the DVD drive). I was expecting a broken stock machine but as soon as I cracked it open I saw a 160GB Seagate HD. Once I pulled out the drives I noticed that it had in fact been hard modded. It's date of manufacture is December of 2001 so it has to be a 1.0 right? Why would someone sell a gem like this for so little? I'm quite new to all of this but other than the slightly janky wiring and outdated version of Xecuter am I wrong to feel stoked about this one? Anything I should be wary of? I went into this expecting to at least have to recap the board but it seems that that may not be necessary.

Hi everyone, I fell in love with the Xbox the moment I unwrapped it Christmas morning in 2003. Its been almost 20 years now and I've got the itch to go back and play some of the old favorites. I currently have a mystery 20$ Ebay special sitting on my table. I can't wait to crack into it and discover what is wrong with it. I'm sure I'll have many questions and appreciate any advice you all have.
