i've seen some bad info out there for noobs trying to mod a xbox for the first time. the 2 main ones are to null or modify your hdd key(without disclosing any of the dangers) instead of just keeping the old hdd as a backup to create another drive if needed and the 2nd one is to pry the gpu heat sink off. please don't do this, especially on a xbox that has sentimental value to u. this is a good way to ruin it. we really need to start being more careful what we tell noobs to do. i know my original xbox has a lot of sentimental value to me because it still has the game saves from where i used to go to lan parties with it back in the mid 2000's. i'd be heart broken if one of these guides caused me to ruin it. many other would probably feel the same way about theirs.

Hey everyone! The OG Xbox was my console back in the day, I installed a modchip and astounded friends with XBMC at the time haha! I've had a few "project" Xbox's in the years since, but can never be bothered to finish anything and make it look pretty. Recently I've been itching to pick up my project from a few years ago: a nice crystal 1.4 with a RAM upgrade, some fun lighting and built in HDMI. The hardware's done I'm just too lazy to sort out the lighting setup I want. So it's great to find this place! My people! I guess I'll see you on the boards
