Hello From Nc

Hello,

I've been in the scene loosely for years now. One of our local game shops shut down recently, and left his "bad" Xbox collection with a friend of mine. So, as a part of a deal I modded an Xbox and left one unmolested. As for my end, I received 4 of them, and they seem to work fine. I figured I would reach back out into the community to see if anything has changed. The modded Xbox has a 300gb drive in it to start with, and will stay that way until he gets tired of the smaller drive. I definitely regret not purchasing an Xecuter chip when the price was a bit more rational, but softmodding seems to work perfectly fine for my uses. I did have to replace a few capacitors on his board, because the tops were bulging and leaking.  But all is well. I'll soon put a hard drive in one of the ones he gave me, and probably sell the rest. Now I have to wait for the 50gb queue to ftp over onto the Xbox so I can take it back to him, but it's worth it to relive the magic.

What should I do next? Put a larger SATA drive in it? Maybe take the leap and put an SSD in its place? I think I want to get a ghostcase and clean it up a bit. I think I'm ready to put together a console that will last me a while.

Thanks for paying attention to my rantings!
