kingpinjimi Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hey team and thanks for letting me join. I am a basically a newbie when it comes to anything mod related but have many years of background in telecommunications and networking. I had an xbox many years ago, but I eventually traded it for who knows what. I worked with a guy that hard modded them (this was probably circa 2006 or so) but he asked a hefty price to do so and I was young and broke. Flash forward to today and I found a near perfect condition OG at a thrift store. I am working on slowly taking it apart and learning as much as I can. I think it is a version 1.0 maybe 1.1 as it has the original gpu fan still. It also seems to keep time and the caps all look pretty good to me. I tend on replacing them anyway just to be safe, but need to practice soldering first. Looking forward to asking questions and learning what I can. I hope I can also bring some knowledge and skills to the table to help other people. Here are a few pics I've taken so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpinjimi Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 So there seems to be a layer of rust on the cage. Has anyone seen this before and have any suggestions for removing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lina_Inverse_ Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hello and welcome! The clock cap will need to be removed (I typically rock back and forth until it comes free) or swapped, but the rest seem fine on visual inspection. I believe that's a 1.0 revision console. Are you thinking of modding your Xbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
