Hi people.

Typical story for me.  Recently found my og Xboxes while rummaging through my collection so I started playing it again.  With insignia starting up I'm really interested in getting them in shape.  

The first console is my original one I bought way back when they first came out.  I shelved it because the dvd drive stopped reading discs.  I vaguely remember messing about with it and turning up the laser but I never got it working. It's now showing some signs of tracing issues with the eject\power button but I haven't pulled it apart to investigate yet. It's never been modded other than the case.  I'm most interested in getting this up and running since it's mostly sentimental.  That means probably a soft mod, bigger hdd and a borrowed disk drive so I can actually do the soft mod then switch to installed games forever.  I have several hundred game disks already so I want those to go on the hdd.

Second console I picked up on the side of the road a decade ago and it's like new.  Everything is perfect but it is a 1.6 so I'm thinking chipping it, bigger hdd and storing games on it as well but keeping the disk drive as a back up.

I just have no idea where to start with the mods, it's all very confusing just dropping into so late in the game.  I mostly just want to keep the old girls alive for another 20 years and have some fun now.  Very much waiting for insignia to get steel battalion going.
