i wanted to put this here as im a noob and since i started here i wanted to make this for all of you to share! right ive measured up getting a dremel for xmas and have several q's i wanna clear up before i start!
1) cos im on a budget i wanna use a cheap chip just so i can get rid of the dvd drive dont care about other features cos wot a softmod can do is enuff for me -
2) am gonna install a laptop hard drive (maybe) to make it as light as possible.
3) am considering whether or not to put a small (between 5-8 inch) lcd screen on top of my xbox with a hinge so it pops up how do i connect the screen to the xbox?!?!
4) cos i have a spare dud xbox was gonna build the case and everything then "mount" my chipped motherboard and hard drive in the places ive chosen using the power supply already init will i have problems?!?
my shopping check list looks a little something like this -
320gig hard drive
controller port leds
7" lcd screen
assorted cables/screws/splitters
replacement fans
really im looking for assurances like dont worry nothing will go wrong! lol!think ill start cutting on the 28th! wish me luck! oh there was a request for sum measurements as soon as i scan em ill post em!
