Customized Xbox System

SlothX311 · 09-05-2005, 09:15 AM

I am selling my Xbox. As much as I love this little baby, I am trying to raise money for my car. This is a customized xbox, but in no way have I done anything illegal to it. There is no illegal software installed, or modchips. This Xbox has been modified mainly for fun, and partly for preformance. This Xbox is also worth more than a new Xbox, because it is up to 40% faster than a stock Xbox, also it runs colder, which allows for more FPS

This is what I am selling:
(1) Customized Xbox
(2) Afterglow controllers, by Pellican (green)
(1) Afterglow controller, by Pellican (no LEDs)
(1) DVD playback kit, by Microsoft (reciever and remote)
(1) Forza Motorsport
(1) Halo

Visual Modifications:I painted the Xbox, two-tone, silver and black. The paint job is basically flawless. I also bought an "underglow" kit offline. It is a piece of acrylic with a neon on the back, which lets light shine through it. The neon on the back is green. Also on the underside vents of the Xbox I added a switch to toggle off/on the underglow. I also cut holes in the sides of the Xbox and added two (2) 80 mm Cooler Master fans, both blowing in, they are green LEDs as well.

Preformance Modifications:The first thing that I did to this Xbox was took out the heat shield that lined the inside of the xbox underside, and underlid. This made the Xbox run about 5 degrees colder. Then I custom cut an 80 mm Antec fan to fit inside the Xbox, where the stock one was. This took the Xbox down another 5-7 degrees. The two (2) 80 mm Cooler Master fans added for another 5-10 degrees off of the initial temperature. Another preformance modification that I did on my Xbox was to remove the original 40-pin IDE cable, and replace it with an 80-pin EIDE cable. This modification alone allows games to load up to 40% faster.

too much free time?............yes

how did i speed it up?...........i took out the 40-pin IDE cable that almost anything going into or out of the Xbox has to travel through, and replaced it with an 80-pin EIDE cable.....its like making a 4 lane highway into an 8 lane one
