More importantly, I want to know if you've been flashing that Bill Gates Signature plaque you got with your xbox, Ryland. Do you wear it around your neck on a gold chain now?

Sorry man, but I am panning to make use of that box. I would be more than happy to help you get into a new one though. I'll keep my eyes open for a used box.

too bad there's nothing but sheets of metal to see on the inside...
Might be cool to paint from the inside tho...

I'm gonna do a little threadjacking here but...
Have any of you box owners picked up Burnout 3? If you haven't it's teh dope... probably one of the best arcade racers evar.

100 bones for a used box...
30-50 bones for a chip...
50-100 bones for a large HD...
Should be around 170-200 bones (+one patient 3ndar)

Yeah, bout that. Used boxes tend to run a bit more in the states though. Admiral McNevin and I are in the midst of another tri-xbox upgrade/transfer-a-thon. All is going very well.
j.me - you can strip off those pieces of sheet metal pretty easily for a better view of the workin parts. I believe this can lead to the disc easily falling out though.
Burnout 3... 24 hrs in is at 40.9%. Ill let you know.

Since I have an extra Xbox sitting around I'm wondering what my best bet would be to acquire the middle line item mentioned above.

Jeff - I recommend the Xecuter line of chips seen
here . And you can buy em
here .
For all kinds of box scene info you should spend a few days pouring over
xbox-scene .
Good luck. Any questions just ask... cause we've done it a lot.

I think the new Xecuter 3 just came out this week too...
It has a bunch of new features... tho I'm not sure what they are,
and a cool glowing "X" on the external switch.

So I have spent much time playing Burnout 3 now. It does most definitely rock. I think all would enjoy.
I give it 5 space mushrooms.
