Well, here's my plan so long...

I want to mod one of the dead (but now working :P ) consoles FIRST. This mod will probably NOT include water. Once i'm done with that mod, i'll mod my own personal 360, with water :D

Ag i'll see how it goes hey...

man I am so confused...

you started with the dead console right?

and then you say "Here is my console running CoD4"...

so you actually did what you did to the dead 1 to your WORKING 360 as well, and that is the pic you showed?

sorry it is still early... :)

Unfortunately the HD-DVD drive can't play the games :(

The drives aren't available in SA so none of my sponsors would have one anyway :(

All sold out :(

But you said you wanted to use one as a media centre... Can't you mod a HD-DVD drive into THAT one? And I'm sure a firmware update will work on the HD-DVD drive to get it to play games.

Hmmm.... now there's an idea...

Still... there's no local supplier. That means i'll have to import the drive myself, and i don't wanna spend my moneys on a HD-DVD drive when HD-DVDs aren't even here yet...

It's all in the ideas! :D

Sucks that we don't have a local supplier OR even HD-DVD's here in SA...

So ya, it's a gamble. But I think it will be cool.

Maybe I should kill my console, swop it out, and ask for it back and use it for some XBOX changing. :P :P

well ofcourse it's a PC board... You want it to work with rocks and levers? It's known technology just minimized and squeezed into a crappy built console.

how much did it cost you to buy the consoles and fix them?
