The Next Level of X-Box Modding

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-wait-a-minute dept.

nikitin2k writes "A swedish guy did a really sweet xbox mod. He moved the whole thing into an aluminium chassis, changed the dvd and hdd, installed a mod-chip, wireless lan, leds, switches and Linux. Meet the xXx-box. The site is in swedish, but the pics speak for themselves. Lots of pictures here." I gotta ask tho, at what point would it have made more sense just to buy a regular computer? The green lighting is a nice touch tho.

    Bullshit. I have an Xbox, and I've got more games for it than for my PS2 and Gamecube put together. Sure, there's one or two crap titles, but I've got crap games for the PS2 as well (The Bouncer - WTF was I thinking?)

    On top of that, Xbox Live is a lot of fun. Load up MechAssault, Ghost Recon, or Unreal Championship and blast away with full voice support, so you can talk trash while you're lighting people up.

    And, there's Splinter Cell, which isn't even out for the other two consoles yet.

    In short, don't dismiss the Xbox just because you think people don't play games on theirs. I don't even have a modchip in mine, let alone Linux, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

    Its like Kennedy said, we do it not becauase we can or should, we do it because its there.

    At least get the damn thing right. He never said because it was there. He didn't imply man climbed mountains because they were there. He did say

    We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

    Man, a simple google search would have made you look insightful instead of clueless.

    Thanks to comment http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=55018&cid=5378 313 I've set up a mirror of his/her mirror at http://www.fibrespeed.net/~mbabcock/mirrors/www.to mmarsh.net/xmod/

    It is still downloading from the original site, so some pictures may not come up when you initially visit.

    Good luck. I'll be throttling it in case it gets Slashdotted too badly. And yes, the server penalizes rapid reconnections.

    Has anyone stuck a PC in a Mac G3 B&W tower case?

    Yes. Or was that a rhetorical question?
