The Next Level of X-Box Modding

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.

link redirection..

[ciupman]

This might be offtopic .. but wouldn't be an improvement to the slashcode if the links could be redirected (wrapped) to a system that could queue the requests (there could be a max limit depending on the remote server's capacity) to the actual link.. this way remote servers wouldn't "die" like this..

oh come on, now! where's the fun in that? a good portion of slashdot comments are new and witty ways to say that the site is gone! for example, i read the most hilarious comment earlier that said the modder was "obviously using M$" since the site was down! brilliant!
if slashcode were improved to eliminate this "slashdot effect", then we wouldn't be enriched with comments such as these anymore.

So stop reading?

Tho?

At first I thought, what is Taco doing? Using 'tho' for though? Just seemed like bad grammar (and no, I'm not a grammar nazi. Hell, i'm the reason they invented grammar and spell checks). Then I checked. Accoriding to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Ed., it's a variation on how to spell though. To me, tho just looks stupid.

The REAL xXx-box

Guys, we really know that THIS is the real XXX-box.

Or maybe THIS is the real one!
