  4. Re:Best modchip for this? on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 1

    I recommend any chip that runs evoxs bios. I think all the new ones do. I used XBIT since it is a soderless installation. If you have more time, there are new chips that have lcd displays (SmartX or xenium ). My first install took about 5 hours, but once O figured it all out I can install and mod a xbox in 15 minutes.

  7. Monoply on Wood on Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine · · Score: 1

    The sunken forests Mitchen retrieves include maple, birch, elm, oak and, several other hardwoods and softwoods. Because of the logs' preservation in fresh water, and the fact that many of the tree species he finds are now extinct, the market value of his lumber can be up to 10 times that of new wood. Mitchen's logs have been used for a variety of noteworthy projects, including:

    * Handmade guitars for Eric Clapton and blues musician Johnny Lang
    * Custom-made banjos for the Dixie Chicks
    * Interior woodwork for the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
