Hi there folks. I'm an xbox modder in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area. I do complete internal and external modification... what does that mean?
well, for the internal part, there's the modchip. What does a modchip do? Basically it allows you to run unsigned code, this boils down to homebrew applications, DVD burns, and such. It will also allow you to play Import video and game DVDs by removing the region coding.
What kinda apps are available?
The most widely used app is called xbox media player. This is a media player for the xbox that will play almost every video/music/picture encode you can think of. It handles avi, mpg, xvid, mp3, mov, wav, jpg, gif, just to name a few. It displays the movie/music directly to your TV... no more watching AVIs on ur computer screen or having to use a TV out card, just transfer them to the xbox HDD and play them from the xbox (you can also stream movies and music to the xbox from your computer using a program called ReLaX)
Emulators are available too... for almost anything. There is a strong emulation scene on the xbox and emulators have been created for everything from atari 2600 and sega SC3000 to Playstation 1 and N64. The only main systems that haven't been emulated so far are dreamcast and playstation 2.
As for external modifications, I do lots of paint jobs and LED mods. My price list is as follows:
Modchip install: $30 -- You supply the chip (Or I can order it for you for extra $$)
This includes a HDD upgrade with any HDD you supply. The HDD will be installed with many popular applications and emulators. A list of current apps on the list is available by request and I can add anything you don't see on the list that you would want.
I'm a firm believer that even with 7200 RPM drives the operating temperatures of the xbox are safe. If you would like me to install a fan for cooling purposes I can do that too.
80mm Fan upgrade: $3 you supply the fan, or I can order it for you
fans will be ordered from
www.xoxide.com here is a list of the fans that they have available:

Chip installs can be done either in the comfort of your own home or mine. I am willing to travel to most destinations in the Dallas area and inbetween Denton and Dallas. Gas charges do apply if I am traveling to your house, but it usually isn't any more than 10-15 dollars. All I charge for gas is the going rate for a gallon multiplied by how many gallons my truck used to get there and back (my truck gets about 15 mpg).
I will also accept mail in xboxs, I have done 2 or 3 xboxs in this manner and all have worked out well.
If your xbox is broken from a bad install, let me know. There's a possibility I can fix it, and if I can't, I can give you some money for a new one, or credit towards a pre-mod. Contact me and we'll work something out.
more pictures will come of the other xboxs I've painted.
BTW, if you want references send me an email at
[email protected] and I'll send you emails of references you can talk with.
