I know of a local guy that can chip the PS2, and I can do the painting, it wouldn't be cheap though. The chips for PS2 alone can run 65 - 75 dollars for the top of the line chip, the install is over 50 dollars because of the difficulty of it. Add to that paint/LED mods if you want them and shipping and you're looking at a VERY hefty price tag. But, it's well worth it in my opinion if you want a unique console that stands out from the rest.
for just a chip install it only takes me an hour or so depending upon the chip, I can conceivably have an xbox shipped back to you the same day I receive it. For painting it can take up to 4 days depending on the complexity of the paintjob. Paint takes a long time to dry if you want it done right. other things like LED mods and case mods are dependant on what is being done.
if u guys are looking for a good and reliable modder in the toronto/gta (canada) area, visit www.mad-mods.com (i just got mine done from there) their prices are very good and they also do xbox skins, free hd installs, all apps (evox xbmp etc) installed..i even went to local chinese places and they couldn't match the prices here
