WOW

What an awesome games room I'm very jealous...well done.
Now when my wife complains about the machines in the front lounge I can just show her this and tell her shes got nothing to complain about.

Cheers......Tim

Daniel, if you are having problems with the DVD drive, u can try modding the xbox & then installing a larger hdd. You can then dump you discs to the hdd & play them straight off the hdd.

Ben showed me a link to this modding thing.  Looks interesting is it hard to do?

There is 2 methods that u can do, a softmod or install a modchip, I have installed a lot of modchips which is easy if u can solder and this is the easiest method to do if you want to change your hdd as well. I haven't had much experience with softmodding but it is also a bit more difficult if you want to change your hdd, others might know more about softmodding.

I also have a disk which will configure your new hdd if you decide to install a modchip. Let me know if you need a copy of the disk
If you have any questions or want to know more just ask

Cheers
Dean

I saw this in person the other day when picking up the legs Daniel generously gave me for Spirit - unbelievable pickup for $50!!
