Well I've done a few modchip installs, hope I can help someone out.

[normsbro]

I've done a few of the easier methods of xbox mod's. 1) version 1.5 or lower xbox's. 2) purchaced xecuter 2.3 - 2.6 solderles modchips and a mod chip programmer, software, bios, and install instructions can be found at the xecuter web site, or here at mili's download centre I think?. 3) found and downloaded slayers auto installer 2.5 or 2.6 and burn't a iso to a dvd-r disc, plus read the read me's for slayer's, and away I went......So ask your questions, I hope I can give you a hand...

If you want to use linux then you can choose an mod style you wish. Here is a link to the xbox-scene.com forums where you can find some great info about linux:

Check out the pinned topics and go from there. As for buying an xbox, the older the better. 1.0-1.5 you can flash the onboard TSOP. I think 1.0 and 1.1 you can have dual bios onboard. 1.6 and 1.6b you will need a modchip. Here is the thread on identifying your xbox version, whatever you buy:

And finally here is the FAQ forum link (lots of good reading!):

I just switched from Evox to Avalaunch last night. I like the clean interface, but mostly i like Qwix. This little proggy sure makes game management a snap. You can even create an iso right off the xbox hd accross the network.

I'm probably behind the times. Anybody have a better dashboard they suggest?

Also want to use linux part time on the box, but the controller is a pain in the butt.. What is the best setup for a keyboard and mouse for these boxes?

Slick.

yeah get a xbox to usb adapter and then a usb hub and use usb mouse and keyboard.

[mdfirefighter]

Yeah, the USB to xbox cables are nice. You can make one yourself, but if you not into that you can always buy one. I use XBMC myself, I love the interface and the scripts are awesome. I just installed a caller id script so when I watching a movie on the box the caller id pops up on the TV.
