Guys I think it’s time to mod my Xbox because it broke many discs and I wanna do backups. I’m a noob at mods.
I searched the internet but I can’t find anything other than a 300-page e-book called “Modding for Dummies” or something like that. What I need is a simple guide (for dummies) that covers this issue fully, and is about the iXtreme 1.5. If someone can explain this thing to me simply and fully I’ll be grateful.
Here
1 Take apart xbox and computer
2 Connect sata from Xbox disk drive to computer sata port
3 Download and burn slax iso to a blank dvd
4 unplug all but one dvd/cd drive (leave in xbox and the drive for slax)
*Turn on xbox first to power drive
5 Put slax in the pc drive and restart and boot from it
6 it should scroll text for a while (open and close the xbox drive while this happens) Once done it should the eject presses to open and 3 to close.
7Then restart computer but leave xbox running the drive should be recognized.
8 take the ixtreme (use 1.4) and run flashix
*if you have a hitachi 79 there are a few more steps, google it for more info
Hi, I’m gonna try and do a custom case mod by myself, but only have some idea of how to do it!! First of all, what kind of tools and materials would I need? What size/kind of glass? What kind/size lights? Should I get a better fan? What kind of tools to cut out the design? If anyone can answer these questions please do or any link that has a good tutorial would be much appreciated. Thanks for all your help, Josh.
I have searched on youtube for a good tutorial that would show me how to cut open the case but couldn’t find one.
Well Josh i’ll try to help you the best i can.
To cut the actual case i usually use a dremel with a cutting wheel, i round the corners with a sanding barrel and then i sand all edges with 600 grit sandpaper. I use 1mm thick plexi, cut it with the dremel cutting wheel and then break off the edges with my fingers. For the inside of the case you need to get everything out of the way, all the little plastic reinforced runners should be cut out and sanded.
I use plastic epoxy to fix the plexi to the case (hot glue just doesn’t do it). After i mix my epoxy and spread the expoxy i line up the window and make sure the edges are making contact. I then put something heavy (like my $800 burned up turbo….paperweight now) on the plexi so it has a little bit of pressure holding the plexi flat against the xbox surface.
There’s a picture on how i ran the lighting for my friends xbox. Usually i make my own custom led array with 3mm leds and a sickmods led board. This time i was just lazy and used an aurora light kit.
You can see to keep the wires neat and organized i used hot glue. You want to be careful using hotglue because it can actually melt the soldered connections on the led boards.

You want to find a nice 5v spot on the motherboard, i usually tap the bipolar transistor up near the front corner by the dvd drive. You need to of course calculate the resistor you need for your led array. If this is too far over your head you can just buy a prewired kit like the talismoon aurora i showed you earlier.
For the ring of light and the controller leds you need size 0603 smd leds.
You can get them here – http://www.unique-leds.com/index.php?target=categories&category_id=189
You want your voltage to be inbetween 2.6v-3.4v if you are going for a blue or purple get the brighter leds.
