Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how interested an imployer would be in the fact that you can take something and void the warranty so eloquently. ;)

The way I look at it:
360: $515
Parts: $130
Total: $645
Worth: $1000-1500
1000-645=355
1500-645=855
For my work, I can come ahead $355-855.
If I were charging,
$645+20(H)
H =ing work hours, at $20/hr for labor.
I have about 50 hrs in it.
$645+20(50)=$1645
$1000 profit
I saw math and I think my brain turned itself off ;)
Still though, hurry up on the LED's. If I had the money, I'd try and buy Drei Sechzig from you, it being quite bitchin' and all.
Mitt,
Man, quick question:::
I'm going crazy trying to aquire a Elite.
Where did you buy yours?
What was the price?
Thanks man! :)
Walmart, at 7% Pennsylvania sales tax, $515. Shelf prices are still $479.99. I don't have an exact record on the price because I paid cash.
Cool cool.
Then that's what I'm looking for.
I was just wondering if I was getting nailed on the price.
I'm going to look in-stores for them today...
Cause CompUSA.com ((:evil: WARNING)) has them for what you said... 480ish.
Question:::
You did the fan mods because... it ran really hot?
Did they help?
I mean, the coolness factor of your Elite went through the roof...
:D
Yet the temperatures... better?
Thanks Mitt!!!
I'll keep you updated... as I think I'm going to copy your inspiration to modify the 360. :)
That's the going rate.
The 360 Elites run cooler than the 360's, but after an hour it starts to glitch and skip frames. The 360s freeze faster when laying down then they do standing up, but nevertheless freezes.Quote:

After these mods and gaming the whole night on Live, my CPU temps never hit 40*C, and my GPU never hit 50*C. I consider that to be a pretty drastic enhancement over stock.Quote:

Let me know if you need help. :up:Quote:

If you want the high-def photos to my worklog, I have the whole folder; all 140 MB's of it.
just wondering but what does "Drei Sechzig" mean? Three-sixty? Cause thats what it sounds like.
Yay, that means i was right....
