You might want to add your location to find someone local... it'll make it a lot easier.

Also, it's REALLY REALLLLLLY easy to softmod an xbox or install a solderless chip.  If you have a half hour and can use a screwdriver, you can install a solderless chip.  I understand some people just dont' want to do things like that.. which is fine... but it is really easy.  And swapping in a hard drive is just like in a PC.  Pull out old drive.. put in new.

Good luck.

Xenium Spice solderless chip is decent & easy to fit.  Just did mine...

Just watch out as XenuimOS doesn't work with an RGB (eg Scart) cable so use the standard crappy cable whilst setting up.  Once a dashboard is on there all works as normal.
