heh, I just watched that and had the URL in my clipboard so I could come over here and paste it in.  You beat me to it. 

I think I ended up with about 45 drives throughout the course of my modding days.  The old drive was usually my "payment" for doing the mod for other people.  I ended up giving most of them away on craigslist and I think they ended up in charity machines for computerless people.  45 just isn't quite the domino display that this guy had...

 yeah the xbox will be the first console in history to be extinct less then 10 years later due to the hard drive's dying and it being locked to the motherboard.

the only survivors of that fallout will be the modded one's.

sounds like the 360's will be taking the same coarse the way they break all the time on there own and like dummys they did not learn from this and now locked the dvd drive and mobo instead lol HELLo..

I wonder how much of that nice house was paid for by modding 1500 xboxs?

If he was able to average a $100 profit per box (hopeful, but possible), that would be $150,000!!  Not too shabby.

this was clearly a shameless way of bragging as to how large of a house this guy has.  ok, we get it, you have a big house on the water funded mostly by modifying xbox systems - to which god knows how much illegal activity has been carried on over the years
