I Want a mod chip

[mtdew332]

Ok, i realize this has flamebait written all over it.

But the more i serach and read, the more confused i get.

So i'm asking my questions here anyway in the hopes of getting some solid advice.

I have an original v1.0 xbox

I wanna play movies and backups.

I have a home network with linksys router.

1) Whats the absolute BEST mod chip to get? Xecuter 2.2 Pro?
Or is the pro needless and a lite will suffice?

2) Wher can i purchase this in the US? (the sites ive found want ya to order 3 or more at a time!)

3) What hard drive to get for my xbox?

4) Anywhere i can order the hd and chip together?

So after i do my mods, i will be able to transfer "files" to my xbox from my pc and execute them...right?

No need for any help with install/flashing info , i've read MANY tuturials and that info is easy to find.

Its deciding on the best hardware to get thats holdin me up.

Don't wanna buy something and AS i'm using it, realize i bought the wrong chip!

PM's and flames welcome.. LOL
