In search of a new mod... suggestions?

$50 is ok, as long as he actually installs a chip, and has a disable switch for it.

Alot of installers will take advantage of the customers unknowledge, and do something called a "TSOP" flash. Which flashes your onboard bios of the xbox, and costs $0 other than the cost of solder, and the memcard if they don't have one. It renders xbox live completely useless on any xbox's newer than a v1.1, and 1.0/1.1's only work if the installer chooses to add a switch and do an extra 2 mins of work. Then they give you your xbox, but only after they steal your eeprom and sell it to someone who was banned from live for $10.

Installing a chip can take less then 15 minutes for me, and that includes opening the xbox. Heating the soldering iron is what kills time, about 10 mins for that alone, so 5 to do the rest.
