modchip help

Ok this is my first time messing with this modding stuff and Im looking for some answers to my questions if anyone could help it would be appreciated and I did do a search and couldnt find all the info I was seeking. Here is the questions if you can help thanks.

1. If I already own an xbox can I send it somewhere to get modded I have seen places that sell them premodded but are there places that will mod them if you send them in if so what are some reputable places where I can send it.

2. I've never flashed a bios before so what mod chip would be the best for me . Do they come with a bios on them if not is it hard to do? I would also like to play live once in awhile what chip has an external switch

Thanks for any help in advance

Quall999 is on a distinguished road
1. Not too sure on this one

2. The 3 main chips (that are the best) are the Xodus/Matrix, x-ecuter 2 lite, and x-ecuter 2 pro.

The Xodus/Matrix modchip needs to be flashed. It is a no-solder chip and is pretty good. Only problem is that it sometimes slips out of place.

The x-ecuter 2 lite chip is what I'd recommend. It is pre-flashed, and very easy to solder. You also have a choice to use pogo-pins to make it a no-solder chip, but may cost extra.

The x-ecuter 2 pro is just like the x-ecuter 2 lite, but is not pre-flash and can have multiple bios (more than the x-ecuter 2 lite).

All these chips are re-flashable, so you can upgrade with newer/better bios as they come out. They can all have an on/off switch (easy to make external without drilling up holes).

Yes you can send your XBox to Bill at freedomlives.com
He will install any modchip you want for $40 plus S&H.

Many people send their PS2s to him also to mod. He does good work. Every one I know who has send a game system to him has been very happy with him.

I suggest checking out the xbox-scene forum. They've got a board dedicated to finding people in your area that mod boxes.
That's how I got mine done.
