FS: Xbox with XBMC, Remote, 120GB hdd mod, two controllers

As discussed in a few threads on here – I am selling the most cost effective Media Centre which also is one of the best.  This Xbox was much loved however I just built a proper HTPC with all the trimmings.

This Xbox has been setup specifically to stream movies from your PC and output them in HD with LCD and Plasma screens in mind.  Also plays every video format under the sun from burnt data DVD.

The Xbox comes with the following:

• 120GB hard drive mod.  Loads of games which of course will be removed on request.  Includes best game ever:  Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball with Nude Hack

• Latest XBMC (t3ch 11.02.08) and emulators (N64, SNES, NES, Megadrive, Arcade CPS2 Neo Geo etc) - XBMC is set to be the GUI
• Component cables for HD output to LCD / Plasma etc
• Composite cable (if you don't have HDTV)
• Executor mod chip
• Microsoft IR Remote
• Two controllers.  One Microsoft and one Logitech
• Power cable

I will set this Xbox to 480p so that it will work on all TV's however I can show you how to change the settings to output to 720p and / or 1080i.  Running component cables is half the story - to truly get the most out of them you need certain software to trick the Australian Xbox in to outputting / upscaling at 720p/1080i!

PM me for my mobile number.  Pickup is from Torrensville 5031.

Price for sell $250

ASFAIK it WILL NOT play HD resolution video, divx, etc. the Xbox isn't powerful enough for that....trust me my XBMC would always just freeze up/jerkily play any HD avi's.

As for any other normal DVD rips and anything else under the sun nothing comes close to this beast so snap it up interested parties!

Not interested in this per se but if someone could tell me how to make my current Xbox (has a hard drive) do this that would be great. Feel free to PM or maybe start a thread if you can help me out. Cheers.

Well, short of chipping it, which is the best way, there's a softmod you can do...the problem is you can only use one or two games in particular to so...one being 007: Agent Under Fire. Finding that title is the hard part.

you can also check http://xbmc.org/ for the online manual, faq and wiki on how to set it up.

To clarify; the Xbox CPU isn’t powerful enough to play true HD files.  Correct.  However it is powerful enough to upscale your normal 350mb or 700mb ‘HR’ avi file of Lost et al to 1080i beautifully (using Enigmah video switcher and component cables).  Look in to it - the result is surprisingly good!   

A native HD avi file of Lost would be around 1000mb – this is where the Xbox dies and where people who knowingly download these rips wouldn’t use an Xbox to do their viewing.

Has it been modded already?  If its a larger a hard drive than normal 8GB it means it has been.  If it hasn’t been modded take it to this guy in Prospectwww.xpunked.com.  If it is modded then looks up some guides on the net to FTP in to your xbox.  Once FTP is active you can then copy over all the latest software files you have taken from the net.

haha Sorry to hijack your thread.

Yeah it's already been modded. Got the Xecutioner dash or something like that. Only has a 40 gig HD though so I'm considering upgrading that. Not a bad buy for 80 dollars though. I just need to get the flashy telly and sound system now.

Sounds like a good pick up Natho.  If you can't get your head around the guides on the net I might be able to help you out for some beers next week. 

id definitely recommend picking this up. i love my xbox, not just cos of the games but because if xbmc. i didnt bother with burning cd/dvs as i could load up the 120gb hd with a stack of movies and episodes via ftp and control it all from the xbox without having to get up to change discs, etc...

Yep. Mine's hooked up to the net too so it downloads thumbnails and descriptions/reviews for all your ripped movies and TV episodes, quality business to browse through movies with especially when you have not very computer savvy people looking through your collection for a flick and they are easily confused by long lists of filenames...
