the hardware mod isn't really that difficult to do if you just have patience. the nice thing about some of the older XBoxen is that their RAM can be upgraded to 128MB which would help out with Linux and Myth, but isn't necessary. and i don't really think you'll find that much difference in output (picture quality) between any of them as they are all pretty similar hardware. ------------------------------------ 6 GMail Invites available Email me OFF-list only...
