Message: [QUOTE="The_Real_Thing, post: 117907, member: 3978"] If you like tinkering, 360 is pretty fun, and that's besides the games. Early fat 360's were trouble, but the fat Jasper variant was and is solid (still have mine). I've been running it as a bare mobo on my desk to do testing (not games) and without the air guide shroud it gets to maybe 65C. Fully assembled it never gave RROD. My old Xenon did though! But yeah, if, for instance, you see an eBay listing and the power plug opening has a certain pattern, you can tell if it's a Jasper. Modding them is fun AND affordable, like more than ever. Besides obvious pre-reqs like soldering stuff and patience, the glitch chip and a Raspberry Pi PICO is like 7 bucks at Aliexpress. My glitcher is an ACE v3, with the genuine-looking brown PCB and authenticity code scratch-off on back and everything. So for less than 10 bucks you're SET for doing a fat RGH 1.2. A slim doesn't even require a glitch chip (RGH 3). Lastly, you can get a *working* 360 for a song on eBay. Grab one that 'doesn't read/eject discs' for SUPER cheap if you know that reading discs is semi-obsolete. RGH it, and slap a 2tb drive on it, or up to 16tb drive if you patch the NAND to enable it. DO IT. [/QUOTE]
