I've done over dozens of UDE softmods, charging $20 a piece for friends. However Ill do one for free in exchange for a green. Depending on where you live we will prolly have to talk about shipping. If you don't know what a UDE softmod is, basically it allows you to use a program (phoenix bios loader) to load a bios image off your hard drive. Basically doing the same thing as a modchip, except loading from the xbox harddrive instead of the chip.
I also will install a modchip on your xbox for free (even on the latest and harder to mod 1.6 xboxes). The install is free with the completed offer, but either supply a modchip, or it will cost extra for me to buy one.
With either of these methods you will be able to play games that you burn (hopefully backups of games you already have). I will also include software that lets you backup games onto your harddrive. XMC (xbox media center) which allows your xbox to play divx, xvid, mp3s, and tons more. DVDxdongle, letting you play dvds without the remote (isn't that worth like $30 right there?), Xsnes, n64, ps1, Genesis, so on, so you can play all your favorite Roms. Basically as much of the homebrew out there that you want.
The xbox comes with a stock 8 or 10 GB hard drive. 5-7 of this is accessible for user storage. I can also upgrade the harddrive to whatever you want. (same, you supply, or I can buy one deal)
Your xbox will still work with xbox live, you just have to either boot with a legit game in the drive (for the UDE soft mod) or for the modchip just turn it off. If you already signed on to live with your stock harddrive, and you want to upgrade you need to buy another $10 eeprom (I'd prolly buy from

I live in st. louis (for shipping) and my aim is Jftaaffe We can also makes deals if you can have multiple offers completed. For instance, I'd install a modchip that I supplied (X2.6's are generally my favorite, work with everything) and ship your xbox back to you at my cost, if you can get 4 completed offers.
Thanks for looking!
