I know there are a lot of Xbox junkies on the board, so I figured I would throw this question out - How much would you pay for a fully modified Xbox with around 25 Xbox games, all the emulators (MAMEoX, NES, SNES, Atari 2600, Colecovision, Sega Genesis, Intellivision) - and every ROM available for each?

I'm asking for two reasons... ONE: Because I modded my own Xbox with an Xecuter 2.3 chip, 120gb hard drive, etc.. And I'm possibly looking to get rid of it. I get involved in these little distraction projects because it's actually more fun figuring out how to do the mod, and getting it working than it usually is playing the finished product

Don't get me wrong, playing all the emulators alone is worth the price of the hardware... but it's a new month, and a new distraction project is looming (modifying a TiVo)

And second reason... since my friends saw the modded Xbox, I have at least 4 or 5 guys now that want me to "hook them up". It's not that I won't hook a friend up, but it's not like you just unpack the machine out of the box, throw in a CD and the system is fully functional. Doing a full mod takes quite a few hours to get from stock retail Xbox, to full modified Xbox with all programs/games/emulators/roms, new hard drive, and mod chip installed.

The cost of the hardware alone is around $330 (new Xbox- $179, mod chip- $40, 120gb 7200rpm 8mb cache drive- $110). I see some places like system-mods that sell 120gb pre-modded Xboxes for like $430, but this of course is just the hardware (they won't even think of pre-installing software for you). Getting all that software installed is the real bitch, and takes hours upon hours.

So not to get too long-winded here... any experienced modded Xbox guys, chirp in with what you think a system like this would be worth. I don't want to overcharge my buddies, but I also don't want to give them 20hrs of my time for free either

Thanks in advance!

PS - If anyone's interested in my Xbox system that I mentioned above, drop me a line. ICQ is in sig, or hit me up at [email protected]
