Hey guys! Long time, no log on. I scored myself an XBox last week on freecycle. I'm so excited about it because it's my first "good" console. I want to get online with XLink Kai. Halo 2 anyone? I'll gladly host. Got better internet, running at 3 mbps. Dunno about the upload though. Let me know! It feels good to be back!

If you have 3Mb AT&T then you have 160KB/s up. I have the same thing. I think you can host about 7 other people in your game not counting yourself.

I actually have Verizon. I assume it works the same though.

I have actually scored an original Xbox a few weeks ago. Modded it as soon as I got it using the "Hotswap" method. I also bought a 120 GB IDE drive for it off the classifieds and am REALLY loving it. The ability to save games to the hard drive and backup the family photos to it is great. XBMC is wonderful, though I really wish I could get the Youtube plugin working.
I wrote a little guide to the guides on doing the hotswap method here:

You can do this method without buying anything, assuming you own a Torx screwdriver.

I was actually starting to opt against it because I didn't want to buy anything for the hack and because I read that one can end up with a brick. Uh Uh

But you really got me thinking about this method. I might just go for it but I'll have to buy hat HD first. THANKS!
