Build-to-Order: Modded Original Xbox

(3 customer reviews)

$121.87

Each Xbox is deep cleaned and fully refurbished. Faulty parts are replaced, the clock capacitor is removed to prevent leaks, and fresh thermal paste is applied to keep the system running cool and stable. As preventative maintenance, the five capacitors near the CPU and GPU are also replaced to improve long term reliability.

Hardware Upgrades:

  • Modchip Install – Comes with a Cerbios-flashed Aladdin for advanced features and better performance.
  • 80-pin ribbon cable + IDE-to-SATA adapter – Required for storage upgrade.
  • Internal Storage Options – Pick an HDD or SSD preloaded with your favorite dashboard and ready for Xbox Live (via Insignia) for online play.

Optional Installation:

  • Optional 128MB RAM – Boosts compatibility and performance for homebrew and emulation.

Custom Aesthetics:

  • LED mods – Illuminate the controller ports and swap the Power light.
  • Xbox jewel swap – Change up the color to match your vibe.
  • Optional Clear Acrylic Window Mod – Highlight your internal mods with a sleek, transparent window cut into the shell.
  • Custom-painted shell – Pick a color scheme that stands out. Click here for details.

Region-Free Gaming, Easy Management & Digital-Ready Convenience:

  • Region-Free & Easy Management: Your Xbox will be region-free, so you can play games from any region – disc or digital. Plus, you can easily rip games to the hard drive or transfer files via FTP.
  • Go Digital (Optional): Want to ditch the disc drive? Go for an all-digital build to save some cash and make your setup even cleaner.
  • Ready to Play: Comes with power and A/V cables – just plug it in and you’re good to go.

For builds that include internal or external storage, the system comes preconfigured with content and software so it’s ready to use right out of the box. Once received, you’re free to add, remove, or customize content as you see fit. Due to the nature of these builds, I do not provide lists of installed content.
