Mod Description
This Mod was created after i had the dreaded RROD error on my XBox 360 console (a common design fault on these consoles caused by overheating), this was the second console that had given me this problem so was a little frustrated. Normally you can apply a RROD Fix to these consoles to get them running again but unfortunately this didnt work for more than a day on this one so i wanted to look at a different solution.

Although the idea for this Mod was mine i must say that it was not performed by myself, 2 of my friends built it for me, my friend Craig did the actual building of the console into the case, fitting the dvd-drives etc. and my friend Danny did all the soldering for the power switches, usb ports, etc.

The Mod was designed to provide the following:

- Plenty of airflow to reduce the chance of overheating
- Add a fan to the CPU heatsink
- Install an Internal HD-DVD Drive
- Remove the requirement for the HD-DVDs power adaptor
- Use the PC case's built in USB ports
