So here's the deal...I'm thinking about modding my old ass original Xbox into a computer/some sort of server. I know all about how to do it, and know the pros and cons of hard versus soft modding, and the restrictions each of them bring to the table.
After debating the differences, I think I would rather do the hardmod method, which requires actually opening the system up(which I have already done) and doing some soldering. Now that's where the problem comes in...I've done soldering, but it was in school when I was like 12. That was almost 11 years ago.
My question is, has anyone around here actually done either of the mods, and how hard are they really? From all that I have read, I don't foresee this being a problem at all, it sounds rather easy, but then again, anything can sound easy when the person explaining it knows all about it and knows what all components are.
So how hard is this really?
