not yet - later tonight I will. I want to map some of the mobo tracings first.

looks like MS is using a TSOP to hold the Dashboard software. I've posted specs for the hynix HY27US08281A on my blog.

I'm contemplating whether to remove the mobo from the shielding and attempt to remove the heatsinks & heatpump.....

I guess we do have alot of choice regarding beer here in Canada.
Sleeman is a semi-national (eastern) micro-brewery in Canada. They have several different brews available.

The beer in the pics is Sleeman's Honey Brown Lager. Not a bad taste - But I still prefer a nice stout like Guinness....

I will be posting pics of the LED mods I did to the controllers later.

Eek I hope not .. warm beer .. yack!

I'm just curious about the HDD as I've seen everything other than the HDD pulled to bits, must have some awkward clips or something.

OK. I broke down and opened the HD casing (and posted pics).
It is a Standard 2.5" SATA Hard Drive.

btw - the beer only comes as an option to the Xbox360.

Duh! what do you think the 2 fans are for ;D


Seriously though some great pics, its good to know that the "The case will be a pain to open" are somewhat exagerated.
