Just got an original XBOX and want to keep it?

Then there are some thing you can do, but first the ugly truth: THE CLOCK CAPASITORS DIES ON EVERY XBOX v1.0-1.5 AND KILLS YOUR XBOX IF YOU DONT REMOVE IT!, JUST A YSK! LINK: http://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php/XboxVersionTable Eurasia is superb on homebrew and information. Even sells xbox chips for 10usd if your out of luck and have a xbox 1.6.

It's simple to fix as always but fatal if ignored. It can be removed, and most times you won't even notice it's gone after removing it. Mostlikly it had already startet to fail, but hopefully you will get it in time. It's not dangerous if you use your head, I believe its very good for you and your xbox. But keep a vacuum cleaner at hand at all time the box is open ^{^} XBOX needs air more than we do! http://myoriginalxbox.weebly.com/capacitor-removal.html

New fan and thermal paste makes them last for ever I guess! Only way to be sure about version is to open the box, had a few that did not match dates. For PAL console its not a choice it must be hardmodded! Only with chip or TSOP will it give you games in 480p and 720p or 1080i in homebrew like emulators and XBMC. TSOP is also so much fun. And as always it's simple: Softmod------>solder a few point or use a conductive pen to make connection on a couple of points, can even be done with sewing neddle and a blow trouch but its not highly recomended------>flash the onboard bios chip called TSOP------>Free system! best hacking experience you get, and it does not cost a dime, just braincells ^{^}

Slotgamer on YouTube has a great video on TSOP and it covers a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIw8k5areQg

The next great thing I do and its a must! I add a coaxial RCA socket and solder just a few wires to enable surround and digital audio without the 50$ HDTV pack from M$ ^{^} it must have been cheaper new! It has Toslink optical output but i preffer cheap cables that can survive among apes so I only had a RCA socket that you can find anywhere. So then I can use cheap cables from China for 720p video signal and have surround and good sound for music and movies.

This diagram maps all outputs form the motherboard of the xbox and where to add outputs:
