This is good if looks are not an issue this would work good, you just have to press the open switch on the 360 and the eject button of the DVD-rom at pretty much the same time. I used to run this setup back in the day to quiet the box up and it also used to load games heaps faster. Oh and btw I have one for sale in brisbane if anyones interested, it has an 80gb hd chameleon chip with xbmc, also has the logitech wireless controller. Edited June 11, 2008 by BloodyKev
larry42 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) thanks bwilson-pm sent kev-thanks for the idea, it's good to know about the y splitter but i think since the xbox is on display in the tv room the wife might grumble..... larry Edited June 12, 2008 by larry
