Product Description:
The Xbox is an exciting and fun video game console - but that's only half the story. Inside the case, Microsoft placed a customized PC that you can push well past the limits of Halo and NBA Live. In The Black Art of the Xbox Mods, gamer, programmer and midnight hacker Jonathan Harbour show you how to crack the case, strip your Xbox down to the motherboard, and take control from the inside out.
When you're finished, you'll know how to install a mod chip, boot up in a new operating system, and run cool third-party software. You'll also learn how to trick out your Xbox with case mods, glowing lights and other features to let the world know your Xbox has come a long way since you brought it home from the superstore.
With hundreds of pictures and step-by-step instructions, The Black Art of the Xbox Mods isn't for the faint of heart. But, if you want a 300GB Xbox that plays CDs, DVDs, and glows like an alien spacecraft, then this is the book for you.

It's an outdated book, but gives you the idea of how to mod your xbox. It focuses on one particular chip that is no longer in production, but you can take the idea and adjust for others. Gives a lot of info on stuff to try and what he did. This is more of a how-to book on using mod chips.

This book describes how to do anything and everything you could ever want with an xbox.
It starts of very simple by describing how to open up the xbox and take out the parts. But by the end of the book you will have covered such things as;
-Installing Mod chips on all versions of xbox
-Choosing the right dashboard
-Learning the Xenium OS
-FTP your computer and xbox
-Flashing a bios and installing a dash board
-Customizing your own dashboard
-Replacing the case
-Installing hard drives over 137GB's
-Custom lighting
-Xbox Media Center
These are just a few of the many things that fascinated me about this book. A person who has never seen an xbox before could pick up this book and read it and have a completely pimped out xbox in a week.
It is FULL of very detailed explanations and it has tons of very useful photographs.
I would HIGHLY recommend this for ANY one who is going to open up their xbox.
