Okay so I just bought an "ICE" or "Crystal" XBOX for $40 and I want to upgrade the HDD to a Western Digital Caviar 120GB and Install XBMC onto. I've been searching on the web for the best Softmods and Hardware mods but get really confused by all the links I have to follow and would like a fairly simple straight-forward guide to follow. Thanks
I can build PCs and I'm not a total noob when it comes to modding because I've modded my PSP, DS and 360 successfully.
Definitely the best, but let SPPV confirm that there hasnt been any updates to it yet.

I havent done any updates since the Failsafe V2 Upgrade Package, Ive been kinda sidelined after the tower died, but I am picking up a new one tonight so I do plan on putting out a new edition this weekend with UnleashX.40 and the newest XBMC build. But KennethK linked you to the right tut, all Pimped releases since Final follow that basic guideline and it wont steer you wrong. Best bet for a good quick download is the USA VIP Server, or else Megaupload.
Hope it goes good for ya, if you have any trouble just post back here and I'll guide you through.

Okay so I downloaded SID5 PIMPEDv0.2 and XBMC Update Pack I've been following the tutorial, but I can't find how to change the HDD, also I have no Idea how to backup my EEPROM (I'm not actually sure if I need to), and I don't have an INSTALL and BOOT folder in the SID5 PIMPEDv0.2 folder after I unpacked it. Sorry for all these issues.

V2 doesnt use a boot disc but it also cant install ROMS. You have to backup your EEPROM, go to Settings, Boot Softmod Menu, Backup/Restore, Backup EEPROM, after backup hit Move EEPROM to E. Now FTP into the XBOX and open the E drive Backup folder and copy the EEPROM.bin file to the the V2 EEPROM folder. Put XBMC in the F folder and follow the tut for the build.
