Hey all.
I have a brand new Halo 2 Xbox that I am going to trick out in a few days and want to see if anyone has interest in a high-end mod.
This if anyone doesn't know, is the blue Xbox that was released in Canada only to honor halo2. They are 1.4 motherboards even though they were just released to the public.
The machine is going to be modded with an X3 mod chip and fitted with the X3 Contorl Panel (in blue of course). I purchased the panel from www.extreme-mods.com and it's gorgeous!! I am putting a 10 LED ring under the original jewel and these LEDS are facing outward giving the a nice glow to the blue case top.
The ports are going to be modded iwth blue LEDs as is the eject board.
I am also putting blue LEDs under the HD and DVD drive facing outward so the entire vents on the left and right are glowing blue. These LEDS are 5mm and very bright and are inside a small holder that angles them just right to disperse the light evenly. It will give an effect that the entire side is lit up.
The machine is indeed brand new and is unopened at this time. This is the thrid one of these I have purchased and they are beautiful. It comes with Halo2 game, a blue matching controller, and of course the cabling to connect for power and video/audio signal.
The machines were supposed to retail for $259.00 dollars but ended up getting raised to $299.00 at the last minue by all the retailers because demand was so high and supply was extremely limited.
You can do the math and see what this is worth retail wise, so any offers that are reasonable will be seriously considered. This machine is obviously not for everyone as it is a major investment. But for someone looking for something unique, this is going to be a great machine.
Oh yeah, it will also have any size HD you want. Just let me know and include your price to include the HD otherwise the stock HD will be kept in machine and configured. It will be hard to let this puppy go once I am done I am sure, but this machine deserves to be shown and played and it will just sit in my shop/house and collect dust.
I purchased this Xbox with all intention on tricking out like this.
I also got my hands on another green halo 1 limited edition Xbox. If anyone wants this one, I can do the same thing. I can do it with or without the CP or even use different chip. The blue one though is definitely going to have the CP.

I have emailed in you regard to that and never heard a thing from you so assumed the skin arrived.
I can only send USPS that I know of bud.. I'm not a fan of theirs either.
My packages that I sent to an APO (the soldiers were staitioned in Germany) took almost 2 months to the day! The kicker is, both packages went to the exact same address, were sent the exact same day, only were to different names.
One person got his package actually 10 or so days before the other. Now go figure that one out! If you dont mind, could you give me a valid email address (I insure all overseas packages regardless of value) and since it's longer than 30 days I can file a claim with USPS on your skin and the sammy lid even though the sammy lid has no value, my skin does. I originally thought that I didn't insure your package since it wasn't a purchase but I found the customs slip/receipt and it's indeed insured. I guess old habits die hard
They will just have you verify that you indeed did not get the package and then process the claim. In the interim, I will send another skin. I am also positlve I have three samsung lids if you still need the lid. I don't mind as I know I will be reimbursed for the first packages so I'm not losing anything.
As far as the Xbox goes, I would not feel comfortable sending something with that value out of the US...unless I can find a better shippiing agent with actual tracking and not just delivery confirmation. I also stopped sending to APO's altogether. Just too much bullshit involved.
I now ship to their families in the states and let the families deal with the packages being shipped to APO addresses. I despise the USPS. It's literally a joke. Sorry postal workers...it's not you...it's the system. It sucks. If UPS and FEDEX can have detailed fucking tracking...why can't you. You are the F'ing government for crying out loud!!!!!
If you know of a shipping agent that you trust and I can insure the Xbox I'd be interested in taking your offer..otherwise if I were you I wouldn't even think about it. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

The beast is about complete!
I went with a 300GB HD, but can go smaller if the funds are needing to be lowered.
To run down the hardware one more time,
Limited Edition Halo Xbox - Brand New - Never gamed on, Never on Xbox Live. Only powered up for testing when seal was broken. This is the blue Halo 2 Xbox that was only sold in Canada. Even more rare than the Green Halo LE
300GB HD
X3 CE Mod chip
X3 Control Panel with LCD Screen, Pro-Switch, and built in HD activity and LAN lights. Also built in is 2 USB Ports.
Blue LEDs at the ports
Blue LEDs at the eject button
Blue Laser LEDS glowing both left and right vents, very nice effect.
10 LED Ring, blue in color using 9000mcd LEDS. All LEDs are facing outward instead of inward so the entire upper case glows.
Original Blue Controller and cabling included.
Original Box Included
2 Month Trial Xbox Live card included.
I will also include a deluxe Halo Xbox Live Communicator Head Set (value almost $50.00)
The machine alone sold for 300.00, of course we all know the cost of the CP, chip, HD.
I envy the cat getting this machine, but my pocketbook dictates what I get to sell and what I get to keep
So, this machine has to be moved. I figured if I am going to movie it, it's going to be a doozie of a deal!

I really wanted somoene from here to have it!! I ended up getting an extra $200 from what I was about to charge anyone from this site... But, I really could use the cash so I guess I'm lucky in that aspect.
The pics didn't come out as nice as I would have hoped, but it is nice none-the-less.
later all! If anyone wants the green one it's still available _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter
