I have an Xbox that is surplus to requirements. It's chipped with the Executor 2 modchip and has Xbmc installed on it.

It also has an official Microsoft Component cable, controller and power cable.

The drive tray is a little flaky - it doesn't always eject, and it's not great at reading discs, but if you're looking to use it as amedia centre then that's not really an issue.

Any ideas as to it's value ?

I dont imagine it`ll be worth much, second hand working xboxes can be had for £20 (CEX) a soft mod is free and one step away from a TSOP flash, giving you every benefit of a mod chip. You`re probably better off selling the individual components bit by bit, Ill give you £15 for the MOBO & Chip if you¬re interested.

If you do split it as Chett suggested, I would give you a couple of quid for the dvd
