2. Check out the Modchipstore's selection of pre-modified core and premium consoles with the Globe 360 modchips already installed. This saves soldering. These chips allow you to boot up all CDs or DVDs and more.
3. Go directly to 360Mods and read Chad's textbook on "Hacking the Xbox 360 for Noobs." It tells you everything from the cost, download the firmware, flash your drive and everything.
4. Explore the selection of cheap modchips at the Cheap Mod Chips website. As the site states: "Our main goal is to provide a quick and easy way of getting your gaming console modified."
5. Visit the Llama website and learn the whys and hows of modchips and modifying your Xbox 360. The "XBOX 360 Motherboard Headers and Connector" spells out everything step-by-step.

Carefully heat shrink the solder joints and wrap like voltage wires with like voltage wires.
7. Swap out your case to custom case like those at Modchip Store. Remove the face plate (there's a finger hole to help in this process), undo the clips in an alternating fashion at the vent hole using the provided tool, flip the Xbox 360 upside down and remove the screws. Gently lift off the case. Unscrew the six circled screw beneath the case, and swap it out.
