Thoughts of a modded Xbox in the car.

What do you guys think about incorporating a modded Xbox in a car audio system? This dude is trying to sell his Xbox with 25+ games already loaded on the 120 gig harddrive. I have an aux input on my HU, and I have a nice 7" Sony tft screen. So it would not be too difficult to do. Here is the ad, what do you think?

I am trying to sell my xbox for some cash for school.

This isn't your normal Xbox!

What the package entails:

-Xbox picked up dec 26 2003
-Original Box
-Original Type S Controller
-Original A/V kit and power cord
-Excuter 2 modchip installed buy a pro
-OEM hard drive replaced with a maxtor 120GB 7200 RPM 8mb/s
-Hard Drive activity LED
-Painted Vibrant Silver
-Clear xbox jewel on top of case
-Blue LED's installed in jewel
-Motherboard modded with 2 USB ports accessable on back of case

-1 Type S Blue Controller lighted with BLUE LED

-Advanced A/V Pack modded (outputs S-video, Coax A/V, Toslink, SPDIF audio)

-Many games installed on hard drive (i guess mabey 25+)(can list if needed)

-NES, SNES, N64, MAME emulators with a buttload of games

- A pack of 25 LED's to use anywhere you wish on the xbox. (really easy to do)

This is the total package. It will do anything. It can act as a desktop. You can surf the net. Upload and play MP3s, AVI's, MPEGs, and digital picture. Play games off the hard drive. Play DVD's, DVD-R's, and DVD-R+. Pretty sure it does DVD-RW. You can even install lunix and windows.

The only flaw is the paint isn't EXACTLLY perfect. It is barely noticable and can be repainted any way you want to.

I love my mod'd box...I I mean If I had a mod'd box I'd love it. You can do a lot with the XBox, afterall it is nothing more than a computer. I can...I mean I've been told, you can copy, make that back up, not only Xbox games, but old school SNES, NES, Arcade, Genisis, NeoGeo, etc, music and movies from DVD. A properly moded XBox will play DVD's w/o the special remote (although I still use mine because it is convenient).

I can't wait to get it. I went ahead and agreed to buy it. It should be here sometime next week. I paid him $350 for it, which I think is a pretty good deal.

Not bad, the XBox is $150, chip $50, HD $60-100 (not all drives will work), and all those games would cost alot of time or $$ to "acquire" not to mention the pain in the A$$ it is to obtain all the software for the Xbox
