I am in the market for a RGH 360 and in my searches, I came across somebody selling what they claim to be a 'Jasper' phat console with RGH 1.2. I almost bought it because the price was good, but before I did I looked at the photos a little more carefully. First what caught my eye was that the "Jasper" console was in a Zephyr case. The power rating on the back of the case stating 16.5A which uses the 203 Watt PSU (16.5 A). Then I looked at the heat sink and realized it's wrong for the Jasper, and the southbridge chip is also wrong, but the pin out to connect the external PSU is a Jaspers'. I asked the seller what's going on is he selling a Zephyr motherboard with a different power connector soldered on, and in a Zephyr case, but stating the build incorrectly? I was met with the seller stating that in fact the motherboard is a Jasper, and that he, "use to fix xbox's back in the day, this info is not new to me! the first pic you're seeing is a pic of the rgh chip installed, (stock pic) for me. I know what i'm selling! i'm not misleading anyone! you know how dumb this sounds, i have a "Zephyr motherboard" but have a "jasper (PSU)" Explain to me how can a "Zephyr motherboard" have a "jasper (PSU)".
I have a Zephyr and even opened it up to confirm the identical Southbridge chip and heatsink. I also have a Jasper, but didn't want to open it up to confirm the differences that I'm witnessing, but looking at pictures online all show Jasper's having a different Southbridge chip in the top left of the console and a different heatsink for sure. Am I crazy here, or is this someone's frankensteinbox 360?
...Here are the pictures
