I have three working Xbox 360 consoles in my possession. I want to mod two of them, but I don't know which ones to mod.
My consoles, as follows -
1) Xenon w/ BenQ? (yellow wires), hasn't been Xclamp fixed, doesn't RROD, has the extended GPU cooler.
2) Zephyr w/ BenQ? (white wires), RROD fixed with Xclamp replacement, sure I will have to heat gun at some point, has the extended GPU cooler (since it's a Xephyr)
3) Xenon w/ Hitachi-LG? (blocked with black plastic), no RROD or Xclamp replacement, but did have to pot-tweak the drive so I am sure the laser will need replacing at some point, has the extended GPU cooler.
As far as identifying the drives, I was following this: http://www.360drives.com/howto
The two that I listed as a BenQ have the metal casing that the 3rd one does, they're the ones that say "Philips & Lite-On" on them. But console 1 has yellow wires, and console 2 has white wires. So... console 3 has the Hitachi-LG case with the wire-hole blocked with black plastic, so I am pretty sure that is what it is. But insight onto the other two?
The Zephyr I would like to RGH, which should be possible since it isn't on the newest Dashboard (it IS on the Metro one, but not the most recent version that fixed(?) RGH). The other two, I would like to drive flash one and leave the other stock. Which would be easier to flash, the BenQ (if that's what it is) or the Hitachi-LG?
Second, I don't have the money for an RGH kit yet, so I am gonna hold off on that for now, but I WOULD like to drive flash one soon. What tools would I need to do it depending on what drive I flash? I had been looking at the CK3i, but I am not clear on if that also acts as a drive PSU or if I still need the X360USB.
And another question - I want the RGH console for myself, and am gonna give the drive flashed one to my little brother. He currently also has a Xenon w/ a BenQ (iirc, at least) which I am not going to touch. I obviously don't need 3 Xboxes. So I figured we'd each keep a stock one, then I would have an RGH one and he could have a flashed one, that if I wanted to play a burned game on Live I would use that. I know RGH consoles can't ever connect to live, and that flashed ones can. On a flashed one though, as long as you're running unmodified games (burned), is one likely to get profile banned? I'm not super worried if it gets console banned (though I would rather it doesn't), but I don't want to put him on Live with it if there is a high risk of getting profile banned.
Thanks in advance for the help, and sorry I have so many questions XD
