When I first thought about doing this I never expected it would come together...
None of this would have been possible without Ryzee119's work on the CPLD firmware!

Quick demonstration of adding bios from a USB device, dimming feature and full RGB front panel and controller ports.
NOTE: Due to poor lighting it is difficult to distinguish between some colors: "Green and Amber", "Cyan and White"...
About the XeniumICE
This is a full reproduction of the Original XeniumICE which has not been manufactured since 2006,
there have been many improvements made to the design whilst maintaining the original profile and layout.
The XeniumICE isn't just a simple mod-chip but has a dedicated operating system "XeniumOS v2.3.1"
which can be used to revive dead consoles with the use of eeprom and disk tool features.
Features Include:
- Install up to 4 different bioses at the same time.
- Quick-Solder and Pin Header Install Methods
- Dual SPI port for unlimited future add-ons.
- Compatible with all versions of original Xbox consoles.
- Full RGB Status/Bank LED
- Hardware protected Emergency Recovery System.
- Inbuilt Flash system via OS or Web Browser.
- Minimal stress is applied to the D0 line by only pulsing D0 at reset time, all other times the D0 is left free..
- Small compact design with no complicated forced extras for the unit to function.

Xenium Bundles
The below bundles include everything one would need for a complete installation,
A basic 30 to 40 watt soldering iron should be more than enough for the job.
The RGB controller ports require some cutting, I would really recommend a cheap
Dremel knock off from your local hardware store with a cutting wheel/blade...

Accessories
XeniumRGB
Is a set of modules for RGB lighting with the aim of an easy install, consisting of a RGB front panel and two RGB controller port modules.
The colors can be changed between Red, Green, Amber, Blue, Purple, Teal, White or completely turned off...
XeniumRGB also supports a dimming feature which can be controlled via XBMC or set to always bright with the attached switch.
The front panel also acts as a breakout board for the RGB controller ports modules and other future mods.
The RGB controller port modules are design to be directly soldered to the shielding after cutting away the rear section.
The overall design makes for a very clean installation...

XeniumUSB
Is a cable-less alternative to convert your Original Xbox controller port into a USB port.
This will enable you to use a mouse and keyboard with dashboards such as XBMC as well as
being able to flash the XeniumICE mod-chip directly from a FAT32 formatted pen-drive.
The adapter can also be used with a FATX formatted pen-drive for either soft-modding or TSOP flashing.
Please note you can not use an external hard drive like you can with modern Xbox consoles!
XeniumLPC
Are a pair of LPC rebuild modules, one for console versions 1.0 to 1.5 which is optional
and the larger of the two modules is for the v1.6 consoles which makes installation much easier.
