So I was sitting here contemplating on whether or not I wanted to buy this black 360 console case. It's black, and looks pretty much like the Elite.

I been pondering on this for a while on whether or not to get it, the only thing really keeping me from doing it is the whole RROD thing.

Is there a way that you could (I use the term "you" but I mean anyone besides Microsoft) fix the RROD yourself? I heard the term "Penny Fixing" but how long does that last?

If it wasn't for the fact of the RROD I would have already purchased it, recieved it, and put it all together. I have this really awesome idea for it all, but like I said, the whole RROD is putting me off a little bit since you can't send it to microsoft to get it fixed.

So once more, are you able to fix the RROD yourself? Or just have to buy a new console if you modify it and get the RROD?

Thanks!

I'm not sure Kidd, but what I'm gonna do is buy a couple broken ones off of Ebay and go mad scientist on them! I've been dying to take one apart, but I don't want to void my warranty! When I do this I will let you know my results!

I can't promise anything since I have never gotten to actually see the inside of an xbox yet, But I am gifted with this sort of thing! that's why I think a 40-50 dollar investment will be completely worthwhile!

Radios, tvs, and sh*t like that! I've never really tried anything as complex as a game console, but it's all in the name of science right?! I'm a process technician so troubleshooting is my middle name! lol
