I got this original XBox One for $50. It was looking pretty bad in the pictures so I figured it’d be a solid project. Getting the console apart is relatively tricky. This was the first Microsoft console I’ve disassembled and feel it’s less intuitive compared to other consoles. As you see, this console was as filthy as the others. Nothing really needed to be replaced fortunately. I’d say with a simple tool kit, you too could clean your’s.
The whole job difficulty: 5/10.
Seemed like music was a missing feature for these videos. At least that’s what I’ve heard. It slows down the editing process and can be distracting if not the right vibe which is why I was not including music originally. However, my friend makes some solid chill music and I think it works well here. Let me know if you feel differently.
