Nice to see there are still people modding Xbox360.. My Phat XBOX360 (the OG 2005 model with j-TAG mod that I did yeaaaaaarrrsss back because it also had the OG dashboard) had RROD couple of days back, so I bought an S today and already had a couple of picos laying around, so the RGH3 was peanuts. I now need an enclosure for the Phat HDD (500GB), for now I just removed it from the Phat case and put it in the Xbox360 S with some stickytape on the HDD lol. So didn't need to do the aurora and such. Instantly working this way. So didn't need your video but just wanted to give my "support" by commenting :D :P

rufus is good and all, but I have a even better sugestion! ventoy is an amazing little bootloader for your usb storage you can just put in any straight up iso on the device, as many as you can fit in and they won't interfere with each other, if you want, you can just put your iso and your important files if you want! the only exception is that windows no longer plays nice with ventoy at all, so you are stuck with rufus for that

Just a tip: About a year after finishing one of these builds, I discovered an overheating issue. It turns out the heatsink is poorly designed. If you flip it over, you'll notice there's only a small area of copper, which doesn't fully cover the CPU, leading to poor heat dissipation. To fix this, make sure to apply thermal compound evenly to the top of the CPU. I know this is unconventional, but it works for this console. I also used MX-6 thermal paste because it performs better at higher temperatures. Finally, increase the fan speed by 30-50% using the DashLaunch homebrew app. Hope this helps!

So I just wanna start off by saying that you clearly know what you're doing with electrical wiring but I'm just curious why you've chosen to do everything the hard way. Perhaps something to do with the budget of the machine but really like you can pick up a rotary Dremel cheaply so you can cut more precise holes in metal, there are much easier ways to get the lights wired to the computer internally as well that don't leave it hard lined if you ever want to disassemble this PC. Beyond that you've made many cool design choices. I very much appreciate the right angle graphics card. I also work with 775 machines a lot to build retro gaming towers. Nice to see more of us out here.

Its really sad to let them go after working so hard on them but its all part of it.
