I was just at Bob's house the other night where I watched him do some repair work to a severely damaged Xbox motherboard - very impressive work.  If you are in need of serious repair this is certainly the man to go to.  He also showed me some of his own custom modifications including the dual HD and selector kit.  Once again, very well thought out and implemented (the miniature fans used to create airflow and venting around the 2nd HD were so cool).  His level of technical expertise, communication, and thoroughness are exactly what the Scene needs.  

If you are looking for:
----Quality modchip installs and patient support
----Serious damage repair (well beyond what other 'hobbyist' installers are equipped to handle - Bob has been doing this professionally for 20 years and has full access to a lab and high end tools)
----Difficult hardware modifications or upgrades (extra RAM, dual HD in stock case, etc...)

Bob should be on your shortlist of people who truly know what they are doing in this business.

Thank you guys for the nice comments. And for bringing your Xbox repair and mod chip installs to me to have done.

Any one in need of a mod chip install, TSOP FLASH EEPROM Write enable Points bridged, ram upgrade, customized modifification of any kind, and/or damaged motherboard such as burnt or lifted solder pads, torn broken traces let me know I can in most cases repair any type of damage such as this. I have access to specialized tools and equipment and many years of experience with surface mount soldering and circuit board repair.

Thanks again guys.... Bob (xbfan703)

I am accepting out of state mods and repairs for Xbox and Playstation 2

Also if you need a version 1.6 Xbox modded I can take care of that. I have many years experience with circuit board repair and running the necessary jumpers required for a 1.6 mod is no problem.

Bob is GREAT.  I sent my XBox too him he had a fast turn around time, answered all my super-newbie questions, and included a bunch of surpirses in my XBox.  He is awesome and I recomend him to anyone who want their XBox modded or a hard drive installed.  By the way he installed a mod chip and a hard drive for me.

Bob is an awesome guy he is really nice and he hooked me up.  He Modded my xbox and put in a new Harddrive and installed the dashboard for me.  He is really good and i would recommend him to anyone.  He really knows what he is talking about.  He modded my 1.6 xbox and it was the 1st 1.6 that he had ever done.  I watched him do it and he got it to work the 1st time.  So if you need your xbox modded he is your man for the job.  Thanks alot Bob

I notice many posting looking for installers in regions all across the US....  I do in-state and out of state mods... if you are having difficulty finding someone close to where you live you can ship your xbox to me and I will quickly and professionally complete the work for you and ship it right back. Thanks.

I am now manufacturing Hard Drive Switcher Cables which are custom built to your needs.  The cable comes as a plug and play unit... no soldering required to install. It will allow you to switch between two hard drives... selecting the hard drive you wish to boot your xbox up with and features a toggle switch all the necessary hdd power connectors and indicator LEDS.  Great for those who desire extra storage space for your xbox games and applications, Linux and is great for those who want to play xbox games on Xbox Live.
