omg i SOOOO woulda done that myself, but i JUST ordered the samsung dvd player on ebay... damn do i feel dumb for not thinking of something like that... i didn't wanna make my case ugly, and you just proved me wrong!

The Samsung 162C is still nice to have. It's in place all of the time, and once you flash it with Kreon .81 it's no additional work at all. Plus you can continue watching the HD movie you downloaded from Live, while your ripping or burning that backup.

This is my idea, but where can i get a 7-wire switch? That's my only problem at the moment.

i think you can pull it off with a 4 wire switch... i saw a thread last week from another case modder on this site who used a 4 wire switch to do the same thing. i think it was called "darth vader" mod.

Look for a 4PDT switch.

lpezster · « **Reply #96 on:** February 01, 2007, 03:21:00 PM »

Could i do this, with two 6PDT switches? Like choose between the wire go to MB from DVD and from DVD to pc?
it haves "ON - OFF - ON", and 6 points.

Okay, and how do i have to solder the cables together now? There are 3 GND and 4 other each cable. The 3 GND of each cable all together and the other 4 wires of each cable to the 4PDT switch, right?

I mean every switch have 6 points on them, so if i use both i can get two wires on each, requires that i flip both when i wanna use the external sata wire.

This is all great! I did a SATA bracket that is female to female and I have it all connected. The Sata PCI from my computer is run with a SATA cable right into the top of my 360.

But how do I get my computer to recognize it without the connectivity kit? I see all of you do this SATA mod straight from the 360 to the pc. I have mine set up exactly like that but the computer does not recognize it!

Send my tutorial, I have read some already but nothing.

Nevermind I figured it out I used a slax live cd and got my 360 into modeB and the computer recognized it.

Navillos · « **Reply #103 on:** February 07, 2007, 04:47:00 PM »

also what about all the shielding on the cables i mean would heatshrink be enough? no kind of signal loss?

I'm going to try white plastic "heat shrink" or something around the cut next time to make for a cleaner finish.

I like the switch ideal. I might do something like that.
