If it was me I would keep the 1.6 board its not that hard to mod also to get in xb without anyone knowing you could use hair dryer on stickers also you said you bought 1 year warranty well xbox already has 1 year with it anyway but ms in uk told me that shops dont cover that you have to get in contact with them unless its in the first 14 days of purchase then the shop deals with it.

wait. its not all about the modding either. i would like to have a v1.0, i saw that the daughter boards for v1.0 are 8 bucks on www.llamma.com but i cant find v1.0 power supply. let me get this straight, i need:

v1.0 mother board
v1.0 power supply
v1.0 daughter board

and everything else will work with it?

just the power supply and the mobo with macthing hard drive.
its just the cable that you connect the dvd and hdd to the mobo with.
if its cheap i would get it.

and why arent you listening to my suggestion.
just pay some one to mod it.
you are just wasting money and time

Yes, They changed it.  The daughter board is not needed on the 1.2 and above.

The case is different in a v1.6 as well (screw holes dont line up), so you will need to buy a:
-non 1.6 motherboard
-non 1.6 powersupply
-non 1.6 case

so there wont be much left of the original xbox, especially if you upgrade the harddrive to a larger one - ie you keep the DVD drive, and swap everything else!

you have to rebuild the lpc so your modchip has access to lad0, lad1, lad2, and lad3 and the proper voltage.
if you take your time and have a decent soldering iron it is not that hard
