HERE IS HOW I SETUP MY XBOX TO FLASH CHEAPMODS QUICKLY (takes 10 seconds at most to flash a cheapmod w/ xbox compared to 2 minutes w/ a programmer).

I leave my xbox cover unscrewed and harddrive/dvdrom unscrewed as well. I can just pop them off quickly as so.

As you can see I used headers to install the chip. In this picture, I pulled off the chip revealing the 2x6 male headers attached to the LPC.

Whenever I want to flash my cheapmod, I just insert the cheapmod onto the male headers as so.

I tilt the cheapmod a bit to get contact between the points and the headers. I just flash away and pull the chip out and proceed to the next one. Total time of flashing? At most 10 seconds and I'm also able to boot up the chip to test if it's working.

Great pics!

Is that double-sided sticky tape to hold the chip in place on the headers?
Does it keep the points attached to the headers fairly securely?

Double sided tape is mainly there to provide a cushion between the underside of the chip and the traces on the motherboard. Don't really need it at all.

Snorky, you use evolution X dashboard to flash the chip. There's a tutorial on it in the tutorial section of xbox-scene.

You should flash them with the Cromwell bios. I want to buy some.... but I really would like to be able to program them without using another console. What about a cheap programmer? However... preflashed with the linux cromwell bios would be the best option. Also... where are you located? If I buy some from you... I wanna get idea on how long it will take to reach me.
