I got a Crystal XBOX to, brand new...
The see through version, not the green one!

I do have 3,3v on LPC pin 9 and I have a Focus video chip:
Will a modchip work for me? and... What version do I have?

About the fan...
Its sad but true,sunon fans produce a hell of a noise.My brand new crystal box sounds just like my PC(which has 6 fans,btw).Keep a sharp eye for mfg date 2004-01-30 and serial 2.....40505.I will take its guts out tommorow morning,pease be patient to see if i have the v1.6 ver(cough**BS**BS**cough).
And a newbie question:can i replace the sunon fan in the crystal box with the one inside my old box(v1.1,barely heard)????
Thanks in advance.

Well, you can replace it by any fan you like, as long as it cools enough.

Maybe there aren't many 1.6 boards out there yet.  There was one guy on these forums who had a Focus encoder (see mnemonico's post here), reported on 16th July 2003.  It didn't get a mention on the Xbox-Scene news page until three weeks later (6th August).  Team Xecuter didn't start playing with them until five weeks after that (12th September).  The first hacked BIOS (EvoX M7) was released on 20th September.
Maybe the 1.6 that's been spotted was one of these early machines.  Perhaps M$ drop a few into the supply chain to see if they work, before switching over to mass production?

The upshot being that mnemonico had a Focus chip 3 weeks before anyone else noticed, and had to wait two months for a BIOS.

 Exobex: Your timing is WAY off on v1.4 - there were actually machines in Brazil with the Focus chip half a year before they were spotted in Europe .. !

Team X-ecuter did no work at all on v1.4, they were totally asleep through that time. I take the credit for analyzing the difference and the need for a modbios made from the new kernel on that actually .. EvoX did the actual bios-patching work, and (sorry, forgot his name) someone in Asia worked out what differed a v1.5 from a v1.4.

Team X-ecuter had had v1.5-boards since months and had done nothing.

go back to the xboxdash and reset the clock its simple, this happens when the xbox is unplugged

some games rely on the clock to be set if its on 8907 it wont run, i freaked as well the 1st time it happened to me
