Ryan does great work and he knows what works. The mod was very fast and simple. Even with me being completely new to xboxes he was patient and helped me learn what I needed to start out. Well worth the small fee, Give the guy some business!

Hey, no problem. Any more questions, just IM me or send me and email!
Hi, im an official "noobie" at installing modchips, however, i know alot about what u can do with it.. and such, i would like you to install my modchip but do you allow us to send our xbox to you? the reason for this is because i live in San Jose, at least a 4 or 5 hour drive to fresno or something..
Its UNBELIEVABLE you have installatiobn prices for ONLY 30-50 dollars!
Thanks!!!!
And btw, would this be negotiable?
Xecuter 2.3bLite for 30 dollars
Xecuter Installation Service: 35
because we would not like to spend so much on this xbox modchip installation and chip... its very money consuming

This guy is one of the best. Hooked me up with a 1.6 board fully hooked up and ready to go. All I had to do is drop in my ice chip and I was ready to go. Shipped as promised and on time. Packed the goods nice as well. Cant go wrong with this guy, great workmanship, prices and guy to deal with!! Thansk again Civic |

Ryan is amazing!!!
I have an old 1.1 with lead filled holes. This guy spent a ton of time on my box to get the solderless to work. After half the day, he got it! This guy is really cool.
I am using this guy as much as possible. I recommnend him 100%. He really knows what he is doing.
If you are looking for someone to do your mod, stop looking, you found him. I would buy the chip from him too. He has a great deal on them. It beats having to buy it somewhere else having it shipped, taking a chance it is a clone, and then shipping it all to Ryan. Cut out all of the middle men. BUY FROM HIM!!
I will be sending him my business for some time to come.
Thanks again Ryan!! |
Hey, thanks. Sometimes those solderless chips are a real pain. Glad you have no problems now. Plus your Xbox looks awesome with the blue modded color startup and the purple modded one. Glad to hear that you're getting more mods near Sacramento! -Ryan
I would hightly recommend this guy. Great prices and fast/great work. He installed a Xenium Ice on my Halo LE 1.6 and got another 1.6 ready for me for when I get another Xenium Ice. He let me bring it to him and had it done right there while I was watching.
If you live in the central valley or have no problem shipping your xbox to someone, use this guy!
Thanks Ryan, I am sure I will see you again!
Walter
Cool, looking forward to hearing back from you with more mods. Thanks!
Just got a lot more of Xecuter 2.3b Lites in and a couple Xenium ICE! Bump
i will buy from again!

I added ChipsInABoxMods into my buddy list a few months ago thinking i might need a unit one day. Late tonight (2 PM EST) i was having some trouble backing up some programs on the XBOX with my assortment of loaders. I IM'd Chips and for an hour he was helping me out with questions and let's say, after that hour I was able to get the new software off the IRC and get in installed onto my box. Now it's humming along. Next Mod work I need, I will get it from Chips In A Box. I'm already thinking of getting another premod.

Never shipped my orginal HD back after update and install of a new HD, I supplied. He tends to overcharge a little on shipping 18 dollars to ship a few hundred miles away, Cost me to ship via UPS with purchase of box (5 dollars) from store 21 dollars. Seems like a nice enough guy just watch out for a few gotchas missing from his policies.
CivicGuy: Will repost daily until HD is sent back, (Sorry I tried to be fair, but you leave me no choice)
Will review and edit as possitive as soon when satisfied with transaction. |
I do not overcharge for shipping. According to USPS, these are the rates I would have charged to 90505 8.8lbs, 2 day Priority Mail:

My "policy" from the front page:

| ** - All hard drive installs include all software of your choice, not just the "basic" software that most modders do (email or IM me with questions or requests), as many dashboards as you'd like, customized BIOS and are locked when done so the original MS Dash will work for Xbox Live. If you would like to have your original 8gb HD back, then please state before mods are done. |
You should recieve your unlocked 8gb hd soon.
Thanks,
Ryan

Although I didnt get a mod chip installed from him. I was going to but he showed me what to do and I am now able to install a chip myself. CivicGuy is very knowlagable and I recommend his totaly even though he didnt install anything. If i ever want anything installed I know where to go. Thanks CivicGuy

E-mail sent. Did you ever give back the dude's hard drive? What took so long?
Your 8gb Hard Drive was shipped via USPS Parcel Post, it may have taken a little while longer.
| QUOTE |
| Also note: If you ever want to get onto "Live" you'll need your orginal HD back. Make sure the installer will give you back your drive. |
All my previous customers that play on XBLive with a larger HD have had no problems at all. Swapping your HD back can get you banned now, read:
| QUOTE |
Xbox Banning Due To Drive Size? >> From www.teamxtender.com
Currently there are issues with people getting banned on Xbox live for a number of reasons. There are many reasons people think of that this is happing... here are the following reasons: 1. The Marriage Theory: When you go on XBL with an Xbox MS marries your EEPROM to your HD serial in their database. ~Gumba 2. LPC scan: checks to see if you have a modchip installed. 3. HD contents check: checks to see if you have any illegal code on your C: and E: partions of your Xbox...
We personally tested all theories and the only one that makes sense is the marriage theory. |
If you have already gone on XBLive with a HD that I've installed, then change back to your original afterwards, you are at high risk of your EEPROM being banned under the "Marriage Theory". All HDs I install have the same exact EEPROM as before, so XBLive will not have seen any difference at all. Why would I be installing HDs just so you have to open your Xbox up and reinstall your old one?
Why are you are telling people to change their HD (HD serial number) back just to get banned? You are also trying to start arguments on other people's topics, which may result in a ban from x-scene, please be more mature about this.
(Someone just got told...)
Hey guys i just got my XBOX back from Ryan, It was a pretty big project for him, so it did take some time, however i am VERY happy with the end result. The craftsmanship is excellent, and everything looks so professional. If you need an XBOX modder, stop right here, EXCELLENT WORK.
Once again Ryan thank you for everything, you will be getting more business from me, as well as some of my friends.

I never had any problems getting my box modded by Ryan, if he said he sent the drive, it then it's in the mail.
Will be sending my Xbox to him tomorrow. (Saturday, 4th of December). I'll post back about his service. Also, if he doesn't take the pictures himself, I will, then post it here for people to see his work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You have to post some pics of your Xbox I did, it was by far the best premod I've done before. My friends love the color scheme of blue, (blue colormodded bios, blue Xenium Internal and External LEDs, blue LED controller ports, blue eject light, blue LED fan, cleared jewel w/blue LED ring) and now want theirs all done. Have fun! -Ryan

I Just want to say thanks to Ryan for modding my Xbox he did a great job. The thing works perfectly. All my friends are drooling over my hot rod xbox. Ryan put in a new 120g hard drive and replaced a DVD drive that was on its last leg. He also added more games and programs than I'll eber have time to play. Thanks again Ryan. The mod was worth every penny and a lot more.

Hey John, thanks. Have fun with your mods at the shop, you have a sic setup with your Xbox online there. I have lowering springs for my hatch, and when I get that done, I'll hit you up for a "www.ChipInABox.com" or "ChipInABox Console Mods" vinyl for my civic. Thanks again for your business. -Ryan

Asked for HD back in Early October finally sent November 30th. I haven't tried the HD who know if it works as it was sent in a bubble wrap envelope, no box. Hope your experience is better than mine.
Good luck. |

Yep, got it. Thanks.
It depends where you are located. I mostly use FedEX and UPS for shipping. Right now the turnaround time will be the week after Christmas. Everyone else that has shipped their Xboxes to me will recieve them before Christmas.

I received my xboxs today. Two are in proper condition and the other two are not functioning correctly. One disk tray will not eject at all. And Another one simply won't read any discs (I've tried real games, backup'd games, DVD's, and other media). Please get back to me on how to fix these problems, I'm so let down that you sent me two nonworking xboxs. Email me at [email protected]
Thanks Ryan! Just got my XBox and its a job well done.
This guy is cool. I had a v1.6 and an Xecuter chip. I first tried to do it myself, but I'm an unexperienced solderer. So, after trying to rebuild the LPC, I gave up cause I couldn't do it. So, I emailed Ryan, and he said he can do it for me.
After he installed it, it didn't work. The Xecuter chip basically messed up my XBox. Like no video, or after a couple of reboots, it would come up but freeze. Basically, something's not right (there was a few threads on this issue with the Xecuter chip). And Ryan stands by his 100% parts and labor that he even bought me a new XBox and a Xenium ICE mod chip for free! This guy is the best.
I have my new XBox thats modded. I'm happy.
