IF the Box shows up he willl get paid.. IF it don't I will get my paypal back as a complaint has bveen filed.
Sucks that the seach feature is gone and the ability to see a users post's - would of helped me reseach the guy better to know alot of you have had issues with him.
Thanks for the Ebay link.. I'll look into that one. I emailed the dude already - it has a Smart XX V3 and a 120 gig drive in it. His auction is quite DUll since Ebay can pull it for the slighist mention of anything MOD.
Mean while anyone else have one to sell - PM me.

I placed the claim less than 48 hours after paying him.
It takes 3-4 days to transfur from paypal to an account and If he ask's for a Check to be issued, it takes 3-5 days to issue then mail.
I Called paypal and they told me I should be ok and I should get my money back.
He has also no returned my PM's But He has been On.
Dude - CODA - If you see this - please Just click the refund button. I would apperciate it, it would show good will man. - IF you really do have the DreamX Please let me know it's on the way - If i Get it I will remove the Paypal Complaint Right away.
If not I will fight like hell with paypal to get my cash back.
ANYONE WITH A DREAMX Friendtech Xbox 1480MHZ . I really could use one I have so many Captures that won't play on my normal Xbox becuase the processor cannot handle the Codec.
I am willing to give you Xbox 360 Premium system with Hard drive (no power supply) Brand Spanking new - and or pay cash.
PM ME IF you have one (and have references please).
I've had this happen to me once before - That guy was also a scammer. I hate Scammers - Why do people have to be such Dicks.

just wondering, how much did you send cota for the box?
Post by: Dano2k0 on July 05, 2006, 05:31:00 AM
Also any boards that have this upgrade will come with 128MB RAM.
Just thought i'd give a heads up, i'm not selling any yet as its something i'm working on but hopefully i may have something available in the near future, but we'll see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
PS for you guys in the US the only trouble you'd have getting a board from me, if and when i do sell them is i'm from the UK.

Hey NYCXBOX, this is a free bump for you for helping me understand modding with your video. Also, how much do you think it would cost to get just a Dream X Motherboard or to have them do it to a 1.6B? Anyway, I hope you get what you are looking for and if did you say you would trade a 360 for a Smoke LE?
Let me Know
Thanks
Cant be done - only on V1.0 - 1.4 (1.5 is possible but wouldnt recommend it and 1.6+ is not possible since the ram cannot be upgraded and that processor upgrade would be a waste on there due to LPC being all dissconnected. ALSO - Just traded BESO323 for his Crystal modded with lights and such - NO chip (softmodded - but i'll change that) + led controller and WIreless adapter for the 360 - the only 360 i have left im saving for a good trade... Like the Upgraded MOBO or something better... I have all the Regualr Xbox's I need - unless it is super special, like a DreamX or Panzer.

Although this isn't what your looking for, in the near future i may be offering pre-upgraded motherboards for sale with a P3 1GHZ processor, 256k cache, i belive the patch available for the dream x console should also work with this upgrade if it becomes sucessfull for playing games, but will work wonders in XBMC.
Also any boards that have this upgrade will come with 128MB RAM.

PS for you guys in the US the only trouble you'd have getting a board from me, if and when i do sell them is i'm from the UK.
I am Very Intersted In this Board that you are offering. Please keep me in mind when you have them ready for sale. I have all the Xbox's I need for playing games.. (I have 6 Xboxs all with X3CP, X3IR and X3 Chip) all Loaded with 400 gig drives and Games up the wazoo.
I really want a Upgraded MOtherboard with 128 MB of ram and a Larger faster processor.
My buddy has a DreamX Xbox with the 1480 mhz processor - We ran so much 720P Captures on the box + emulators (especially PSX EMU) plays like a dream. Thats all I want a DREAMX XBOX FOR.
Im curious about a few things.
Will the processor you are using be able to be switched back or downclocked to 733 mhz like the DreamX was able to? Not that I care, just curious.
Have you done one of these mods yet? What are your results so far?
What will the cost of these badboys be Both for FULL BOX and For MB only?
Will you be using UK boards or with the Video Selector Program to change Video modes - is this not an Issue? And will US buyers have it set to NTSC upon ship?
I would be interested in MB only and I would be interested in (3) of them, At the right price of course. (My theather, Bedroom and Livingroom - as my wife loves XBMC - i have over a TB yes a TB of TV shows and moves on demand for her to stream whenever she wants). I have 3 Xbox's now with 128 meg of ram - and with the exception of MAME and a few other EMu's the Ram don't make the difference. I also have the DreamX Patch program you refer to and My buddy and I have tried this with a Ton of games and it truely makes the difference. We also used it with the Default.xbe for XBMC - though there is no difference - I think all builds are already edited to be DreamX Friendly.
Get back to me as I am very Interested in this....
Buying and selling with someone in the UK is no big deal. I just shipped a 50 lb VAIO PC over there and it got there in 7 days using certifed Express mail - And for Just MOBO's the shipping should be very reasonable.
I would be interested in a trade as well as cash. I have a full premium System to trade for a few of these MOBO's I don't know what you are charging for the MOBO's when you get the mod done, but I think a Premium - if you are interested - mighr be worth a bit something to you.
Take care and keep me apprised.

never heard of the patch, but i don't think it would help when using my original discs.
any insight into this? i've already got a 128mb motherboard, and would really like to consider getting this system maxed out.
Post by: sheepie on July 08, 2006, 11:29:00 AM
as a movie box the extra cpu juice comes in handy for playing back hidef .ts streams
Post by: NYCXBOX on July 13, 2006, 11:56:00 PM
It will play 720 HIDEF avi captures - but thats about it. I have HIgher end Encoded content and even .TS Files and they will not play for nothing on there. I have used the newest WMC on there and nothing.
Im sure the MOBO's Dano2ko was talking about should pretty much do the same thing. They will play slightly higher end encoded files (HENCE THE REASON I WANT ONE) but .ts files are still a wet dream for Xbox. Maybe Xbox360 Media center Will do that when home brew is avalable.
Post by: Arjun on July 14, 2006, 12:40:00 AM
The current CPU is desoldered? Then they have to install an adapter, then install the new one? Where can the adapter be found, and the new processor? Then I'm assuming a new bios has to be flashed...?
Post by: NYCXBOX on July 17, 2006, 12:23:00 AM
I wish I knew.
I really want a Upgraded Xbox just for XBMC.. It kills me not to be able to stream certain encoded videos - I hate watching them on my PC or hooking my PC up to my tv/... XBMC is so much better.

The only thing my xbox is missing is the ability to handle high definition xvid. I've been holding out hope that someone would eventually figure out how to use the gpu to help with playback but it probably won't happen.

DUDE I HEAR THAT!!!!!
I WANT HD XVID TO PLAYBACK TOO.. WIth a DreamX I think it works pretty well If i can find one. Hoping that the Xbox Upgrade that Dan2ko is working on comes through becuase I think that would be enough.

I received an Order Confirmation and Ordered 3 day shipping so Even if it ships tomorrow (Thurs) should be here by Saturday.
Worse that can happen is they say they don't carry them anymore and cancel my order or they Don't ship and they are a scam and I call my credit Card company and stop payment. Easy as that. I don't think they are a scam as they are Part of DIRECTRON - But I cannot say for sure if they are in stock or not. They might have none left and in that case the order just gets canceled by them - no cost to me.

But I couldn't personally justify spending that much on an xbox with a 1.4 ghz processor. It's much easier (and cheaper) to just build a cheap p4 system, put a cheap tuner in it, and run mythtv. The only thing it wouldn't do is play xbox games, but it doesn't seem like you're concerned about that.
Anyway, i'll get off my soapbox now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Perplexer kicks RvN off the soapbox...
The best video card STILL can't do better TV-out than you'd get from the Xbox. Plus, XBMC owns any alternative on the PC.
I'd also love a DreamX-1480, but I'm wishing REALLY HARD for a way to get homebrew on the 360...
Post by: A Murder of Crows on August 02, 2006, 11:47:00 PM
but in the end, the other mods seem more reasonable for the end product.....i can't justify the cost this would incur
Post by: NYCXBOX on August 03, 2006, 01:20:00 AM
Perplexer - Thanks for kind and correct words - your words are good as your Ram upgrades (and you have done many for me... - all of which I appreciate as none of those Xbox ever gave me a problem - PS: I finally used that Purple sprayed case you sold me - the guy I gave it to loved it.)
As for the $500+ for a DreamX Xbox....
As Perplexer Pointed out - The DreamX is the Best XBMC Xbox you can buy. I don't care if you can build the ultimate Myth TV box for $500 - the 720p output of an Xbox is UNRIVALED to any other Media Center extender or wannabe device. XBMC is the End all - be all - in Media centers. It can scale DVD's to the GUI resolution - hence my DVD's play at 720p and look fantastic - OK maybe a DENON or other $300+ model Standalone Upscale player can do the same job or even a bit better - but what else does XBMC do....... Lets Examine.
I personal Have a 3 TB machine set up in my basement. I download all my favorate TV shows (720p captures) Divx, XVid - and HD-Divx and the DreamX Xbox is the only way to go to watch some of these. THE HD stuff I have to watch through crappy PC output to a TV or Monitor.
If you ever Downloaded a 720P capture - IT studders alot with a Regular Xbox and 128 meg of ram (64 meg it freezes here and there). My buddy has a DreamX -(AS I POINTED OUT EARLIER) and I have borrowed his and I hate to say it - Once you Experience XBMC on a DreamX Xbox - it slams any Extender Device - any MCPC or anythiing else out there. MY TV collection as well as my Movie Collection, most of it, can be streamed through a regular Xbox - but the 720P and HD-DIVX - only a DREAMX With 1480Mhz processor will be able to decode a Stream and play it on your TV AT 720p with no studdering, slowdown, frameskips, dropped frames, ect.... + the Output of an Xbox is Amazing.
The only thing that I say will be better will be XBMC for the 360 when the homebrew thing happens.
Also XBMC asside. - Emulation on this Box is amazing. Mame is alot more compatable. As well as Sureal64 and the PSX emulator (forget the innitials) - The PSX emu is utterly amazing on this box. Now before you go telling me that a PC can do all this - Do you really want a PC hooked up in a Viewing / theather room - or would you rather have a sleek Xbox with Avalaunch/exoX/Unleash (whatever you prefer) Dashboard - simple Menu selection - Seemless intergration of Emulator, applications, Xbox Games and Media Center Selection. PLUS if you use the DreamX patching tool - 90% of xbox games play on the Dream X without a Hitch (Compatability used to be alot lower until this patch came out).
Is $500 a lot of money? YES
Do I Really have it to spend? Not really (Credit Card - Interest!!!! - will probibly cost me $600 once it's paid off)
Will I uterly enjoy it? YES
Do I already have a 200+ GB drive loaded and ready to be put in that sucker? YES I DO
How long will it take me from BOX to TV to get things going? about 5 minutes (HDD SWAP INCLUDED)
Will I Remove the Silly Media Key and put in my own modchip? YES, X3 most likely.
Might I even put a X3CP on there? Im thinking about it.
Do I care that you think the price is Rediculas? NOPE as I already paid for it.
Was it a good deal if it ships? Hell yea - even 4 years later.
Will Xbox 360 media center be better? Yes, but lets get homebrew working first.
Any other questions?
PS: This is still a BST - SO lets keep to the thread.
IM still interested in LE Box's and Im selling a samsung 360 Premium - see my other thread in 360 shopping forums.
Thanks Guys....
Last thing - IF you have a DreamX For sale - Im still interested as my order Does not guaranty I will get one from the order I placed.

I could justify spending a $1,000 on an Xbox that could playback high definition content. I have tried many different media center apps (MythTV, MediaPortal, MCE, Meedio) and they all suck rotting goat testicles when compared to XBMC.
I also still run MythTV on a machine in the basement. It runs only the backend. Guess what my frontend is? Yep, XBMCMythTV. It works great for scheduling and watching all the recorded programs. LiveTV is a little useless though as it takes about 10-15 seconds to buffer the station but I still prefer running it on the sleek XBMC interface where it is just a remote click away from all my network shared music and movies indexed with artwork covers and details.
