IIt's obvious( to me, at least) that someone wanted the green case, and stuffed the leftovers in a retail case -which is not a scam, the cases can go for upwards of $200 by themselves. you can't say it's because the stickers are peeled, because no one batted an eye when army of one tried to sell one with peeled stickers.Here ( In fact, if you'll look at reply #3, it, "can I buy just the case?" - which has happened almost every time someone has posted an xdk. You can't say it's because it's missing parts, because the above referenced xbox is missing parts as well. And it wouldn't be right ( as has been inferred) to pull it because the seller is a noob, because the poster has been a member here for a *longer* period of time than the above referenced poster.
Give the guy a break - I can't see the motherboard well enough to tell for sure if it has 128 megs of ram on it, but I'd bet it does, and really - If *I* was going to put fake stickers on something, I'd put new ones on, not ones that have been peeled.
BTW, I don't know the sellers in *either* post,and for the record, I don't think it's proper for anyone to sell xdk's on this board, simply because it's liable to attract the wrong kind of attention from M$.

The board *is* older than the case ( it has a v1.0 daughterboard in the front, which would make it at least 6 months older than the case - but it looks genuine to me...

is a Retail Xbox with TSOP flashed and XDK soft on it. not an original XDK Console , XDK's are green and clear , not black, it even has header pins , another sign of a TSOP was made.

sorry, dude, you don't know what you're talking about - if you read my previous post, you'ld see that I said the case had been changed, it could be pink for all I care, it's an xdk motherboard, not a tsop'ed stock board.
and you can't tsop an xbox with header pins. The tsop is deactivated when you put an lpc mod chip on.

That should remove all doubt. But you still wont rake in as much cash as if you had the green case. Sad, but true.

I agree - I think the biggest thing pushing up the price on xdk's is the green case, however, *someone* got a green case, and if you really want an xdk to use, instead of a "trophy", it would be fine.
Anyway, my point in making the thread was to point out that killing vmehta211's thread was unfair - there's no evidence he was trying to scam anyone, none of his posts indicated he was ( If he wanted to rip someone off he'd have posted a pic of a debug kit in a green case - how hard is it to steal a pic?) .

| well they all have the right to do what they did to u to many scamers on these forums to let something like that slide, your bad for not supplying enough info untill they jumped your case |
I'd have to disagree here, obviously at least one of the people flaming away didn't have enough knowledge to spot a debug kit if it hit him over the head *six times* , and hasn't yet apologized.

I'm guessing something just like that. Someone bought the green case, just like YOU wanted to buy a clear case.

yes, it most deffinitly is, and the extra 64MB of ram has been soldered on by hand as one can clearly see
Look on the solder job on the right which is done by a machine, now look at the left one
PS! Real debug do not have pin headers. Selling this Xbox with the XDK Launcher on it is illegal.

Jeez, yours must be fake then , Xbox-Savage
I mean, I found 3 xdk pictures( including a prototype), and they all had header pins. Yours doesn't? It's not like you'ld know an xdk if it hit you over the head - you couldn't spot the ram ( earlier in this thread), and you don't know how the lpc bus works ( earlier in this thread) - I bet someone put stock xbox guts in a debug kit case, and sold them to you for like $500, am I right? You owe vmehta211 an apology, btw.

The only people not convinced are the trolls... I won't feed them anymore, good luck with your sale..

Also, if you're not convinced, just ignore the thread instead of whoring this guy's sale.

Maybe you should look at a retail xbox, the ram which you are claiming was soldered in by hand, is the one that the xbox comes with....(below, and to the left the GPU)
here is a nice picture if you get confused:
