If anybody tries this you could damage your HD and X-box
This Wire is needed to power up the HD
DONT TRY IT.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I don't know a ton about the Xbox (Yet) but that sure looks to me like the power for the hard drive, I would think cutting it would render the Hard drive (and the xbox) useless, I hope Im wrong, but If Im not that guy is an idiot.

That's what I thought. I've already emailed this nut, and I'm thinking of contacting angelfire to get him shut down. Immature boys like he are going to ruin the modding scene.

I dunno. The sort of person who:
A. believes the techno-guff on that guy's site, and
B. cuts the power cable to his HD
is not the sort of person to own a set of Torx screwdrivers.

Yeh, we've had a giggle over this type of mod a few times in the past. It weeds out the idiots from the rest though!

i have to agree here, anyone that think's cutting a simple power wire will speed up there xbox is either:
A. a little kid, who should not be playing with electronic anyway
or
B. a mentally challenged adult
C. really gulable

This page is so incredibly outrageously over-the-top ridiculous that I really can't imagine ANYONE trying it!
I mean...I've seen a LOT of stupid people on the forums and channels, but come on...
NO ONE IS THIS F*&KING STUPID!!!
If I told you that removing two of your spark plug wires would make your car run faster, would ANYONE believe me?
The page is SATIRE!
The page is a SPOOF!

Anyone who is dumb enough to fall for that deserves to get their xbox screwed up.

I think the yellow is the 5v line into the hd
so youre cutting off power to the controller

Yellow is +12VDC. Cutting this wire leaves you with a HD that won't spin up.

Also, if you remove the motherboard you can play ps2 games too since the information that detects if the game is an xbox game will not check for which game it is for.
