Any thoughts. Haven't modded my 360. This looks like a good alternative to opening your case.

We are pleased to release our latest addon hardware for the Xbox 360. The Xecuter xDrive 360!
Features:
* 2nd 360 Drive for all version of XBOX 360.
* Easy to install, no power adaptor.
* Fully supports Hitachi, Samsung, Benq & Liteon.
* Switch between your internal untouched DVD Drive and your external modified DVD Drive.
* Easy external upgrade of xDrive 360 using the CK3
* Extend the life of your internal DVD Drive.
You have to open your case to install that anyway... So if you are wanted to get that to try and save your warranty or you are scared to open your 360, you are still out of luck.
It's pointless! It is going to take up alot of room and... GAH! It is just pointless. Team-Xecuter has made some pretty cool stuff but most of it is pointless. Also, knowing Team-Xecuter and their prices, this thing will probably close to $60... And that's not counting buying a second DVD drive to install in the external case. PLUS! If you have never flashed a 360 before and you have a Lite-On, you are going to have to buy some type of Kit/Probe which will be $40+
So, you are spending almost $150 on something that is pointless. You can but a cheap Kit/Probe for about $30 or so and get the job done. If you are worrying about the life of your DVD Drive... Just buy a 120GB HDD or make one yourself using a 120GB WD Scorpio and install all your games to your HDD.
To sum it all up... Waste of money that will take up space and end up causing more problems that a normal flash, and you still have to take apart your 360.
OH, sorry. I misunderstood. I thought it was an external plug to the USB port. THanks for clearing up that you still have to open your XBOX 360. So any advice to a first timer? a friend gave me a 360 that has no video or audio but lights are green. He said if i can fix it i can keep it and i thought if i magically fixed it that i could the keep it as my modded 360.
Thanks for any and all help. Sorry for the mix up and please speak slowly as i'm a n00b at this firmware modding. always just paid someone else to do my previous gen consoles.
