i think that an unockable hard drive will not let you gte onto the M$ Dashboard to changes etting such as time, and date etc...

You can still get access to the ms dashboard from the evox dashboard if your hard drive is unlocked, well at least I can, either that or I'm insane, lol.

Well thats my problem, I would get a 7200rpm hdd but i keep hearing about heat issues .
I will not be putting anymore fans in the xbox, so will the stock cooling of the 1 fan be enough ?

i have another question, its their any point of getting over 160 gigs?
like i don't think i am ever going to have more then 60 games or movies so is that just a waste of space ?

i think that the extra space is worth it but it's really not needed unless you are turning your box to like a media center with craploads of movies and music ;)

i am a dumbass, what was i thinking ? the larger size the better ! i can store massive games and movies. Why would i not want to store full dvd movies on my xbox, i am retarted.
i am so going for a 200 gigger. anything more is just too much money .

Better check before you buy. I've read somewhere that you can not install over 137 GB unless you have a special bios that will read the extra data. Just looking out.
