Has anyone here seen or used one of these for ripping? The seller claims it mimics a BenQ and rips XGD3.

EBay Listing

Philips DROM6316 PREMOD Kreon XGD3 Benq 0800 v3 16x Internal dvdrom drive

Yea, it is possible (but overpriced). You can even use this drive as a replacement for a BenQ, just takes some soldering.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

As I said, possible (if you're willing to pay the price for the enclosure, that is).
I've found one that's around 5 US$ cheaper:

Funny thing is, I could get one of these drives unmodified for 15 Euros (that's around 22-23 USD) unmodified, but I can't find a decent guide to mod it myself.

any idea on why the drive cant be used as is. i mean, why do those mods have to be done to use?

Because the 0800 firmware replaces the original one and 0800 is an Xbox 360 firmware, meaning the open/close mechanism doesn't work anymore, the firmware expects a signal from the Xbox 360 mainboard. Therefore the tray motor has to be turned around and the polarity has to be changed. Some soldering has to be done, including wiring a new switch in.

Now I found a decent guide on how to do it on Xbox360iso.com and the drive is sold out:

Gotta be kidding me. Just asked the seller if he has more of these drives.

I also found a tutorial on how to put an Xbox 360 0800 drive into a HD DVD enclosure:

It's a little too high for me, especially because English is not my mother tongue and I don't get all the tech words, so I won't try this one.
