HELP Need guidance on buying a console

[Avatriix]

I'm not the best with the terms of JTAG/RGH modding/consoles but I'm looking into buying one and I don't know specs, what prices I should be paying and all the other stuff I should know but I don't.

So I'm looking for a console that I can do modding on, play burnt games on, go online with and a console that I can rely on without going through hardware issues.

Also please leave a link or where to look for what I want to get if possible. (Cheap as possible)

If you could provide me with answers that go in depth and not too advanced that'd be great.

Depends if you either want the old style phat 360 or a newer slim one.

The best phat console is the Jasper one. Plenty of them going around on a popular auction site.
The newer slim consoles are much quieter and cooler although I've not properly looked at the slim side so someone else may be able to clarify on this one.

In my experience I find the Phat console easier to work with and easier to open up without damaging the casing (Using the TX unlock kit) and go for much cheaper than a slim.

In my opinion i rather go with a trinity slim. I find that they are just as easy to open as a phat system providing that you have opened one before.

Smaller, cooler looking easy to mod and they don't sound like a chain sow

I wud say dual nand trinity with a flashed drive is the best option at the moment. Everything u need in 1 console. Put a post in request service or item on here once u found out what u want.

The best phat console is the Jasper one.

The most reliable of all the consoles is the jasper. phat or slim

yup,after reworking thouuuusands of consoles,to this day still only 6 jaspers ever came to me with rrod,and 2 of those 6 you cant count,customers fault.one the guys old lady felt he spent toooo much time on his i guess,and tossed it over thier 2 story balcony,the other a drunk college kid dropped it down a flight of steps.so technically only 4 of those 6 boxes developed this issue on thier own with no help.and i bet ive reworked over 17,500 consoles at leeeeast by now.jaspers hands down the most reliable,but,with that said,who knows how long they will actually continue to hold up.they could start dying any day in large numbers who knows.but id put my money ona jasper any day over anything else out there.
