Where to buy xbox mobos?

[MrGrim151]

Well it's official, i'm a n00b who killed his xbox motherboard. Now my question is, where do i get another one? I have googled and found this place:
http://www.consolexperts.com/xbox/xbox_motherboard.html
Is that a legit site? Or is there a better one out there to get this kind of stuff.

My other question is do i need to change my hardrive. It's in perfect condition but on ebay everyone is selling the mobo and hardrive together, so i thought maybe you need the hardrive that went with that mobo. This probably isnt right but just wanted to check. Thx in advance guys.

try ebay, sometimes you can get on with a matching hd

You can also usually find replacement parts on www.llamma.com.

What do you mean "get on". I already have xbox live and a TON of saved games so i would really like to keap my hardrive. Do i HAVE to get a matching hardrive?

Could i just connect a chip and unlock it? Or would it have to be unlocked to even unlock/lock it with a chip?

Holy balls that's spendy. $127? I thought it was only like $80 tops for a 1.6 board and HD.

shipping was 35 and the board was 89.99.

Was that one of those replacement motherboards that come with a new powersuply, switches, case, hdd, dvd all in a retail box? EB and Gamespot have pre-played (tradein) boxes at that price ... and I'm guessing you're not too far from the EB stores in Greenville.

Re: Which dvd drives?

can u tell by the look of the tray??

There was a post some time ago i found that showed a few different looking trays and what drive it would be but i think it might have been for the regular ''fat'' 360's
