They reported 2 cases of swine flu in VA, but they refused to release any information regarding where in VA or any other details.
 
There's still a couple hours left on the Fable code. There was one that ended this afternoon at $55, which is rigoddamndiculous for a code that doesn't really do anything and doesn't come with the game.
 
I hate the USPS sometimes. I used their auto postal machine to ship Puma's hard drive. The package was about 14 ounces. I took and dropped the package in the drop off thing and then saw the sign on the front, "No packages weighing more than 13 ounces."

I hope they don't return it, was just an ounce over. Why the hell do they have that automated machine when you have to hand them anything heavier than 13 ounces? fucking rules..
 
After fixing e74 for the 3rd time I got it again. I'm done with this xbox. How much can I sell this shit for parts?

I might want your optical drive, mine is dying on 360#1

I need to research how hard swapping one out is first.
 
No, I didn't have to drill holes, but I did. I just think this xbox is fucked, which really sucks since it's a BenQ and easy as hell to :cool:. That pisses me off more than anything else.
 
Hmm, I have two RROD(non-E74) boxes that I'd like to refurb but I don't want to have to make the default holes bigger.
 
You probably don't have too, mang. In fact, I didn't have too, I just did because I thought I did. All you need is 4 screws, 8 metal washers and 8 nylon washers.
 
Where did you buy your parts? I tried looking for them back in October when I was desperate but I kind of don't know anything about screws or their measurements so I couldn't find what I needed. Do you have the part numbers still?
 
This is all from my main mang frosty:

[quote name='corrosivefrost']This guide is really good:

He misses a few steps in it though.

You need these parts from a Lowe's:

Lowes product numbers for the stuff:
138433- M5-.80 x 10 Screws
138319- 5mm Flat Metal Washers
139065- #10 Flat Nylon Washers

Basically, you remove everything, so you can take the board out of the case. You flip it over and gently pry off the XCLAMP for the Graphics Heatsink. You unscrew the pegs from the graphics heatsink. You then screw the heatsink on with the new bolts and washers. You will probably have to drill out the holes to a 13/64 size because of the pan heads, but it's not really hard -- once it's screwed on, you set it back in the case, connect the DVD drive and the fan. You then power it on with the fan sitting across the dvd drive and the CPU heatsink -- this keeps the CPU cool so that the box will overheat on purpose (like the towel trick, sorta)... you leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then turn it off and wait for awhile for it to cool. Test it, and if it works, reassemble the box.

This video is also helpful, it shows some of the parts of the attaching the heatsink the first video doesn't:

Yeah, it worked for a day! The first time I didn't put fresh paste on it. The next time I cleaned it up and put fresh paste on it. It looked real nice. Just now it booted up fine. When I cut it off to connect the HDD I got e74.
 
How much do drives go for? I think I could sell some stuff after I get the arcade:

drive: ?
heatsink: $10
powerbrick: $20
controller: $25
memory card: $10
cables: ?

I don't know if I could get that much, but it's a start.
 
I used to listen to the Rachel Maddow show.

Just tried this Mountain Dew Throwback. Not sure I like it. I used to looove Mountain Dew in a glass bottle when I was a kid. Trust me, it had to be the kind in a glass bottle - it made all the difference.

Not so sure I like this Throwback, though. Maybe it's the can, maybe it's that it isn't ice cold. You can REALLY tatse the sugar, though. It has an after-taste of licking a spoon that was just used to scoop sugar into tea, or something.

I don't think it is a good thing. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was drinking Diet MD, because of the weird sweet aftertaste.

Oh...about my swine flu suspicions at work?
Without going into detail, I have had such an upset stomach that I was a frequent visiotr to the restroom...and was worried about any "sudden emergencies" on the way home. Plus, I have been going between burning up and sweating to freezing/ wearing my leather jacket at my desk.

Thankfully, my stomach finally settled. I probably just ate something that disagreed with me...but the fever and chills?

That sounds exactly like what I had just a few days ago...

What about :cool: drives? Is there even a market for that?

Coke OF in a glass bottle :drool:.

I like pretty much everything better from a glass bottle, except for sprite. For some reason it taste better in a can.

Why?

Did you get COD4 for the Triple?
