  1. Playing with this in work today a few things to point out.

    1. It can never RRoD becuase they've removed the red LED's (Win?)

    2. The heat output is amazing the new fan (on the side defo does the job)

    3.Other than the Kinect port and an extra 2 USB ports is very similar.

     

     

     

    One last thing the hard drive is in the bottom (similar to the PS3) So ifour at a shop and its on display tryto nick the HDD xD

  2. Just mention this is Charlottes car before we go any further.

     

    Basically she had saved up for the new 10plate Fiesta in frost white (on finance) however after much deliberation I convinced her to keep her current car and save the money for a deposit on a house in a few years.

     

    So I asked "why dont you like yours? Why do you NEED a new one?!"

    And the reply I got was "The steering wheel bugs me and I want a black interior..."

     

    Old...

    So after telling her how daft that sounded I gave a breakers yard a call (Transplants Auto's) and priced up the bits and bobs, for a full new interior (Black of course) and had a chat with the woman and managed to get the price down from £350 - Interior panels, £125 - Steering wheel, £100 - Seats to an amazing £175 for the lot! I got it this cheap because I said I'd take the parts out of the "doner" car myself...

    So I got a van with one of my mates, picked the stuff up and its only when I got home i relised what a dig job this would be... The only things that would be left in the car was the Dashboard, Roof liner and carpet. :eek2:

     

    So I made a start, firstly cleaning all the parts bought and making them look brand new. Before starting with the passanger seat...
