Which wireless adapter would be better? Price, range, performance. I've tried to hack an old router but then I bricked it so that's out of the options.

Microsoft Wireless G Adapter
OR
Microsoft Wireless N Adapter

The N one because it has an external antenna. And is cheaper.
Don't forget that if you have any G device on an N network, all the speeds are reduced to that speed. Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks, and where can I get vinyls/labels like on Ben's laptops. I am talking about the words like USB, Ethernet, and all that good stuff.

I bought a Xbox 360 VGA cable and it doesn't even work. Just ordered it from eBay. Could I use it and connect it to the composite cable?

What? Use what and connect what to the composite cable?

No. Composite =/= RGB (VGA). Also, component =/= RGB.
But as to why the cable doesn't work, does your monitor support 1024x768? I think that's what it defaults to for the first setting.

I'm not sure because I was using my TV to test the cable and it didnt even work. But I am getting my monitor this weekend hopefully.

So here is what I have so far.





Needs:
-More fans (small ones)
-Bondo
-Wireless N Adapter
-Female VGA connector
-MORE DREMEL DISCS!!!
-SATA cables

What do I need to have to get a case done at a CNC shop?

Extremely well detailed pictures with measurements at all angles and sides.
Good luck

not pictures. schematics. totally different. fab shops will not work with pictures. i suggest talking to 64M320N3.

I think I'm just going to cut up my own case. And after this project is ready for paint, I'm getting started on another project

[PhookYu]

Do I need to screw the ground wires to where it was screwed down before? Or can I just cut those out? These are the ground wires that go to the motherboard of the monitor and the soundboard.

New problem!
So Ive done the VGA mod.

I've done everything it said to do. I made it so that it will go straight to VGA only. And when I connect it, there is no video and there is NO 4 red lights. Please help.

[samjc3]

you sure its wired right? screen hooked to power? (seems stupid, but its been known to happen)

is it possible the xbox isnt set to output like that (composite mode or something)
