Xbox Original Crystal v1.6 Xecuter 3 Edition
This listing is for a Refurbished Crystal Console only. Have a look through the listed options below to customise the build to your own required specifications.
What’s included in the base price?
Xecuter 3 Chip installed on a pin header along with the help of an LPC Rebuild PCB. Chip will be running the latest version of PrometheOS and will contain up to 4 bios choices including Cerbios.
Xecuter Bank Switch on the front of the console allows the different selection of bios setups. It also shows HDD and LAN activity with flashing LEDs
Xbox has been fully stripped and cleaned.
This includes removal of thermal paste from both the CPU and GPU along with both heat sinks. New Arctic MX-5 Thermal Paste has then been applied to aid with lower operating temperatures.
The motherboard has been cleaned and wiped down with isopropyl alcohol.
The clock capacitor has been removed as these are renowned for leaking (except for v1.6 consoles). Any leakage has also been cleaned up to prevent any corrosion to the motherboard.
The CPU capacitors have also been replaced. These are known to leak over time on certain models. So for peace of mind these have been replaced.
The motherboard has been checked for any possible trace rot from leaking capacitors and has been repaired if required.
The DVD drive has been stripped and cleaned. The drive belt has also been replaced to prevent the drawer sticking.
Hard drive upgraded to a Low Usage Refurbished 2TB 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda from the standard 8GB via IDE/SATA adaptor.
A 2TB HDD can store on average 700+ Xbox games along with around 30 separate Emulators, Homebrew and PC Ports.
Please ask for further details.
Upgraded 80 wire rounded IDE cable. This is to assist with faster loading times from the upgraded hard drive. This cable comes in a variety of colours as can be seen through the lid of the console with the shielding removed.
I’m using the rounded cable now as it seems more durable than the upgraded flat yellow cable I’ve used previously. If you decide on a DVD Delete option then the cable can be changed to a black cable with only two connectors which is more subtle as the third connector isn’t required due to the DVD drive being removed.
NEW: Xbox now comes with an upgraded IDE/SATA adaptor. This is far superior than the green boards used by others. I have upgraded the capacitors to polymer types along with adding resistors to enable faster loading times.
Upgraded power LED button. The board for this is black with custom red wiring. this can be seen through the crystal case and matches in misery with the Xecuter 3 Bank Switches. This gives a brighter cleaner light and is set to blue as default.
Power Cable Supplied
Genuine Refurbished Xbox Crystal S Controller is included. This will be stripped and deep cleaned. Then it will have replacement thumbsticks. A new cable will be soldered to the controller board if required.
HDMI Adaptor is included
Please ask me about upgrading to a 3TB or 4TB Barracuda Hard Drive and beyond. With the help of CERBIOS the latest BIOS for Xbox then upgrades upto 16TB are now possible.
Feel free to ask for more photos or information.
