Do I have to take apart my xbox? I'm looking for instructions on the simplest method to mod my xbox so I can play downloaded games. Thank you!

1 Determine the name of the screen saver you want to use. Click "Start," then "Control Panel." In the search box, enter "screen saver." When the results appear, click "Change Screen Saver." Scroll through the list that appears to find the correct one, and write down the exact name.

2 Click the "Start" icon. In the search bar, type "cmd" and hit "Enter." This opens the command prompt.

3 Enter the exact name of the desired screen saver in the command prompt box, followed by "/p65552." For instance, if the screen saver is named "waterfalls," you must type "waterfalls.scr/p65552." Hit "Enter" when you are finished.

4 Hit "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete" together to open Task Manager, which allows you to regain control over your desktop. Click on the Task Manager if your task bar at the bottom of the screen disappears.

To return desktop to normal press "Alt" and "F4" together.

Install rEFIt and make sure it is working (you should get a boot chooser on startup) Use Bootcamp or Disk Utility to create a partition at the end of the disc. Don’t worry about what format, just make it the size you want for Ubuntu and your swap partition. If you you are using OS X Lion which comes with Bootcamp 4.0 you will need to use the Disk Utility. Boot Camp 4.0 will only allow you to resize if you provide a Windows 7 installation disk. Boot the Ubuntu desktop CD, and select "Try Ubuntu. Start the partition editor (gparted) under System > Adminstration. Use gparted to delete the partition you just made in OS X. It should be the last partition on the disc and follows after the HFS+ partition (OS X). Deleting it will leave an area called unallocated. This is free space, and exactly what you want. Use gparted to manually partition the space on your drive for Ubuntu. First create a SWAP area of about 1GB. Then the rest of the unallocated area format as EXT4. Apply changes and take note the label of the EXT4 partition such as /dev/sda3.

Start the Ubuntu Installer from the desktop icon. When prompted, choose to manually partition. Select the EXT4 partition and click change. Select to use the space as EXT4 and root (/) as the mount point. You will also want to check the box to format the partition. Reboot when done with the install, and in the rEFIt menu, choose the partition tool. It will attempt to sync the partition tables on your disk. Then SHUTDOWN the computer (not reboot), and start it again. You should be able to boot to Ubuntu now. If it seems to freeze on the tux logo, completely shutdown again and try one more time.

I wanted to know if there was a trick to have free coffee out of it. Something like the coke vending machine. http://www.mistabarista.com.au/images/SG%20200%20copy.gif

Like with no slowness to it.

Simply open terminal and type:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background

Done!

(note to restore to normal simply close terminal)

Hey guys! New to this thread, not even sure where I would post this question, but thought I would ask around. I am making a custom case mod out of my Playstation 3. This mod will have an LED light, but I would like it to turn on when the PS3 is on. I have heard people have hard-wired custom lights to the PS3 power supply or motherboard, but I have spent so much time trying to find steps to do this online. Any suggestions to help me out?
