And I say that as a fellow nerd - no disrespect at all!
As you can see from my pathetic sidebar, I'm a newbie. A newb. A noob. A n00b. But I'm not a moron. I read the rules. :cool2:
I'm a grown man, with a job, a wife, and a mortgage. I also collect electronics, various DIY projects, and own more screwdrivers than a typical hardware store. I also have a soldering iron and know how to use it. In fact, I now realize it's a crap one I bought at Radio Shack and need a better one (especially if I want to work with some of TX's products).
My biggest Xbox 360 achievement to date is fixing my old RROD'd Phat (Falcon). I did it the "right" way, with a heat gun, good quality thermal paste, replaced the X-clamps, etc. Works nice. My second-biggest achievement was buying a $13.00 refurbished wifi router, flashing it with DD-WRT, and setting it up as a wifi bridge for my old wifi-not-included Phat. I'm running out of inputs on the TV at this point.
Now I need to ask for some help on what exactly I need to buy in order to do what I want to do next, but I'll ask that elsewhere. And I'll try not to noob it up.
Rock on.
