fayko, no offence intended. I made that statment to try and detur people from recomending such mods. I never ment to accuse you of anything, I was trying to keep your post open. chances are if I had not said what I did, this thread would be closed already. I am very sorry, it was not ment the way you took it.
like max said, cooling mods give you that warm fuzzy feeling, that you have prevented the RROD. lighting mods look so cool in a cut in window. some of the other guys are working on a red bull theamed xbox, painted to the red bull logo, and letters cut out and back lit. I have heard of people adding a 300gig laptop hard drive, and I have seen ben heck mak the 360 into a portable laptop!!! the sky is the limit for hardware mods.
as for software, I have heard of an xbox running linux, and such, but never seen it done
