Xbox 360 DVD Mod

[boxerorange]

Hey guys, I'm new to the 360 scene (bought my box today) and have been reading about modding it to play backups. I basically understand that you need to mod the DVD Drive in some fashion, but am not sure where to start. If at all possible, I would like AVOID cracking it open (but I'm pretty sure you have to). I just got one of the Elite's (yay for price drop to $299!)

That phrase "crack it open" sounds familiar......... Anyways...... there are tons of tuts out there.
Please read them all to understand. I have been reading all of them for months now and still have not flashed my boxes yet. read the tuts here and the ones from xbox-scene and 360mods.net. Oh yeah
don't come back here with a post like....omgwtf i fuxxrd my dvd drive....halp.....

Also, you MUST open your xbox to flash the drive to play backups.

Also(again), read my post in this thread:

treemty is the man in this area.. I was going to refure you to the1337group.com, bit it looks like they have shut down. you can get http://www.prestige-mods.com/ to do it but it cost like $95 bucks.

[treemty]

yeah, our server is down.the1337group.com) if you pm me, we charge $30 plus shipping to flash your drive( its $20 if you know how to take apart your xbox already) but that covers flashing, and if you want we can send you a backup of your drive keys.
we are the cheapest on the market

UPDATE!!!
the1337group is back up http://the1337group.com/shop/

Thanks for the help you guys, but I decided to return my Xbox as I didn't realize you had to open it...I thought there were mods you could do without opening it.
