60GB Starter Pack


Recommended Posts

It's really not complicated (Hell, AudioBoxer can do it! =P), but it is entirely your choice.

Yeah it's not really complicated if you have basic DOS/Computer skills.

Just take your time and do it, there really isn't anything that can go wrong. I accidentally flashed the wrong SATA drive in my PC at first, but the program you use makes a backup. Safest thing is just to unplug all your hard drives apart from the 120GB one when you're flashing it in DOS.

That's what I'll do. Going to look for some detailed guides soon.

Oh there are... if you're willing to part with 30-50+shipping! :rolleyes:

Actually the price those transfer kits are going on ebay is worth keeping in mind. If you already have a 20GB drive then it could be a pain to either call MS up to organise a free kit or alternatively to get one on ebay costs a bit if you were thinking of getting the 60GB drive. The alternative may be to pay the extra for the 120GB drive and then sell both the existing 20GB drive and the transfer kit. You could make back over half the cost of the 120GB drive doing so I imagine. Hell, the money you make from selling the transfer kit alone may actually cover the cost of stepping up from the 60GB drive to the 120GB one.

Might be a cheap way for 20GB drive owners to upgrade anyway and I'm glad the ebay prices were mentioned as I just found mine so I'll list it today some time. If I get close to the $50AU they are going for and taking into account what I sold my 20GB drive for, ultimately it was cheaper to just buy the MS 120GB drive and sell the 20GB and kit than it was to buy a cheaper standalone WD drive to use/mod in.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
