Raydi, I HIGHLY recommend you to bypass the Imod 2 kit and go to Badflash instead. I have nothing against the Imod 2, except that it seems they have so many orders and you may have to wait until your order is processed. Badflash makes great custom IDE cables, which you'll need one of, in addition to pre-flashed BIOS chips, which you might consider. You can flash it yourself, but if it gets dorked up you'll still need to get one of these so you might want to just order one anyhow. Badflash shipped my cable and chip quickly, about 2 weeks from my original order, and that was even with my personal check. Make the hard drive brackets yourself. I made mine from miniblind hardware, and my 9mm 10gig hard drive is mounted to the original heatsink standoffs. I went to the local electronic parts store and for $9 bought a 5V fan for cooling to replace the bulky and inefficient heatsink.
Bottom line is, you don't need the IMOD-2 kit to 'hack' your IO. | |
