Post by **qkyqky** » Mon May 11, 2009 11:05 am

i want to buy an arcade to get started with flashing. brand new from store . ive heard i should get the one with a 175W PS as they have the falcon chipset or somet. is that true ? also how do i know if the console has the HDMI slot ? and will i get a HDMI cable or component cable with it ? Can i put a 20 gig Hard drive in after ? ( i dont think il need that for sometime and thats the reason why idont want to buy the premium console.

If you look on game and other sites it will tell you what you get when you buy the comp normaly the arcade systems come with only basic red-whit-yellow phono with scart adapter. Yeah you can add a hdd any time you want any 360 hard drive will fit.

and all new consoles will have the liteon drive ? also for a person who not flashed 360s before is it hard to flash a liteon ? what are the chances of bricking ?

I have seen a few with Benq's but I would wager my money that you would get a lite-on drive. As for how easy it is to flash, depends on if you have the right stuff as far as equipment is concerned. It can be easy or it can be very difficult. I know this isn't a clear answer on this, but I have no way to know what you've got to flash with.

Actually that makes things quite clear ... so does any parts in my computer affect the flashing ? such as what hardware i have ? like it makes it harder or easier with specific hardware ?

The new Jaspers will have the 150W power supply.... 12V rated /12.1A with a new connector that is not backwards compatible.

The Falcon will have the 175W power supply.

Your gonna want the new Jasper. IMHO
