Alright, i have 2 questions.
1: Does anyone know exactly what codecs the xbox 360 uses to play video because i'm going to install another 2.5"HDD inside the box for videos and music.
2: What colour paint do you guys recommend i should paint the beast. I was thinking of maybe Ferrari Red and putting a Ferreri emblem in the corner of it, or maybe some sort of Halo colour/Motif?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry man, no chance of playing video off of the hard drive. The only way I've found is to stream it from a Media Center PC, or burn it to a disk and play it (as a dvd disk). I'm going to experiment tonight with burning other formats to disk, just to check it out. _________________________________________________________

If your any good with an airbrush...you should paint it flat black with a ghost red/orange/yellow flame job. Makes sence due to the fact that they are all ready to burst into flames anyway. _________________________________________________________ Xbox 360 #2

I've always been partial to blue. I'd love to find someone that could paint my case to match the "hot rod" faceplate. I just don't think I could go without the 360 for long enough to do the painting though .
For reference, here's the faceplate I'm talking about:
