If like me you have a 360 core system with no hard drive, you’ll soon discover how much you need one (some definate classics in the XBOX live arcade that are worth a play), Obviously you can buy the MS external drive and plug it directly into the top of the XBOX, but what about installing one internally? sounds like a good mod to me!

If you are a bit handy with a soldering iron and have the skills to not burn your 360′s motherboard, I found a guide to installing an internal drive.

Word of warning though, this is not for the faint of heart, you run a high risk of turning your XBOX360 into a doorstop if you mess up the solering!

The article detailing what you need to do to get the hard drive connected to your 360 is here at the IVC WIKI

Once you have completed the cable install, you’ll need to find a suitable place inside the case, it has been suggested that directly above the DVD drive is the best place, but thats open to opinion, choose the place you think suits best.
