Buying a used xbox 360

So my brother got a 4gb kinetic 360 and wants to get rid of his older, 60gb non-HDMI 360. For NZ$180 I'm getting the console, 2 controllers, and cables with Halo 3. I want to get this shit hacked up ASAP. It's never had RROD, apparently, and it's never been on Live ever. Need some experienced peoples to give recommendations and links.

I want to be able to run games off an external hard drive.

 

Not sure what that is in USD

 

It doesn't matter, I ended up working everything out on my own.

 

Why bother posting?

Did you get everything sorted since that seems expensive.

I wouldn't personally pay £87.76. (Conversion) for a non hdmi

 

It's HDMI, it's also jtaggable. I didn't realise he sold his first 360 a few years ago.

 

All xbox are jtaggable if I remember correctly.

£80 odd is still quite expensive but I suppose they been discountinued.

 

Well, they need to have a certain dashboard version or below.
