Or, you can route it through a laptop, and there "may" be a hack for the Linksys WRT54G wireless router to act as a repeater for it. Gotta look into that.

i don't know if this is too late or not but here is an artical for hacking the wrt54g wifi router to work as a adapter

i already have a wrt54g router, however, i would need another to use as the AP. But i was looking into other dongles to use internally for my 360 laptop project. thanks for the info though. i might be able to use it in iraq.

Buy a new router, cheaper than a 360 wireless adaptor.

Also, the WRT54G has hardly anything inside it, and it is very thin. Easy to fit inside a 360 laptop.

the problem with that is it will not fit into my current setup. i would need a new box for the 360. its a good idea, but i just dont have the room.

Would there be room if you knocked down some of those caps like Ben did?

i seriously doubt it. i barely have room for the amp board.

Okay, here's my ingenious idea.
Put it in the power brick.
You'll need to make or find a bigger brick, but that's not hard.

wouldn't the power brick have too much of a magnetic field and interfere with the wireless router?

Oh.
Um.
It might.
Lead shielding?

I have a big power brick next to a WiFi router.

No effect, from what I can tell. :/

But is it INSIDE the power brick?

This is pretty easy to test, and I think it's worth a try if simply CAN'T fit something else in your case, even if it's wafer thin.

well after a holiday hiatus i am picking up and trying to finish my project. i have staff duty on saturday so i will getting major work done then. hopefully i will finish this thing before the vehicles get air loaded so i can pack it for iraq. wish me luck.

udder failure....

that describes saturday. i had the rrod before i tried to fix it, so i went from the "fix", bolts and washers, back to the x clamp. unfortunately, that didnt work. i am getting error code 0022, cpu or tsop failure. no idea how to fix this. i tried cleaning it and putting new thermal paste on it, but i have no clue what could have caused this. the xbox 360 worked just fine inside the box, it did this after the "mod". any suggestions?

mmm u did the clamp fix, there is a good few ways to do that one, there is a good few vids on yourutbe of different ways to do it, also u could get better pads for the bottom of the mobo, where the 4 chips are located, there is packs for that, what else,

i also found this on a forum

"i fixed a 0020 last week, going to fix another in a few hours
Error means there is a Bridge under the GPU/CPR/RAM, so i heat gunned the RAM area and it fixed it instantly, i had to heat gun 2 times as the first time it didn't work...
0022 can be either CPU/GPU the error code is not specific to the GPU..."

and apparently disconecting the dvd rom boots the box, in some cases,
