		- [SATA to IDE adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOJNGC2/): $18
	- For SD cards:
		- [SD card to IDE adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G29TZPS): $18
- Change out Xbox "jewel" for something that looks nicer.
- We'll need to dump the `EEPROM` chip to get the password for the drives:

	- [Backing up your EEPROM/Dashboard](https://www.xbox-scene.info/tutorials/article/12-backing-up-your-eepromdashboard/)

### Parts needed
