    Hi guys, was just wondering where I'd get the Kinnect power supply? Or if anyone has a new Slim and doesn't need theirs and would like to sell it! :)
    Also, where is the best place to get the hard drive casing for the slim that I can put the HD from my Phat into?
    Thanks!

    1) Search donedeal/adverts.ie for Kinect Power Supplies. You can probably get cheap ones off ebay by now too. Or call Microsoft Xbox Support and ask them to sell you one, I know they sell power supplies for the xbox at €25 a pop.

    2) DealExtreme.com for the case for the slim. Be careful though, there are two HDD descriptors in the Slim hard drive firmware (as noted in the HDDHackr changelog) while the old xbox hard drives only have 1 descriptor. I don't know if this might raise any eyebrows with MS when your slim starts reporting just the 1 descriptor

    Thanks for that. Didn't know that about the descriptor. Pain in the ass, that'd mean I have to buy a new HD for my slim and get the data transferred.

    I just listed it as a possible concern, if you Google it I'm sure you'll find lots of people who just bought the enclosure off DX or some other site and are happily playing away :)
