If have finished a myspace page dedicated to the yet unnamed x0xb0xm0d. Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/x0xb0xmod
I will post updates there as I go. I have finished the final (3) prototypes and everything is working great. I made a few final changes and just ordered the first batch of parts. I will be selling it as a kit but you will also have the option to send in your b0x to be fitted. Be sure to check out all the audio and videos demos on the myspace page where you can watch the embedded audio and video or download high bitrate versions.

the reason not to place the LED's yet is because with the mod fitted the x0xb0x mainboard is 1/8" further away from the front panel - so the LED's would also be set back 1/8" if fitted with the normal standoffs in the x0xb0x kit. This may or may not be a problem depending on the LED's used and how you placed them. The mod kit comes with new standoffs. The reason not to place IC12 is because it will be socketed.
I will be updating the page with more information like this as I go.

ok then... I guess the easiest and most efficient use of my time would be to build the second x0xb0x that sitting here in a box... and add/use the mod on that one.
I did socket all my IC's on the first x0xb0x I built... and like that approach. Is it still possible to have all the IC's in sockets when I build the second one with the mod as well?

yes you can socket all the IC's if you want and it won't get in the way
Nice mod.....nice sounds........but.....$480 U.S. ?!?!?!?!?
Could you explain that???
It's quite simple really. Low volume + custom parts + obsolete parts. When you see the BOM you'll have a better idea. I'll be posting it sometime in the near future as part of the build instructions. It's definitely not for everyone but that's the way it is.
Sweet. I am glad to see it come together. I was curious if it might be at all possible to break up the payment into two or three months time. Obviously, I wouldn't want the kit shipped until it is paid in full (and rightly so), but being of the college-age income level puts a significant strain on my resources and paying it all up front is a little much for me to handle.
If you feel that it is necessary, please feel free to PM your response.
Last time I spoke to bcbox the kit release of the mod was planned for sometime in the new year (2008) and there is a limited number that are being initially set up, and these are all spoken for. This was the wait list and I'm sure it's currently full now so... I think the best we can all do is just wait and see how things turn out after the first run of kits eventually reach those in the public
