You will need a hammer tiped screwdriver. But a hammer would also work.

You need Torx wrenches. Specifically a T10, T15, and T20. Hex wrenches will work if you don't have Torx wrenches, but they may strip the screws. If you don't have either (or don't know what they are), give up modding and pay for someone else to do it.

There is, I think, five screws on the bottom of the Xbox. Three or four are under the warrenty stickers.

Whatever... It has been two years since I last took my Xbox appart. It's still really easy to do. I mean, it's so easy that a retarded monkey could do it.

You just have to be sure that you don't damage the large cables, or anything else inside the Xbox for that matter. Oh, and make sure you not let solder drip into it... or solder to something you have no idea about...

There are modding FAQs if you need them. Xbox Scene is a good site.

No need to get feisty. He was simply trying to help you avoid breaking a rule. Discussion about modding is not allowed. He was only trying to help, so keep your calm.
