ok, i ´m going to buy a X-Box, moded with EvoX 2.5.....

1. EvoX 2.5: is this mod-chip ok or should i look for another chip?
2. When i´ve got my X-Box i´d like to install a bigger HD. Can i use a normal Pc HD? Is installation similar to PC installation?
3. I have no DVD Burner, so i´have to use rips... or is there a way to download the DVD and then copy it to the HD and play it from there?

thanks for your help!
