With exception of the Mister, all consoles have either been modded or repaired. Bonus, everything is automated through Home Assistant so it will turn on the TV, switch inputs, and turn on the console, all via voiced controlled.

Oh wow I think that level of modding is way beyond my means.
You don't need to hardmod it to be able to play backups. There's some softmod methods that work well and removing the clock capacitor that has a habit of leaking and eating through the board is as easy as opening up the console and wiggling it out. You don't need to replace it on most models.
Whole process can be done in an afternoon. I'd check out MrMario2011's video to see how challenging it is though to get a feel for it
Well wanting an OG Xbox is a good motivation to learn! I got into this hobby because I wanted an HDMI mod for the N64 but didn't want to pay over $600 for a premodded one.
