Question MOD Installers in NorCal/Bay Area

With tomorrow's price drop for XBox, I'm thinking about picking up a couple and having them mod'd. Can anyone suggest services that are in the Bay Area, CA?

I considered doing it myself; I do some middle-high end electronics for work, but I'm unsure. There is a no-solder "pogo" (?) for the x2.3 lite, correct? And just any EIDE HDD will work?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

if you havent done it before it is kinda tricky putting in the chip is the easiest part the hard part is getting the bios for the chip getting the dashboard for the xbox and also connecting the xbox to your computer via a network interface card and an ftp program any other ?'s

I read on IGN (and seen quoted from Wall Street Journal?) that the price will drop to $149. IGN says tomorrow.

Talking Haha! At the stroke of midnight...

At the stroke of midnight, Best Buy sent me an e-mail "X-BOX is NOW $149.95!"

Hmmm. They're as excited as I am....
