Looking at selling a kit or two to anyone interested. If anyone is interested, or enough people are, I will list officially in the BST and link back here. Check my collection pics here in the thread.

Neon green....? Oh, I had to look at the pics to find what you meant. Yeah, that is a Falcon prototype, marked as prototype in back. The faceplate came with it so I left it on. That is a UK Launch Team faceplate.

As for the Halo 3 Kit, probably not. I mean every man has his price, so if the offer was grand enough... maybe. It's awful purdy to let go for just any price though. :love:

I have two white Jasper test kits, both with sidecars, I would be willing to part with right now. I have one from THQ with prototype builds of Homefront on it still.

There has been much discussion regarding "stress" kits. These are the XDK with cables coming out the top of them. I have seen the cables be referred to as "sidecar cables" which is understandable but leads collectors and potential buyers into thinking they someday can connect a development sidecar to these kits. This is not true. Not true in the sense that it would need some soldering and maybe prayer to get it to work. How you might ask? Here are some pics to help us out.

This is a story about three kits that look generally the same.
WP_20140408_018_zps73b23d9f.jpg

From left to right: Zephyr Demo Kit, Falcon Stress Kit, Zephyr Test Kit (Sidecar removed for purposes of pics)

The demo kit is used for trade shows, in-house testing and other wise looks stock retain with exception of a small sticker on back which states "DEMO KIT". But otherwise it just says Xbox 360 Console on back with a normal serial number. Does not say "XDK" on back.
WP_20140408_019_zps48280395.jpg

The "stress kit" simply has nothing identifiable on the back as being anything special. If it wasn't for the stress cables coming out the top, no one would know it's not a retail console. (And yes, for those who notice this is one of the rare ones with the upside down "A/V" and "HDMI" in the molded plastic.)

The Test kit can have a sidecar on the top of it and says "XDK" on back
WP_20140408_021_zps0244b38e.jpg


Now for the motherboard pics. So while the stress kits and demo kits have development ports, they lack the power port for the sidecar. You will also notice the stress kits and demo kits are identical motherboards, no difference (beside the revision difference between a Zephyr and Falcon in this example). From my understanding, stress kits are just demo kits used for in-house testing that are pulled off the production line.

Top- Test Kit, Left-Stress Kit, Right-Demo Kit

Demo Kit Motherboard Pics (Zephyr). *Notice the lack of the enlarged sidecar hole near HDD port in the shell.

Notice the red arrow I put in the pic to point out the lack of the sidecar power port.

Stress Kit Motherboard Pics (Falcon) *Notice the cables coming off the board out the top of the kit. Most refer to them as sidecar cables. While the same cables are used in a sidecar, these connect to a Lamprey board used for NAND programming.
WP_20140408_013_zps79dcdd0c.jpg

WP_20140408_016_zps8aa389b7.jpg

Again, no sidecar power port.

XDK Test Kit (Zephyr), Sidecar removed for pics *Notice enlarged sidecar hole near HDD port in shell
WP_20140408_014_zps9906fafd.jpg

WP_20140408_017_zps53315af5.jpg

And this time, notice the presence of the Sidecar power port.

So now is the question of soldering in one on your own. Well, I haven't a clue if it's feasible. I am not certain if fuses would blow given the extra draw on the motherboard that was not intended.

I just wanted to take the time with visuals to point out the differences.
