well the xbox is basically just a pc. It has a motherboard, processor, hard drive, video card, all the stuff a normal pc has. The hard drive that comes with it is 8 gigs I think and that would only be able to hold like 3 or 4 games so that is why you switch it out for an 80 gig. Also because of the bios that is in it an 80 gig is the biggest you can go and still have it run properly without more modifications. The mod chip should be easy enough to get, do a search on the internet. I think they are about $50 and just plug in.
now you also need a pc to copy the games but I'm assuming you have one if you are on here all the time. I will have to ask my friend if you need specifics on this part but all you do is connect the xbox to the pc with an ethernet cable and FTP the games on to the hard drive in the xbox. if you have enough games to fill up the hard drive you can store some on your pc and just move them over when you want to play them.
