Sounds like the cap did not leak and that is GREAT news!!! An opened Xbox is a fun Xbox ancient Chinese prophecy says.
Yes, the board was absolutely immaculate thankfully! I don't know if use causes it to leak more? It's not like it needs it to function anyway.
To me there's almost something sad about an unused console, so didn't want to never open it.

A boxed, sealed console is a sad console IMHO. They're made to play, and have fun with. 😀 I would've.
Incidentally I put my Xbox on my KVM, I'm using a cheap ($5 on Ebay) component cable to output 720p or 480p and upscaling that to 1280x1024 VGA with an HD Box Pro. It looks fantastic.
Sounds like we're in agreement. I have one of those monster component cables, but if the cheaper ones are OK, I'd seriously consider selling mine.
Unfortunately I need to mod my console to get proper 480p output 🙁
