Xbox Manufacturing Process Pictures

[hey69]

Michael Steil of Team Xbox-Linux posted a new article explaining the Xbox Manufacturing Process. The pictures used have been posted long time ago already, but Xbox-Linux included some interesting comments/info next to some pictures explaining the Xbox manufacturing process and how the factory operates:

The purpose of this page is to comment and explain what can be seen on these pictures. The pictures have obviously been taken at the Flextronics factory in Hungary, which produced 1.0 Xboxes from October 2001 to April 2002.
This is the factury in Sarvar/Hungary, which manufactured everything except for the actual board logic, which had been made in the Zalaegerszeg factory. The TSOP has probably already been flashed at Zalaegerszeg; but the EEPROM will be written by XMTAXBOX during hard disk duplication.

There are at least these four rooms:
* case manufacturing
* four assembly lines
* hard disk duplication
* component storage

Why aren't they wearing nets on their heads?

I don't want to see strains of someone else's hair on my system.

Hmm, and some of them are not wearing gloves

They can send me all the "defective" ones that have been in contact with humans or picked up a stray piece of hair.

That's awesome. So much of it is by hand, I'd have thought it was all done by machine. Makes you wonder how they're going to pump out 5 million of the things by the end of the year.

you're right!

WTH...

and they're touching chipsets and stuff...

I pray that I won't get a 360 with hair coming out of the drive tray with fingerprints all over the machine...

That'd be ok by for me (not the hair bit though)... It would be gross to see someone's packed lunch all over my X360 though!!

totally true

like when you decide to open up your 360 to see bits and piece of chips and cookie crumbs

or the 3-month old sandwich someone misplaced during the assembly.
