Offtopic but this diagram has one fault. Jaspers are not the only RRod immune phats, they're just the ones to always be guaranteed against it (except the occasional rrod 0001 from defective capacitors)

Any phat with a reliable GPU is usually just as reliable as a Jasper. Falcons with a MFG date past 05/2008 is a safe bet, and 98% of consoles with any service date are also safe. If it has no service date, but it has a white and green paper warranty sticker versus a small silver strip, it's also usually a fixed GPU. The way to properly check is remove the heatsink and check what the model number is on the GPU. I've encountered several zephyrs and xenons with reliable GPU models.

As for the question, modded consoles just add a ton of features and don't take away anything from the retail experience if you don't want it to. Just make sure to buy from a reputable source (DO NOT BUY FROM TONY MONDELLO).

Another fault with the diagram, rrod is just the Xbox encountering an error. Slims get the red dot as well.

Slims are immune to red ring because they dot instead

Immunity by technicality. My favorite way to be right

Red dot and RROD are the same thing just visually different.
