from somebody that has been doing this for years, its not worth the time and money anymore to reball, its hard work and takes a lot of time, you should really think it through really good before you invest the money!

I say if you can do enough xbox's to get your money back then you have a free reflow station at the least. Then you can start working on those shitty HP laptops that need their video chips reballed. People charge $100 for that!
