I believe you can do a "soft mod" these days to the original Xbox
and install Linux on it or whatever you wish.  I have (3) original Xboxs
that are all modded with mod-chips.  They are the cheapest media centers
around.  I bought a few of them for $40 used.  Great unless you become a HD
snob like me and can't watch anything unless it is 720-1080p.

They all ran XBMC - one for each main TV, and also could play games.  I
mainly used it for XBMC. I have since switched over to XBMC under Ubuntu
(XBMC Live) on (2) ASRock Ion 300 systems. I can't say enough good stuff
about XBMC.
