Original Xbox as a PC?

[yix]

I want to transform my unused Xbox into a PC or something like that. The Xbox is very suitable for use as a multi-purpose platform since it has standard components, including DVD drives from Philips, Samsung and Thompson, an 8 GB Seagate hard drive, a 733 MHz Pentium III, an NVIDIA graphics processor and a simply-designed motherboard.

I just don't know where to go from there...

If you mod it, you can install Linux on it. In my opinion, its mainly just something neat to do, not a computer you would use every day. Installing XBMC on it would probably be more useful.

These days, an xbox used as anything other than an xbox is basically worthless.

Have another gander at those specs, and remember that it also has 64mb ram.

You can install linux on it, however all of the projects related to that are now defunct. There is seriously nothing happening in the scene anymore.

Spend your $40 on a raspie instead.

*continues chugging away at xbox related projects regardless of the knowledge that it's completely futile*
