[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 387657, member: 84335"] original xbox will do this fine because u can run xbmc on it. there's a few posts around about running linux on the 360 but I havent seen anything about a 'mainstream' distro like you can get for some other consoles. (doesnt mean it cant be done though!) you can probably pick up an xbox 1 for about $50 which would be fine for SD video (1 and 2 cd xvid dvdrips etc ) but wont play high def (720p/1080p/1080i). To do this you need an xbox and a copy of mechassault. You then use your pc with your xbox to 'soft mod' it. From there you can whack xbmc onto it. There's about a million guides on the net about how to do this. Its not difficult. A second option would be to pick up a 2 or 3 ghz pentium 4 with 1gb ram and just whack xp and xbmc on it (or MP if you prefer). Can probably be done for not much over $100. MCE remote and ir receiver is about $10-20. Fine for SD but to do 720p/1080p/1080i would need beefier hardware.
