Making the Xbox a computer

Meck · 01-23-2004, 11:05 AM

I got a xbox for my birthday and have barely used it. Just as a DVD player. is it possible that i can change it into a computer. i.e. use the graphics card and the hard drive..... turn it into some thing more useful,.

what you didnt use your xbox you got to go to the doctors keep as is ok i know how you can but its stupid get halo or need for speed underground. If you do want to change it go in your browser and look up linux for xbox kit they got them were i saw them they included linux a new HDD a keyboard mouse and a few others and you can still use your xbox for games im pretty sure.

Ok it kind of looks complicated, cause i don't want to spend money buying the game. I don't live in the US and there is no place here to rent games. Is windows a better option.... is it easier to install.
