Modding an XBox into an XBox Media Center

[toner87]

If anyone has a first gen Xbox lying around and it's not pulling its weight or it's just collecting dust (like mine was) you can modify it connect it to your home network and use it as a Media Center and stream your MP3s, videos and pictures through it and your home stereo system.

I did this this past weekend and it was pretty easy, though it took me more than 30 minutes!

Here are the details:

Now I can sit on my couch and use the XBox to access my iTunes library, watch slide shows of my digital pictures and even stream videos I've downloaded. And the Xbox will still play games and DVD's like normal.

Definitely worth the effort.
