i have a modded xbxo - i mostly use it for shutting my g/f up by getting some films on it that are "girly" in nature and then lending her the xbox with the films on the hard drive.

it is handy as a media center pc - may have to get a new fan for it as id like a more silent one may get one from soadvanced.com.

the emulators are niffty as well and waste away a boring sunday full of eastenders repeats.

the ability to stream files off any pc is handy.

the ability to backup games is also good - so if im going away for a weekend i could copy all my games to my hard drive and go. no need for the dvd's. havnt tried making an iso from them files and burning my own backups - may look into that.

all in all im impressed - but only with the media featires the games are boring.
