Why don't you just buy a computer and put Linux on it? You're getting everything but the processor and ram here anyway... They make computer video cards you can hook up to the TV to get lousy quality video, if that's what you're looking for. I think a WAY more useful mod would be something that would turn my girlfriend's Gameboy Advance into a Linux-based PDA. All you really need for that is writable mass storage and some kind of keyboard. It's already got video, a pointing device, read-only storage, and sound!
