I bought an XBox two weeks ago for XBMC, and it's fantastic.

It requires that the lid be removed and some wires be soldered under the motherboard (or, in my case, shoved into the main power connector and taped in place), which is not massively hard to do. (Having said that, the model I bought integrates with a particular brand of modchip, and may not work with "softmod" XBoxes... I don't know enough about it to say for sure!)
