This does sound interesting. How much should I expect to fork out? Seems like about $100 for an Xbox + $50 for a mod chip, then some solder time or about $250 for a modded system and whatever I want to pay for a bigger hard drive yah? How does the xbmc handle power down? Just punch the power button? Does it support a remote? Couldn't really tell from the xbmc site (although I haven't spent a ton of time reading it yet :P) Do I need to buy some kind of DVD kit for the xbox? I do remember seeing a bunch of JP1 talk there. Something else I would have to learn... Sorry to keep this OT on the list but seems there are a couple of people interested :) And again, I want this to store a pile of Divx encode DVD movies and play them. If the Xbox still functions as an Xbox then BONUS! Thanks again everyone! Eric
