Calvin, Please visit http://www.xbox-linux.org/
There is FAQ which discusses about various xbox version numbers. I think anything older box (pre 2003) is required. And version 1.6 is a no-no. It also tells how to do a software mod and a hardware mod. I am thinking to get xbox as frontend. I also found that the haupagge (sp?) media MVP also has good potential for a front end. Though its limited by its memory (16mb). It has h/w mpeg decoder and a nice remote. Visit http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/idx.php?pg=main for more information. I just bought it, but still struggling to get my backend running (HDTV card was little flaky, getting a replacement soon).
