    Yes, you just need to open your case, remove everything, drill a few holes and put a PC in it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was done before.

        Can confirm. Had the OG XBOX (Still somewhere in a Box). I installed a modchip and Linux. That beast could practically run anything like a PC. I upgraded the HDD to about 200GB back then. You could just throw in a game and make a backup on your HDD. The Controllers were basically USB Controllers with a different connector. Good times. IMHO the OG XBOX was the pinnacle of moddable consoles. Everything started to decline when the consoles began to be online 24/7 and games started to be unplayable out of the box without TBs of updates… Oh, also you actually owned your disc back then.

          I still use my hacked original Xbox as my media server. Having to use FTP is annoying, but it still works great. It runs XBMC (before it became Kodi).

        Not with any pci-e expansion sockets. I’m not even sure it could address a proper pci-e GPU.
