There seems to be alot more media coverage of the xbox now than ever due to Microsoft's plans to bring the xbox to the living room as more than a console.

Of some interest…
Hackers have modified an estimated 150,000 of the 9 million Xboxes Microsoft has sold worldwide to turn them into PCs that would normally cost $800 or more. What it takes:
A new Xbox, with 733-megahertz processor, custom graphics
chip, 8-gigabyte hard drive: $180
A keyboard and mouse, with adapters: $35 – If you get the usb adapter
A modified start-up chip: $21
120-gigabyte hard drive: $120 – do you really need this size hard drive?
Linux or other free software: $0
Total: $336
