I want to run Linux on it. That would rule so much. Imagine:
"You have an Xbox!"
"Yes, this is Doorstop. It sits here forwarding data packets to three other computers and a PS2, and accepting packets and firing them off on the Internet. The most CPU-intensive task it's ever done is compile ipchains".

How much do Xboxes retail at these days?
