I won't buy a new xbox. In fact this whole project tees off Microsoft
to the extent that they continually alter the design of the Xbox to
prevent exploits like this, so old boxes are better. The TV-out card is
an option with a tiny motherboard, but the xbox actually has decent
components and the case is way better than those CPUs people are
throwing into lunch boxes. Besides, it's a cheap second computer that
you can take places to demo linux (it can run Mandrake and Debian).
C'mon, you know you want one...
