I've had my 360 for 5 years now. It never gave me any issues, and it's been a faithful servant over the years. It's DVD ROM died about a year ago and I had it replaced, and around June it started its issues again. So I decided to hell with this, and lined it up for a cheap sale. Got me an XBOX 360 Slim in the meanwhile and transferred all my content. When the offer came in (very low offer due to the drive not working) I felt reluctant to let it go. I mean it's what got me to love console gaming. It's just part of me... I don't want to sell it.
It was then that I decided to keep the XBOX and rather convert it into a decent home theater PC. After playing around with Google translate, I came up with Foedus. Basically means compact. Even if it doesn't, I like the name.
A (very bad quality cellphone) pic of the XBOX:
I'm still undecided on the hardware for the PC, but I don't want it to be a slouch. This is the list I have so far:
I'll probably end up running Windows Media Center as an OS but I'm open to suggestions (so any linux distro which will be great for this will be considered)
That's all for now. Let me know what you guys think.
