Runs like a charm, and can browse the internet, run programs, etc. Has the Optical Audio Out, can use the DVI Video output, etc. Just have to upgrade the ram and I will be good.
That was plan C, I had asked a Mac fan and he advised against it.
I've now got my Xbox setup as a media center, and have to say that I am very impressed. For $399 (minus some nice discounts) I've got a decent DVD player with media center. Works like a charm.
