360 HTPC MOD VideoAlthough it doesn't look too fancy, it does have a purpose, and I would love to have something like this. This is a modded/jtagged system, 2tb hard drive, water cooled, internal hd-dvd, and internal wifi.
The 360, just like the PS3, is notorious for overheating. So, some people put them in HTPC or PC cases for no other reason than to have extra cooling, to give the 360 more life.
The 360 itself really is a home theater PC, although its functions are limited vs a true PC. It has network video streaming, hulu plus, and netflix streaming, windows media connectivity, along with probably a few other streaming features. So, it's fitting to add a 360 to a HTPC case.
To me, being able to have the hd-dvd player as an internal mod would be the cool factor alone. It wouldn't have to be modded/jtagged, to do copied games and such, although adding a 2tb hard drive does sound cool.
