Soldering wires to my xbox

So let's see... "the right adjustments" to do everything a computer does. Let's see... you need a mod chip ($50), a keyboard and mouse ($100), a monitor ($100 at best if you don't have one), hardware enhancements for a dial-up modem, USB, and Firewire (at least $200), an OS other than the xBox's Windows CE (let's say another $100), and you're up to $600. In the meantime, you have all these PCs (all right, so they are portables, big deal) with an 800MHz or faster CPU, a bigger Hard Drive, USB ports, an internal modem and ethernet, more RAM, and a DVD-ROM... for less than $600. My take on all this: There are plenty of other better computers out there.

Ok the mod chip was $30, use your TV for a monitor, don't need dial-up if you have broadband, you can use the controller that comes with or the controller ports are already usb they're just shaped differently you can buy a converter cable for $5, so then you can get a cheap keyboard and mouse, oh and the OS is free. I'm not saying that I would use it as my main computer because I have a perfectly good imac. The only reason was that I said that it can do everything a PC can was to show that it is crippled just as HorrorTaxi wrote. It can do many more things then Microsoft will let it do.
