And for those of you who ask "Why?" I say "Why not?" Besides, it's a cheap alternative to a computer ($199, minus the cost of keyboard, mouse, internet and the man hours required to modify the beast), and will be guarenteed a user base of games for years to come, similar to the DC game community, long after the Xbox meets it's long demise.

And besides, the chipset is Wintel (which, since it's specific and not variable like cheap computers with windows specific stuff, can probably be brute forced hacked) and thus you can probably run most x86 software and games on it. He even has Tux racer running (albet at 1 fps) so far.

I could buy a pc to run linux even better than an xbox for even cheaper than the xbox though.
