Priceless.

Actually, there are mod chips out for the GC now...

Something like this has been available for quite some time.. just not for the PC.. all you need is an XBox, a spare controller, and a little time. http://www.xbox-modchips.com/tutorials/xshok.htm Basically instead of rumbling, the controller sends out a small electric shock. Basically the same thing for those sadistic enough to want to try.

After reading the news about the Xbox being able to run OS X you may be asking yourself, "How can I do this as well, what do I need?"

Well, the answer to that question would be that you need to have a Xbox, obviously, and a way to run unsigned code.

In my experiences I have found that www.xbox-modchips.com provides quality tech suport, a good warranty, and overall great prices.

Right now the most Compatible chip in the market is the Xecuter 3 modchip. This can let you run the unsigned code required for a Mac OS X install.

In my opinion though, OS X needs a lot of proccessing power to run it's OS and requires a good bit of memory too, but the 733mhz proccessing power and the 64mb of ram that come with the Xbox may fall short behind on the minimal basis of running OS X on an Xbox.

Linux on the Xbox can do some great things such as, connect to your email server, browse the internet, run Linux apps, and even daisy chain several Xboxes together that are running Linux and make a 10,000 mhz machine. Linux on the Xbox has progressed very far, but how will Mac's OS X hold up like the current Xbox-linux Os's out today?
Only time will tell.
