XBox Can Now Be A Mini Rack Mount Server

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday September 9, 2004 @10:35PM from the computing-on-the-cheap dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The X-Tender Case Mod for Xbox is a complete kit that will allow you convert your Xbox into a mini rack mount server or media center with activity LEDs and expanded space for two internal hard drives. Molded to perfectly integrate with your Xbox, this kit comes with a custom front panel, a 3 activity LED, a custom made hard drive mounting plate to accommodate one or two additional drives, and a custom molded rear panel. Specially designed X-Tender rods are included to internally support the expansion, allowing you to securely reassemble the machine. Additional space on front panel will allow the support of one LCD display on each side of the system, or additional LEDs or cold cathode lights. You can switch between the newly added drives via the buttons at the front."

Now I can hack my NetBSD sources to run on this thing, and go online with two 250 GBs! I'm gonna' run an IRC host with an open FTP server!
I already have the perfect firewall for this. It's running a port filter on the Dreamcast - in a router-on-a-stick configuration...
