Why not use the xbox as a media center - nothing beats XBMC, unless you're a diehard HD video watcher.
I'll post my setup later.

20" RCA CRT TV
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
That's it. My budget doesn't allow for a big screen TV.

42" plasma
xbox 360
dedicated TV capture unit/file server
thats it.. no HDPVR satellites, or crazy surround sound systems..
I chose the 360 over the original xbox because of the upscaling ability. 42" plasma looks like pure shit in 480i the xbox puts out using MCE software, 360 looks beautiful, and has native support for HD video files, or can be transcoded easily.

If you do all of your gaming on the 360, you will probably find that one of the Nvidia 8600 or ATI 2600 series cards will get your computer hooked up to your WS at a really decent price (can be found for sale on-line sub $100). |
