I heard that Microsoft actually loses money on the production and sale of
that thing (at least that was apparently the case a couple of years ago with
major console companies) so depending on your disposition you might get a
kind of joy out of not only running a competing OS on their hardware but
also costing Microsoft a few dollars in the process.

Subject: [clug] Mini-itx vs Linux on XBox
I would like a quiet low spec server for home, and am tossing up between a
mini-itx system and getting an Xbox and running Linux on it.
The Xbox costs around $299 + extra bits to get everything to work.
Can someone suggest a/some good spot(s) in Canberra to get mini-itx systems?
Thanks,
Rasjid.
