XBox Media Center or MythTV HTPC???
So I've decided that I need a media center. I don't know how much use I would get out of it but as an engineer I need to build one. There are so many cool software packages to choose from (excluding Windows Media Center). Currently I'm torn between using a modified XBox to run XBox Media Center and a self-built Linux box running MythTV. For price reasons I will probably go with the XBox/XBox Media Center option. Of course, I could always install MythTV on an XBox running Linux. If anyone is actually reading this I would appreciate input. over and out...

I currently use XBMC and love it for my viedo & audio playback. What can I say ... it rocks! I have two WRT54G's with DD-WRT firmware setup in a WDS Bridge so no wires between the Xbox and my other PC's on the network. I can steam video and audio from the smb's share, download the latest & greatest shows via Bit Torrent. Now if the Xbox could only capture then I would be set.
Yeah, the inability to capture video is starting to push me away from the XBox solution. I'm starting to look at some Mac Mini solutions too...
