		<description><![CDATA[Home Media Centers are becoming more and more popular. Lots of people want them, few are cheap, but with a little know-how and a lot of dedication you can put together a home media center for next to nothing.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I didn&#8217;t know just how cool home media centers could be until I created my own.  I currently have a modded Xbox running XBMC networked with an Ubuntu Linux server that I use for all of my media storage. Basically, the Xbox acts as a console and player for all of my media &#8211; movies, pictures, and music.  Startup time is quick, the resolution is amazing, and I can still play my favorite Xbox games.</p>
<p>The total cost of his project was around $100 and about 20 hours of time (that was my first time &#8211; now I can mod the Xbox and configure it within 2 hours). Most of  my time was spent pouring over forums, tutorials, and blogs trying to figure out exactly how to get everything to work right.  The invaluable <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2007/09/15/transform_your_classic_xbox_in_1.html" target="_blank">HowTo</a> that I used which provided me most of the information I needed was from the awesome writers at <a href="http://lifehacker.com/" target="_blank">Lifehacker</a>.  The rest of the set up and configuration I learned on the fly and through <a href="http://jurisjourney.com/" target="_blank">Aaron Brauer-Reike</a>.</p>
<p>Want to do it yourself?  Jump over to my <a href="http://t11m.info/wiki/index.php?title=XBMC">Wiki</a> to see all my personal documentation (still in progress) or leave me a comment!</p>
