Hey guys, liek title says, I'm thinking of putting an Xbox in my car to kinda use like a computer.
I've heard of people doing this, but I'm so clueless, so just looking for some help.
I'm sure a few of you guys have done this, info would be helpful, thanks.

you can take out the last two controller ports and solder in a keyboard and mouse if you want. If you get a chip and install linux software you should out in a new hard drivew up to 130 gigabytes then stat ripping games onto it. It can be a blast once its setup right it can be used pretty damn close to a comp.

wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy a used/older computer with a big hard drive and set it's software up to do what you want?

Unless you are actually going to use it for xbox games, that is.
