google xbox media centre if you on about the older xbox

also ethernet

Yeah original xbox.

cheers

*edit*

Did that google. Looks way to confusing. Don't particularly fancy modding an xbox either. And without VGA it's no good to me.

Thought a £30 HTPC looked too good to be true

Can/How does xbox connect to network? ethernet? YES
Can/How does xbox used to stream video from pc? formats supported? YES - Pretty much everything afaik using XBMC
Does xbox have D-SUB / VGA whatever you want to call it? I'm pretty sure you can hook an xbox up to a monitor if thats what you mean, not 100% though

Emailed you mate. A uni lecturer I know has one sitting on top of his monitor in his office so I presume you can hook it up to one.

Surely you can get a composite to D-SUB adapter and you're away?
