is it possible? if so where should i start?

thanks alot

Sure it is.

Start at the wiki to get a base of what hardware you want. Mainly intel cpu, and if you're on budget, the celeron conroe dual core should handle hd content just fine.

Turn your XBox into an Apple TV like experience.

is their a wiki for build your own apple tv then?

excuse my ignorance

on ebay u can buy hard drives pre loaded with the apple tv os

so i guess i just need the components that are known to work with the apple tv os

i did this a while back... worked okayish, but i stupidly chose a case capable of a full size ATX board, so it was a huge beast. eventually it overheated and fried the mobo lol.

if i was doing this again, i'd probably look to build something on the intel little falls 2 mini-itx board, which are cheap and probably powerful enough, at least for non-HD stuff.

here's a link to my old thread on the subject:

PS Since those days, I went XBMC on an Xbox, and now run a hacked AppleTV (a real one) running nitoTV and rtorrent, and am planning to add EyeTV at some point.
