I see used XBOX 360's going for as little as $80. I have also seen mentions around the net of using a 360 as a "Media Extender" with Windows Media Center. Here's a Microsoft link that describes how.I've not researched this much as yet. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on utilizing a cheap 360 as a "Media Extender" ? |

I've not used one personally but I believe they work pretty well. In fact if you are using Windows 8 they are the only supported extender. I think some of the older 360s can be quiet noisy though. The newer slim revisions are better.
I have one of the Linksys extenders which can you pick up really cheaply on eBay now. However these will only work with Windows 7. |
