Whats inside an Xbox

I was just doing a bit of maintenance with my two Xboxes. No, I don't have a mod-chip but I plan to get one eventually (unless someone wants to donate one to me). I want to convert one to a dedicated Linux server. Currently, I have one vanilla Xbox and the other is soft-modded to run XBMC, Xbox Media Center with a hard disk upgrade. This is way cheaper than buying another PC to play movies/tv shows on my TV over the network. Plus it also plays games. Not in the pictures is my USB cable modification so I can use a keyboard and USB memory sticks on my Xbox.
