I was wondering if their is a way to use an Xbox360 and change it as a PC, even if its not for gaming. Curious cause I have a 360 collecting dust around and I don't really want to give it away, sell it or throw it away... Is it possible? Or am I just stupid?

It's not possible the architecture is different and the components are old.

If slick can't underclock his 5 year old GPU to be as bad as a NEXT-gen console, i don't think it would be worth putting an PC OS on an old console, and you can't even do it since the architecture of the components is not compatible with PC OS's

CPU: i7 - 2600k. GPU: GTX 1070. Mobo: intel something. RAM: Corsair XMS3 @1600Mhz (8GB). SSD: Crucial MX100 256GB. HDD: WD Green 1TB . Case: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Monitors: LG 25UM65-P and Benq 2200HD Keyboard: Corsair vengeance K70 FPS Red switch. Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Core. Headset: Steelseries Siberia V2

Did you also know a Jtag is an illegal bit of kit? It might be able to run Linux but nothing else.

You can try to gut it and build a micro-ITX PC inside...

 

Someone was able to do it on a Wii so why not a 360?

Not on a 360. On the PS3 I believe you could put Linux on it.

you did it right

 

As said there are ways to make Xbox run Linux, but it requires good quality tools, knowledge of soldering, modding and electronics and programmics in General... 

 

It is possible but damn, I would not do it. Too much hassle, too much time, and sadly I do not have enough time to do it
