Can you say lame as hell. In the same space as an Xbox you could buy a
shuttle with a P4 chip in it. Or better yet you could just purchse some
supermicros with dual cpu in a 1u and not need additional connections. 

There would have to be much better justification to using an crappy
700mhz machine to get me to waste my rack space for it. But I thought it
was cool as shit to watch Mark play with it at Phreaknic.
