I’ve got an old Xbox 360 collecting dust and I’m wondering if it’s possible to mod it into some kind of basic NAS or media server. I know it’s not ideal hardware, but I’d love to squeeze some last bit of life out of it—maybe for file storage, a simple Samba share, or even basic Plex functionality.

Is anyone here crazy enough to have tried this? Can the 360 be jailbroken and loaded with Linux or similar tools? Or is it just better to toss it and move on?
