Have you also modded it to output an HD signal?
I just softmodded my old Xbox so I can use it as a media player in the bedroom. Got myself some component cables for it, set it to NTSC (Enigmah) and now have XBMC outputting a 720p signal to the 19" LCD I have it connected to. Videos are still upscaled obviously (it's a bit lacking in power to play back proper HD files I believe .... might give it a try with a couple of 720p ones though) but still look pretty good.
Have to say, I'm mightily impressed with what you can do with a modded Xbox. Never really looked into it until last week but once I got started I couldn't stop fiddling with it.
Have now gone as far as buying an access point for it so I can hook it into my network wirelessly.
Great fun!
