There's already threads about this.
And I hate people that modify they're console systems. It's illegal. :thumbdow:

Adding a larger HD to your XBox is not illegal. It just cancels your X-Box warranty. Please get your facts straight. Ever watch TechTV? They show you how to add Linux to your X-Box. It's called developing. I don't think they would do that if it was illegal. As for there already being threads on this, I searched Mr. Smart Alec, and couldn't find the answers to what I was looking for. So Please, instead of wasting your time and mine posting something useless, how bout take that built up frustration and hatred out on something else and just not reply? 
h: Sounds good to me.
h: Sounds good to me.So the question is still out there... (I'm not getting involved in the legality squabble):
Can a touch screen be added to the X-Box, and would it work?
Also, would it be able to run Media Car?
I'd be interested in this mod too, if it worked.

Well, the Xbox would now be a good CarPC, I'll admit it. Fine, you mod it.
As for heat issues, there were none, but if it suits you better, I'll say the fixed it with a better disk drive (Samsung as apposed to Thompson), and a more efficient fan. So yes, it'll be okay in your trunk, as long as you aren't using it 10 hours straight in a parking lot in Arizona. :thumbup:
Make sure your wireless controller is a radio frequency. So aren't, which means you'd have to point in the general direction of the Xbox to use it. Doesn't sound fun sitting backwards in a car seat.
There are now adapters that'll allow you to attach your Xbox up to a VGA moniter. I'm assuming if a VGA works, then a touch screen may.
Keep in mind your headunit should support Dolby, as the Xbox uses Dolby programming in most of its games. I think.
Just next time, calm yourself and

modding xbox, chipping passat
I<3myW8, according to your logic, chipping and modding your W8 IS illegal as well. But I am sure you've modfied your VW to a point where VW will refuse to repair your modded setup. Will they say it's illegal? NO - they'll just say you've voided your warranty by chipping your engine, etc.
When my engine died after 1 year, they replaced it. Had I tampered with it, they would either refuse to touch it or demand $10k to replace it.
Illegal means if cops saw it, they would confiscate it. Voiding your warranty is not illegal, regardless of what Microsoft thinks or says.
IMHO, as long as you pay for games that you play on xbox, you are ok. If you wish to run Linux, stream video from Tivo, play music, store all your games on the HD, you are ok. (legally and morally)
MS doesn't make money selling xbox hardware. They are actually loosing money on every console they sell. They make money by collecting royalties from publishers. Dependng on how bad MS wants certain game on their platform, they may lower the cost, help with programming, co-market and offer other incentives.
It's only a matter of time (2 years?) before new consoles come out and xbox (other consoles too) become overpriced doorstops. So excuse me and other loyal xbox fans who shelled out $300 on a console when it just came out and are trying to get the most out of our investment.
Speaking of investment, Microsft is hurting so bad, they are giving back 75 billion dollars back to shareholders. (i was being sarcastic) Check today's news or finance.yahoo.com msft
Finally, what will you do with your xbox once Microsoft stops supporting and selling games for it? Will you throw it away or try to recycle/reuse it?
*hacking your xbox is the environment-friendly thing to do*
