Takes a little leg work to get running, but will allow you to:

Your modded Xbox running XBMC will be networked with the rest of the computers in your house and let you:
  • Play videos, music, and photo slideshows located on any shared drive in the house displayed on the television in your living room
  • Watch Apple movie trailers, YouTube videos, Launch.com videos, and see RSS newsfeeds dynamically loaded from the internets
  • Transfer files to and from your Xbox's hard drive
  • Rip DVDs to a shared network drive to play later or backup
  • Watch DVDs sans "dongle" (no more DVD Playback Kit required!)
Plus all your games and saved games work as usual (EXCEPT for Xbox Live—see more below.)

All the details here:
