Also, I've heard that the DVD-Drive on Gen1 Xboxes can be replaced with a generic DVD-Drive - this being due to Microsoft pushing to make the Xbox as much like a PC disguised as a console as possible....
....Ah! Nevermind! It turns out that isn't really feasible. (Possible, yes, with a stupid amount of time and will power.) However, it may be possible to find a replacement drive on Ebay or some such... Just make sure you're not getting one of the 'Thompson' drives... those are the cheap-ass unreliable ones that break as soon as your touch it.
