Fair play you! Gentoox's MCE is a very versatile media player with a lot of bonuses over such packages such as XBMC
1. i do not know if you need to mod the xbox or not
2. if so what kind of mod
Yes you do need to mod the Xbox. Firstly you will require a hard disk that is 20GB or larger to install MCE on, secondly you are required to have the XBox running a non standard BIOS. There are 2 way to do this.
1 - Mostly hardware which involves buying and fitting a mod chip then upgrading it's BIOS;
2 - Mostly software which involves linking a few solder points on Xbox's motherboard then using "have action replay and eather 007nightfire,mechassult,splintercell(the original i believe)" as suggested by spikeofdoom and reprogramming the on board TSOP.
3. where do i get the mod and how do i install it
http://www.google.com is you friend! Search 'xbox mod chip' this should find you the hardware you require. The mod chip will normall arrive with a suitable BIOS for installing MCE.
4. finally how do i install Gentoox
