I am wondering what could be done with this device in 2017 ?

• It could work as a DVD player but fan is too loud , unless it's possible to hard/software disable it (hints welcome) ?
• Are there any projects still active on this platform ? XBMC4XBOX, MAME, Linux ?

I am talking about the Original model from 2001 (not 360, one or later) :
