Despite dying off as a viable games machine a few years back, the Xbox is still good for something: the Xbox Media Centre. Problem is, the thing looks really boring.

Lucky for any of you using the setup, there are ways to spruce things up a bit. Make the Media Centre a little easier on the eye. Our pals at Lifehacker can show you how, and if you don't mind downloading a few 50-100MB files and doing a little tinkering, then you too can make your 2001 machine look a little more 2009.
