Congratulations, you turned a gaming console into an unexpandable computer with a shitty Macintosh PPC processor that will fail.

I typically upgrade my computers... BUT, if it's expanding you want, I'm ~99% sure you can "expand" the HDD. Also, PPC is an IBM chip.. not a mac chip. Get your shit straight if you're gonna flame.

ya I already slapped a 250gb drive in there, and $140 for a "unexpandable computer with a shitty Macintosh PPC processor" isn't so bad.

an IBM chip which primarily, almost exclusively was found in apple computers until 2005. i know IBM made them, but it doesn't hold as negative a connotation when phrased as such :P

I don't know of any other "computers" capable of running NXE, although I'd be very excited to see one.
