    To play burnt games and movies your best bet is to get a modchip.

    A good media centre is here:
    http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/

    If you want a display get this:

    Or this:

    If you want to use either of the displays above, i recommend getting this modchip:

    It might seem like alot of money but it's definetly worth it :-D

    I dunno much about installing a wireless adapter or anything in the xbox but you can get wireless access points designed for games consoles, google it.

    you can always soft mod it aswell however, i dont belive that you can put media centre on an unchipped xbox.

    the only thing you can do to an unchipped box is softmod it and get to the main modded dash screen. if you want me to give you the tutorial on softmodding, just ask and ill post it.

    To get Xbox media center go to xbins and get it then go to their website i think it is in the Readme when you get it from xbins....I don't remeber where to put it but i think you putt in your APP folder and on the website it tells you all the things you can do with it and how to install it,, it is really cool...

    Edit: oh and u FTP it to your APPS
