I suggest trying it yourself, not only to save money, but you'd also eventually have to buy a router to ftp games and movies to the Xbox (you'll also become familiarized with how to setup games, etc).
The one problem is the stock HD. It's only about 8 gigs, but it has separate drives with the largest being 4 gigs. Xbox games I suggest not saving onto the Xbox since they range from 700mb-4+ gigs (PGR2, which wouldn't fit). NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis all fit easily (emulators and games). If you want to upgrade the HD, I don't know how to do that.
Also, if you have Xbox live, you can't play online with the software modding installed because you'll get banned from Live. With the router, you can send all the info on the Xbox back to your PC and play on Xbox Live. You can save all your games on your PC and send them over whenever you want to play them, too.
