Fun projects for a first-gen Xbox with a dead hard drive?

Our family has had a first generation Xbox console in occasional use — a friend gave it to me with an emulator installed so we could play old video games from time to time. The hard drive just died (it was manufactured in December 2001!), everything else still works. My son and I disassembled it carefully to learn about electronics and now he wants to do something cool with it. Any ideas or guides?

We would love to make some kind of Frankenstein machine out of this — maybe with another old video game system emulator on a new hard drive? Or something else, like a weird media server? What fun self-isolation projects could we do with this console?
