"Its full capability..."

You realize that even a mid-range PC from seven years back will run circles around the Xbox, right?  And that a modern PC's being "limited on its emulations" is like saying that the Grand Canyon is filling up because the Colorado runs?

The overhead, both perceived and real, is mooooore than well accounted for by the PC itself.

Is your PC circa 2001?  What do you expect to gain from a 733Mhz PIII and an ancient GPU?  Also, you misunderstand how USB fundamentally works.

I admire creativity, but you are asking about strapping a small racing hare to a Camry.

You want to have the xbox run emulators and connect to a PC? That's perfectly fine, but it is not necessarily any better at emulating stuff than the PC - it's emulator software is typically ported from PC.

Or as your title says " Is There A Way To Use An Original Xbox As A Removable Device For Pc" - you want the xbox to be a USB storage device? You can run a small linux and have it be a somewhat slow network storage device.

You should probably just mod the thing and install some emulators - check out emuxtras.net
