Howdy folks:

After hunting and not finding, I'm curious if anyone has found a way to hook an Xbox to an iMac. I have an 800 mhz 17 incher, and would love to find some technique to hook the TV out part of an Xbox to my machine. Would one of these devices that allows you to watch tv on your Mac work? Many thanks for help on this matter.

There's external USB tv interfaces for the imac, although I wouldn't expect the best performance/resolutions out of them since they are working with a limited-bandwidth bus. There may also be firewire interfaces (as I just noticed you mentioned having a 17" imac 800).

These tv interfaces will work with any 'console' gaming system, but the performance may not be as cool as you'd expect.
