Are Early 2000s Media Center PCs Still Usable?

Description YT

In this video, I worked on a 2005 HP media center PC, The HP Media Center M7250N. This machine came with a Pentium D 820 with 1GB of ddr2 and an ATI RV370SE (128MB X300SE) and well... it sucks.
I attempt to upgrade and use as a modern media center with a Linux based OS called LinHES (Linux Home Entertainment System). Was it worth it?
