Meta: A console hacked in this way loses all signature checks, meaning one can run any Homebrew, any pirated official game/DLC/etc content packages (the official store is shutting down so fuck it lol), any unsigned content packages like custom Rock Band songs, anything.

You can convert your Dashboard-installed legally-owned games to run without the disc (NXE2GOD, i.e. New XBOX Experience [Dashboard update that introduced the DVD-installation feature] to Games On Demand).

You can patch out the 10ms “ping limit” and tunnel System Link over the Internet. You can replace the HDD without the hassle of the MS-signed security sector and without being limited to officially-sold capacities like 20/60/120/250GB — shove a 2TB laptop SSD in there!
