I'm pulling my hair out trying to find one! Does anybody know if the exist or not? I'd prefer HDMI versus component as I've filled up all my other inputs on the tv.

No, and it wasn't even in the 360 until a year or so after launch.

It is however possible to get a component to hdmi converter/upscaler. But I highly advise against it, your quality won't be as good and well those devices are high priced and never give you the quality you deserve for the price you pay for them.
Best option is probably to find a component switch and just switch between the couple of component devices you already have. It may be a little more of a headache but it will keep you from having to unplug devices when you want to switch systems

Or convert something else that is Component to HDMI if possible.

Upscaler or nothing for original Xbox.

That'l be 25 cents per use, garagesaleking!!

Some AV receivers can upscale 480p signals to HD. I've got my Xbox, PS2 and Wii to display in 1080p thru my Onkyo TX-NR807 and they look great.
edit: Sounds like you're not looking to play in HD, you just need to free up some inputs on your tv. In that case, you should just get something like a Pelican System Selector Pro or a generic component switchbox from Monoprice.

I'm looking to get 480p out of my xbox. I currently have my Blue Ray, Satellite, and Wii all hookd in with the Component and HDMI, leaving one HDMI open. I have my DC on the VGA plug, and my XBOX and PS2 on the composite, and it looks like junk.

You need switchers, everyone with more than 2-3 consoles could use one or a few. And component will give you 480p.
Also, why HDMI/Xbox stuff in Classic sub? Just like after eating a bunch of Indian food, this thread needs to move.

Yeah, just get one of these and you'll be set. The Monoprice brand ones are pretty good quality too:
