We know that this isn't Ben Heck's (Benjamin Heckendorn) first portable creation, but it's probably one of the most appealing to me. To be honest, I'm not much of an Xbox 360 gamer. I rarely dig FPS titles, and I prefer the nerdy delights of solitary JRPGs and SRPGs to online multiplayer. But the portability of this Xbox 360 gaming rig would certainly change my gaming habits.
This mod would be an Elite version, containing the newer 65nm chipset, a 120GB hard disk, and everything down to the ring of light. The screen he paired with this rig is of a 1280×720 resolution, which is perfect for 720p gaming action. It's rounded out by a full keyboard for messaging and a built-in camera for video fun.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to tuck one of these under my arms and go somewhere. Don't you think he should go mass market with these things?

That's fucking amazing!!
Also nice BioShock reference.
The overheating you could be onto something there. As for the battery life, if you were taking this places with you, I would highly suggest bringing a power cord. (Honestly if your bringing any laptop with you I would suggest a power cord, but that's my personal preference).
The XBox 360 Laptop is fucking awesome too, I'd commission him to build me one if I had the money. As for overheating, I don't think you have to worry about that, this guy is pretty smart about things like that. I think he uses some kind of water/liquid cooling device in it to keep the temperature down. I want one of these pretty bad.
Running of a laptop battery you're gonna get 5 minutes playtime.
Very sweet though.
Now do a Zune one, that would be impressive. PS3 iPod mod anyone?
What's BioShock?
- An OS.
- Ability to also hook it up to a TV.
I imagine those would be possible, but maybe I'm wrong.
He'd have an hard time making a PS3 one practical though, The damn thing is heavy enough already.
He DOES though have instructions on his website on HOW to build it and its actually not that expensive to do it yourself
