Prepare to be jealous: Ben Heck shows off his new portable Xbox 360 photo

Behold Ben Heckendorn's latest creation: the Xbox 360 Portable. Unlike his previous "laptops," this model's hard drive can be removed and there is actually memory card access this time around. Also, the keyboard is nonexistent, hence the title.

As is the norm with Ben Heck's many time-consuming projects, this magnificent console was special ordered and most likely cost the lucky guy who bought it a pretty penny.

For the rest of us, there's always this lovely set of images for us to ogle over as we remember how low are bank accounts have become lately.

Remember when Niero asked us why we haven't bought gaming laptops yet? Hoping and praying for stuff like the above is one of the reasons.

@Redzie, its going to need all the ventilation it can get. But seriously though, I'd pay a sexy penny for that slice of deliciousness. Ben Heck never dissapoints.

It's "ogle," not "oggle." And the sentence should read "images for us to ogle, as we..." Just sayin'. :)

Eh, it doesn't seem all that portable if you look at the power cord coming out the back, likely with the mammoth power brick tucked away out of sight.

Not my favorite of his mods but it still be pretty damn cool to have.

Thanks for catching that, Sharpless. This WYSIWYG editor only works with Firefox's spellchecker half of the time, apparently.

Why didn't the guy who commissioned this just go out and get a regular laptop and save himself a buttload of money?

Because then he would've ended up with something he didn't want.

Ben Heck's work is the stuff of legend. The best part of the first one he did was leaving step by step instructions on how to make it yourself. If I had the time & patience, I would love to try to make my own.

I actually think if Heck were to design it properly and maybe add a bit of soldering, then it might be RROD-proof!
