An Xbox 360 Laptop?
Will wonders never cease…. Before I jump into the story, take a look at this xbox mod.
Before I go off on my own tangent, let me give credit where credit is due, I found the article on PopSci.com, and recommend you take a look. This box was built by Ben Heckendorn’s game-console creations. They have previously created a portable Atari 2600 to a pocket-sized Nintendo 64, and are justifiably famous in the modder world. This laptop takes the cake though….
An excerpt from the article:
“To shoehorn a full 360 into the 2.25-by-16-by-12-inch case and keep it playable, Heckendorn had to install fans and speakers and redo the internal layout of the machine several times. He then rewired the console to output the video to the 17-inch LCD display, on which he mounted an Xbox Live Vision camera for online multiplayer games.
For the exterior, he coated the aluminum case with plastic engraving material, allowing him to paint hexagonal designs in gold on the marbled green surface. Always eager for a new challenge, and already having built a Wii laptop, Heckendorn has moved on to creating a portable version of the PlayStation 3.”
Want one of these? Who doesn’t?
